  YankeeJim:

  Now that's the way to do it! Should be fairly easy to administer right off the LB PLUS with all those R1s running about the long drive should be fun.  

  Good on you, Shoe.  :-)

  On that CTTH-are you talking about a shot during the single play round?

  The CTTH will be on one specific hole on the course just like the Long Drive.  So it could be long drive on Hole # 4 and CTTH on Hole #12.

  Just my thoughts here folks. If the uneven lies tournament is crucial to the overall winning chances, then i would have to ask to leave them out. There are those of us who wouldnt go near them, and the advantage goes to those who do play them straight away.

  I think i have tried uneven lies about 3 times since they came out, and i absolutely hate them. I wouldnt know where to start, or wouldnt have a chance of doing well.

  Dont shoot me folks, but those of us who dont play them havent got a chance.

  Very good point.  I think for these 4 weeks they will be left out and if the interest is there, a separate 4 week uneven lies can be run down the road.

  The interest is most definitely there!

  I concur with many of the previous posters who believe that uneven lies should be a separate event series, its own Tour (and please, let us not wait too long for it!).

  Note that many players have commented in other threads that one of the advantages of Uneven Lies is that it's all about 'feel', rather than science, and that that's a factor in making uneven lies events less vulnerable to 'cheat systems'.

  For this reason, and the fact that the addition of Uneven Lies makes for the toughest test that WGT can offer, I hope that we see the introduction of a dedicated Tour series with UEL as soon as possible.

  That said, congratulations Shoe, on responding so admirably to the community desire for this kind of an event. I hope this pilot goes well!

  This is why I wanted player feedback.  This is really for all of you so won't put anything in that most players don't want.

  UL not for me...

  I agree with Corwyn. I enjoy playing UEL and hope there will be seperate UEL tournaments. 

  Thank you WGTdbloshoe for setting up this tournament. Sounds like a lot of fun.

  OUTSTANDING !!!  ..

  WGT--- NATION RULES  !!! 

  im with the majority an see ya gunna leve the UL out this 1st thingy....cool

  but ..............................  i do like uneven lies...  even tho i rarely play em....  

  a separate turny with UL would be fine..i will play it also if ..ONLY 4 weeks...

  BUT ............... 

  say if it goes to .a season like thing or 10 weeks or a true series ... UL .. SHOULD be included .... if to determine the most versatile and dedicated to practice champ.. IMO . 

  ROCK ON ... !!                        This turny gunna scare ALL the precious AVG protector's away ...lol

  ^ this is why I think Uneven Lies should be included now. The Dart game is always the same. With UL it takes intuitive game play, strategy, and course management that actually has to be practiced. If UL isn't included it's just another dart game by the players with the R11's and Nike balls.

  I suppose a separate UL Tourney of this kind would be nice but I'm kind of tired of being one of the players that plays "the other game". I'd really like to see WGT embrace the UL to a much higher degree and in turn, encourage the members to play it more often.

  Hi C D, I agree that anything that makes the game more of a challenge, especially in the upper tiers, is good for the game.     A while back, I entered a C.C, tourney not realizing it was uneven lies. I did o. k. for the first couple of holes by just using common sense about having the ball above or below my feet, from having played the game in real life.      But about the third or fourth hole, I had a short wedge shot into the green.       The balls lie was above the avatars feet but nothing drastic.    I had a 10 mph left to right wind, not much but enough to factor into the shot.       I aimed 10- 12 yds. right of the pin. I intended to hit ding, but missed on the down wind side, which means I missed to the right of ding.       The ball ended up pin high, 20 yds left of the hole.                     I will practice to learn where to aim under certain lies, so that I can participate in any up coming UL rounds or tourneys, but it would be nice if WGT made uneven lies , a bit more realistic.       Thank you, pete.

  No uneven lies for me either, although if they are going to be included in any further comps of this nature then I would be up for practising on uneven lies.Also a call to make them separate and also a call for a challenge too

  but not now shoe :)
