Community Tournament Idea

  Here's a thought and a way WGT could really assist the community.  

  If somehow they could allow you to create single play tournaments where you invite up to 250 players .... and restrict  the tournament to those of players ... it would make running community tournaments more fun and fair for everyone playing and 100 times easier for the folks organizing them.  No more reporting scores and posting scorecards ... that in itself would be worth it.

  Much like setting up a CC tournament --- Imagine being able to create a list of up to 250 WGT player ID's and inviting them to play in a tournament - much like we create them for country clubs.    I'm sure the large CC's create single play tourney rounds for 250 players which are all tracked by WGT.

  I think you would see more and more tours (such as the one JimBean is putting together) and more people playing.   The person running the tourney could run them however they want .. by country, average, whatever --- just make a list of who can participate... and the tourney is restricted to that list.

  Anyway .. just another thought.

  Interesting idea. I do like it but I am not sure if we have framework for it, such as country club and so on, where it could easily be done.

  Hrm, something to ponder

  here's an example..................

  1. give members the ability / set their permissions to become members of 2 cc's.

  2. Jim or whoever is running a community based tournament then sets up the WGF CC.

  3. all the players entered in the Tour then could get an invitation to join the WGF CC from the WGF CC Owner.

  4. all matches in the tour can then be played via WGF CC Tournaments.

  Should be easy to sort out.

  Sounds like Lou's idea  but I'll steal it anyway.
