  Taking the screenshots early is like course management. This is where strategy comes into play. I also saw the scores on 18.

   

  Lol, I always assumed that it's necessary to take screenshots on the last hole because that's the only way to compare the score on the screenshot to the shot of the actual scorecard. Otherwise, people could do the front under the requested conditions, then restart the game with low winds and their own clubs, replicate their scores over the front (not that difficult with enhanced clubs and balls, maybe not on the 1st try though) and then rip through the back 9 with no mercy.

  But I just want to make it clear that I in no way think for a second that any of us would do that, I fully believe that everyone here way too much integrity to even think of this option. I was just thinking out loud, my mind has a tendency to spot most loop holes and I sincerely wish I'll keep using it to help plugging them, not abusing them.

  That is a depressing thought Puho, I am sure it won't happen, but if everyone has to take a clubs greenshot on both front and back then so be it.

  I am very worried now as time goes by that our score is not going to be good enough. That is the nature of waiting I suppose, one always expects the worst. 

  My partner and I did several practice runs on our own just to get familiar with this format, so I hope that is/was allowed. We also had several hiccups during our attempts to play the round and as we had no screenshots were forced to restart.

  Luckily in those aborted ( WGT ) rounds we had a loysy score going.

  I had 2 power cuts and my partner lost his internet once, it really was a trial of strength for the both of us.

  Lol, try living with a mind like that ;-) But as I said, I never thought for a second that something like that could happen in this company and I never will.

  Hi Mshiner,

  I have send you our ("Bremskloetze") scorecards with an e-mail. I hope that you got them? In the end my knowledge about computer-using is as bad as my english too, sorry for that. I am 50 years old and did not used computers so very often in my life. Because of that I am happy every time I turn on my laptop without to hear an explosion  ;-)

  Just received an email from alosso stating that team "Birdierabbits has conceded their match against team "Uneven Liars".

  Team "Uneven Liars" moves on to the second round in the winners bracket.

  Team "Birdierabbits" moves on to the second round and will play the loser of Bremskloetze vs. Unbalanced

  I'll let you folks know when I get things right with the bracket and website.

  The screens of the Dreamteam. Have tried to keep the round together, was not easy. But the others have, too - so what it should. In the end, wassernixe saved the round with 2 Birds - a 3 he was denied at the 18th.

  11 times a headwind, crosswind 2 times - the rest of us up the back. 0.2 and 0.9 of wassernixe and me at hole 1 for Bird - a good start has been denied us. 

  Thanks to my partner for the round - in the next we will do everything - as always!

   

  Screens:

  Er, .... well, this is a bit of an anti-climax. Birdierabbits is conceding! ...  based on a few screenshots and some chat which may or may not be true coming from a team with 'Liars' in their name. Seems premature to me!

  I was really looking forward to seeing each card side by side (or one under the other) and working out the result hole-by-hole (or at least seeing where one team did well or struggled). 

  Shiner: if you're having technical difficulties with the website etc, should we post cards here in the thread once both teams are finished?

  No trouble Corwyn just a rough couple of days.

  The bracket has been updated along with the scorecards from the team vs. team match-ups on the website under Round 1.

  I also would like to see the card regardless of the concession and especially in the light of our conversations.
