  8 7 teams have played their second round. Everything from these 8 teams has been received and checked for score totals.

  This leaves The Whinning Pussies, good kush, Cuppers, Dreamteam, Unbalanced and Bremskloetze left to play.

  Cerino Devpti, why do you offer totally unrealistic prizes for us playing with starter clubs.

  Your best ever round round is 58, yet you haven't broken 60 this year, and you offer a "prize" for someone shooting a 60 at Congress, and the same for shooting a 61 at RSG/

  Uneven Lies as well.

  You want to be generous then at least make it attainable.

   

  Well I feel those scores aren't unrealistic but extremely hard to achieve with less than anything than perfect gameplay, strategy and especially putting. I play several practice rounds alone and notate how many different holes I can birdie .After so many rounds I add them up and create the challenge. If I can birdie 9 holes across 5 rounds I could have birdied 9 holes all in one round. It's meant to be a hard target to reach so that players that are willing to take an extra bit of risk receive a reward for doing so. In the CCC round Corwyn and I shot -7 combined but we missed 3 birdie putts that could have been made. In my mind the -10 challenge was certainly attainable but we failed to do it. If we could have done it any pair could have done it.. The single player challenge is based on the same idea. One player in the pair could have scored those birdies that were possible.

  Also, I want to support Shiners effort in putting on this Tourney and taking on the task of paying out all the prizes himself.

  Frankly, what my best round scores have to do with this is puzzling to me and a little insulting that you would remark in that manner.

  The single player scores might be unreachable,

  They are as "unreachable" as 23 for 9 in regular play ;)  I had five realistic birdie putts on the front  nine alone. Missing any was as realistic as hitting them. Add 10, 11, 12, 14, 16 for another five realistic opportunities...

  With a great putting day, these scores are within the realm of possible. In one of our practice rounds, the -7 that Cerino mentioned, I played near-perfectly tee-to-green for the first 4 holes but didn't sink any of those makeable putts. Add another couple of 10 ft misses on the back 9 and I could easily have had 6 extra birdies to go with the 4 I did make.

  Obviously a single-player score of -9 would require a lot of luck too, especially with the wind. Having outside chances of birdie on #13, #15, #17, and #18, rather than a tough fight to save par on each of those, would also make a huge difference.

  RSG is unusual among our unevens starters courses in that pretty much every hole is potentially birdieable.

  Well folks one match-up for Round 2 has been decided with team Maulwurftoter moving on to round 3. I have to give the Dreamteam credit they shot some really good scores just not good enough.

  The bracket has been updated but I have to explain something first. Challonge will not let you edit after the start of the tournament. Therefore I just took one of the two teams that didn't play and put them in that spot. The Dreamteam shot a team total of 67 for their second round and sent me everything but the kitchen sink.

  The scorecards are here for comparision under Round 2.

  Team "Bremskloetze" played the second round. But after it, I realized, that there are problems with the screenshots. Mine are not saved on my laptop and on the others of my partner it is not to see that we played uneven lies, but we did. So my word for that has to be enough, mnshiner and the other folks have to decide that. Like I said a few days ago I did not used computers very much on work, I am able to surf in Internet and play games, but all this with screenshots and so on might be easy for others, for me it is all new and leads me to problems. I send all I had to mnshiner now., that is all I can do.

  No problem on my end with what you have turned in.

  So the match-up between Bremskloetze and Uneven Liars has been decided with team Uneven Liars moving on to Round 3 in the winners bracket. Team Bremskloetze moves to the losers bracket for Round 3 and my decision on how to finish the tournament for that bracket.

  The website has also been updated.

  Edit: I am crossing my fingers that the remaining teams do not wait until the last minute to play their round. It really puts me in a bind trying to go over everything and do it correctly without a possible mistake that could happen. Not rushing anyone here but after last week it sounded if folks were ready to give up on this tournament.

  Josh and I played our game this afternoon. Another fun round, where we really didn't play half bad, but unfortunately didn't cover each others mistakes like in round 1. And our balls kept flirting with the holes, but almost never got in on the 1st date (damn close every time, though), although Josh managed a 47 feet beauty on #8 over the hill (head wind killed our chance to get closer). The wind set was a bit nasty in general, tail winds on holes where you really don't want them (like #1) and head winds on both par 5s and those par 4s where you'd need tail to reach in REG. But no complaints really, it's how the dice rolled. What's important is that both of us had a good time (especially after Everton scored on Man City, lol). I filled out the submission link and Josh was designated to take screens and send them to you, mnshiner. I trust you received them?

  And tell Granny there will be no whooping of my rear end this time, we have the shot with the green speed as well ;-)
