    Other than WGT nobody else has tried to put on this type of tournament. I believe I can and will do my best like I did in the last one I hosted.:
    Tournament
    The tournament will begin on May 26 20th with the last round taking place the week ending June 22nd 15th. The first 16 that sign up will be playing UEL with a 50% chance of Elimination 18 Holes.
    1st Round 26 > best 14 scores stay in top bracket; worst 12 scores drop to (optional) lower bracket
    Top Bracket :: 2nd Round: 14 > 7 best scores progress in top bracket, 7 worst drop out (or join lower bracket if they wish)
    Top Bracket :: 3rd Round: 7 + best score from lower bracket 2nd Round to make 8. They all play and ... > best 2 scores go to final
    Top Bracket :: Final: last 2 > best score is overall winner ------
    Lower Bracket :: starts with bottom 12 scores from 1st Round...
    Lower Bracket :: 2nd Round :: 12 > 6 winners [top placed finisher rejoins Top Bracket for 3rd Round] ... Remaining 5 best scores progress to Lower Bracket 3rd Round
    Lower Bracket :: 3rd Round :: 5 remaining best scores (along with Top Bracket 2nd Round losers) play their round and ... > best 2 scores go to lower bracket final
    Lower Bracket :: Final :: last 2 > best score is lower bracket winner
    ----- Please note that all tied placings will be resolved from scorecards, per standard WGT rules, final 9, final 6, final 3 holes, then 18th, 17th etc if still tied.

    Pairings
    Corwyn and I will do are darndest to make sure everyone is paired up time zone wise so there is no confusion in playing time.

    The first 3 rounds will be announced as soon as I see there is a interest in this tournament
    Round 4
    Will not be published until we get to the final week.

    Screenshots & Scorecards
    Each entrant must post 1 screenshot of the fairway & green from the final 4 holes (One from the fairway on any of the last holes and the same from the green) showing the Course Conditions, Uneven Lies & the Green Speed and last but not least the front and back nine scorecards.

    2 posting errors = 1 shot penalty
    3 posting errors = 2 shot penalty
    4 posting errors = DNF (did not finish)

    Good point. I forgot all Rounds are in practice mode and the first 3 rounds will be a  90 second shot clock , last round could be a whole different ballgame.

    18 holes is about an hour and a half give or take and that is with starter clubs.

    Shiner,

    You're talking match play with our best clubs and ball? I'll play regardless but just want to know which clubs will be in play this time.

    Shiner,

    Actually my friend it is not match play, the pairings are for a purpose. And what I mean by purpose is so that one player might if they want to help the other player as far shots are concerned and have a friendly chat along the way..

    I really didn't make myself clear about how this is going to work. 16 players in Round 1, the top 8 with the lowest score moves on to the second round. The same with all rounds to follow, lowest scores move on until we get a winner.

    Edit: As you can see I had to change some things since we now have more than 16 players. It is still lowest scores move on.
