I was in my head composing a letter to WGT on this subject when I ran across this discussion.
Owners should be able to kill tournaments within 24 or 48 hours … not just brackets which I can do now. (Why brackets only?)
I have had 3 problems in Black Diamond GC:
1. a hole new member, a hole tournament. Worst example was a guy who joined club one day, posted an 18x4 tournament with super fast greens and tied up the slot for 4 weeks, and quit club next day. It was a hack; he didn't have decency to play round 1. "Solved" sort of: That's when I killed tournament posting by non-directors.
2. Lag time response from WGT so we end with duplicates.
3. Accidental error in post. 1 v. 5 days in middle of a 3 round 5 day tournament. Others can add to this. We catch it within a few hours, but no ability to fix it.
In all cases, club owners should be able to respond without going through WGT. And if it's on a Friday, we won't hear for 3 days at best from WGT.
Tom.
