Isn't that kind of an unusual way to express match play scores? Usually they are expressed as "X and Y", where:

X = number of holes the winner won by, and
Y = number of remaining holes that did not need to be played. (If Y = 0, then the final score is just expressed as 1 up or 2 up)

Actually, it is explained better at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_play

Examples: I am up 6 (I have outscored you on 6 holes) and there only 5 holes to play, therefore I win "6 and 5" (there is no need to play the remaining holes, because even if you win them all, I still beat you.)

So the technically correct way to express the scores would be:

Fancher def. Camo 2 up
Florance def. Helean 2 up
Stowell def. Kabza 1 up
Williams def. Linaman 3 and 2
Saulter def. Gillespie 4 and 3
Skellenger def. breece 9 and 8

Camo vs Jeremy Fancher...winner... Fancher 5 to 3
Sean Helean vs Eddie F...winner... Eddie F 6 to 4
Nate Kabaza vs Don Stowell...winner... Don Stowell 5 to 4
Fat Boy William vs Linaman...winner...Fat Boy! 4 to 1
Doug Saulter vs Dizzy...winner...Doug Saulter 8 to 4
Tim Skellenger vs Breece...winner...Skellenger 9 to 0


If I interpret the "points" correctly...

I know it is not a big deal, but I think that correct match play scoring traditions should be observed at match play events...
