Friday 28th of January
We have got a real crowded leaderboard with 2 Internationals players sharing the top spot in simovoice and antuniccu ! Just behind them are a big pack of players waiting to pounce and with 16 players within 3 strokes of the lead, we are in for a huge battle in the final round !
Here is the top of the leaderboard after round 2 -

THE CUT LINE -
- Total number of Players entered: 73
- Total of Players made the cut: 48
- Total of Players did not finished: 5 (Good work everyone)
- Players disqualified: 2
The cut line's been set at the competitive score of -4, only 7 shots from the leading scores !
DISQUALIFICATION - After much time spent Lou & I have made a decision to disqualified 2 players from this tournament in bombur & ernipagni. We have found that they both have abused the marking system by playing many games with each other and chose the round where one of them have shoot a low score and proceeded to assign the other as a marker ! You can all view their scorecards on page 191 and it's not difficult to come to the same conclusion as Lou & I ! I also found out that bombur also previously posted a scorecard on page 179 which he has now edited to give us a link to some nondescript site that has nothing to do with the scorecard that was their previously !
This is only the second time that I have seen a case where I've found players attempted or tried to cheat on the WGA Tour ! It's saddened me greatly to see that any players even think about cheating in any ways on here as I've put in a lot of time and effort to create an environment that is fun and encourages friendly competition as well as good sportsmanship. It's also a good place for any players to improve his game by playing in an atmosphere similar to the tournaments that WGT put on, which does not exist any where else on this site. Besides it's should be noted that this is all about playing golf, the game that we all love so dearly and the reason why we all spent so much time and even invest our hard earned money ! So I'd like to point out to anyone who cheats at this game that this Tour is not the place for you and you're definitely NOT welcome here !
NEW RULE FOR PLAYERS ACTING AS MARKERS -
To avoid further similar problems mentioned above, Lou & I would like to introduce a new rule regarding the marker system and it's effective immediately as of today -
"A player can not act as a marker in a round unless he has completed his own game in that round. There are no exception to this rule and any players who does not follow this rule is immediately disqualified from the tournament & possibly the entire Tour."
FINAL ROUND PAIRINGS
Again I'd like to point out that It's very important that all players must strictly adhered to the assigned pairing above and should only proceed to play with a marker if their partner can not be contacted by Sunday morning. Should anyone have a problems or any issues they can PM myself or Lou.
