It’s not
normal that in 2015 the generation of RG tournaments is still manual. Here a suggestion for an automatic process.
The list of
RG’s by tier, credits and EL/UEL should be decided one time forever (can be
adjusted here and there according to the comments of the players). and should not be changed every periods.
An example:
List of 50
cr. RG’s for all tiers:
- 1
UEL 9-holes RG
- 3
EL 9-holes RG
List of 100
cr. RG’s for all tiers:
- 1
UEL 9-holes RG
- 2
EL 9-holes RG
- 1
EL 18-holes RG
List of 200
cr. RG’s for all tiers:
- 1
UEL 18-holes RG
- 1
EL 9-holes RG
- 2
EL 18-holes RG
List of 300
cr. RG’s for all tiers
- 1
UEL 18-holes RG
- 1
EL 9-holes RG
- 1
EL 18-holes RG
List of 400
cr. RG’s for all tiers
- 1
EL 9-holes RG
- 1
EL 18-holes RG
List of 500
cr. RG’s for all tiers
- 1
UEL 18-holes RG
- 1
EL 18-holes RG
List of
1000 cr. RG’s for all tiers
- 1
EL 18 holes RG
List of RG’s
for Tour Legend
- 1 100
cr. 9-holes RG
- 1 200
cr. 18-holes RG
- 2 300
cr. 18-holes RG
List of RG’s
for other tiers…
The course,
green, hole location and wind should be changed every periods (to define) for each RG of the
above list.
The course
Make 2
lists, one with all the 18-holes courses and one with all the 9-holes courses,
the sort for each list is different and should be random (but done one time and
changed only when a new course is available). For example:
- List
of 18-holes courses: STA-OAK-MER-BAN-OLY-….
- List
of 9-holes courses: WHI B9-CABO F9-OLY F9-BPB F9-BOHH B9-….
At each
start of period, each RG of the above list will have a new course, the next one
in the list (for the first period each RG will be associated to a random
course).
Example for
a 50 cr. RG:
- First
period => random draw => 3rd course in the list => OLY F9.
- Second
period => BPB F9
- Third
period => BOHH B9
- …
Example for
a 100 cr 18-holes RG:
- First
period => randow draw => 1st course in the list => STA
- Second
period => OAK
- Third
period => MER
- …
So only the
first period has to be done manually to be sure to have a maximum of different
courses. Then it will be the case for sure and we are also sure that every courses
will be available for each credits/tier one day (the period could be much
shorter, like 2 weeks, since it’s automatic).
The green
speed
Should be
random for each period and for each RG of the above list. But not a total
random. I don’t think a tour legend are interested to play with a green speed
of 7. So:
- All
tier RG => green speed is random (from the minimum available to the maximum
available)
- Tour
legend RG => green speed is random between 12 and 14
- Legend
RG => green speed is random between 11 and 13
- …
Hole location
Random for each period and for each RG of the above list.
The wind
Random for
each period and for each RG of the above list. So we are sure to have every
wind conditions every periods. Sometime we will have more heavy wind, sometime
more low wind but at the end everybody will have the wind he likes for the
stack he likes to play.
So what do
you think about this automatic process? The examples are here just to
illustrate the process, it’s not a suggestion even if I think my list is
well-balanced.
