  I just played in a tierless  hole bracket at St Andy's and carded a 31. It didn't register anywhere. It didn't show that bracket again. There were 5 other people that already carded scores. WTF?

  That would be a NINE hole bracket obviously.

  BDU or STA - which one?

  There's a STA bracket still open (106317) - perhaps the scores aren't shown until it's full?

  STA. I posted a 31. It didn't register it anywhere. It didn't show I even played. On my profile page, or in the bracket tourney. It wouldn't even give me access to see the bracket standings.

  This is beyond bogus.

  To the best of my knowledge bracket scores don't show until both opponents have played. 

  Otherwise your opponent would get to see your score and know what he/she had to shoot.

  But then again my knowledge is limited at best.

  Melonhead66630:

  That's logical, corresponding to RGs, but not quite correct.

  I just joined a Bracket which filled while I played. Now both my opponent's and my scores are shown in the Bracket but not in our score histories. I even left the "Open Brackets" list open to have a look at it later - it was marked as "need to play" but it disappeared by itself (Javascript), without me reloading the page.

  The link in a mail notice fails, too, pointing to the Tournament description page with no link to display the Bracket.

  But, it is displayed in the Bracket results section with the mark "only tourneys that I entered" checked:

  

  The score did already modify my average though, so I wonder when it will be displayed in my own score history? My guess is, when the first round is over(?)

  Edit: Picture added

  Edit 2: Returning to the Closed Brackets tab, that Bracket is gone, now it shows

  "There are currently no tournament results to display matching your filter settings."

  Now I can no longer access that Bracket :(

  Nevertheless, it's still active, I found it through the Bracket tab of the game window. Your chance, TRutger!

  Thanks Melon and alosso.

  When I logged in today it was posted on my score history and in the tourney. Lots of "glitches" in this bracket game. I had to close the screen after every shot in the second round because it black screen froze on me. Not to mention the VEM activity was off the charts on every green. It decided it wanted to adjust the breaks on it's own rather than the meter dictating. I missed three gimme's inside 3' that I haven't missed in over a year. Oh well, somebody once said something about existence being futile...........lol......

  A summary attempt from the observations of a Regular 9 Hole Stroke Bracket:

  Access to a Bracket

  When a player enters a Bracket, it will be addressable for him like this:

  Until the spaces are filled,
  - via the Open Brackets tab in the main screen,
     (This should be true for any account)
  - parallel in the Brackets tab of the game window (assumed).
  Once all spaces are filled,
  - in the Closed Brackets tab of the main screen (for an unspecified but short time)
  - parallel in the Brackets tab of the game window,

  When the first round is over,
  - in the stroke history of each participant (also for externals),
  - parallel in the Brackets tab of the game window, for each participant.

  AFAIK, a completed Bracket can only be accessed via the stroke history of the participants.

  Scoring

  Average (and tier?) of each player should be recalculated as soon as his round is finished.

  The scores will be published

  - in the Bracket, once both opponents have posted their score,

  - on the profile pages, once the round is complete.

  Bracket result

  Once the Bracket has finished, the result may only be accessed through the score history of participants.

  A few minutes after finish, the Brackets results page is empty, texting "There are currently no tournament results to display matching your filter settings." (The "Display own tourneys" mark being set)

  Once again, they did only half of the work, caring NOT for the customers.
