A step-by-step guide to playing a round of the WGF Tour
1. Find a playing partner who is also participating in the WGF Tour using one of the following methods:
a) Agree a time with a fellow CC member or person who is on your friend list
b) Send friend requests to other players in the WGF tour and arranges times direct
c) Use the following link to see WGF players who are on at the same time as you
List of Registered Players
You can then wall post/FR to arrange a time directly (all times align to GMT)
d) Use the following link to see if anyone is in the IRC channel looking for a round
IRC Channel (chat room to organise matches)
e) Post in this thread that you're looking to play a round during a specific timeframe
- We would highly recommend sending friend requests to 5-10 players who play during the same time window as yourself. This will make finding a playing partner much easier on a weekly basis.
2. Know the specific playing conditions of the round you are playing. The variables set will include course, wind speed, green speed, hole location, tee box and mandatory equipment.
3. Play your round only once irrespective of how you and your partner are playing; this is a friendly tour where we want the spirit of golf to be upheld. By following all the rules set out for the tour, it also minimizes the workload which the management team have to do (which will make me very happy ;) )
4. Take a screenshot when you are on the final green. This should show the green speed, wind speed and also should highlight any mandatory equipment that has been set for that week. Don't rely on your playing partner; make sure you take a shot yourself.
5. Take a screenshot of your scorecard. Alongside the screenshot of the green, this is essential for verifying your score. Again, don't rely on your playing partner; make sure you take a shot yourself.
6. Agree which player will post the scorecard / greenshot in the forum. Keep the saves on your PC / Mac, even if you are not having to post them in the forum. Remember that where an equipment restriction is in play, all players must post a screenshot showing the correct equipment was used.
7. Post your own score using the link provided at the beginning of the week's tournament. Each player is responsible for posting your score. Do not rely on your playing partner to do this. You will need to know how many eagles you've made as well as the number of birdies scored on par 3's. Please be accurate with the information you put in as it will save time for the scorers having to change this on the master scoreboard.
8. Relax and bask in the glory of seeing your name on the leaderboard (hopefully more toward the top than the bottom). We will aim to update the scoreboard as often as possible (at least once per day) but please be patient as all of us have day jobs and can't give our whole lives over to running this event.

If anyone has any complaints or notices errors on the leaderboard, please send a wall post to any of the tour management team or one of the scorers (DougieWaugh or SeanMan81). Dougie will be conducting the scoring for W1 so it is best to WP him if you don't get a quick reply from myself, FJ3000 or Daskino.
