Ready Go's - something isn't right

  Yes, I am fairly new to RG's, but I know one thing for certain, and that is one cannot see the leader board before the tournament has finished.

  So, two days ago I enter the Tour Master 200 credit Rg at ST Andrews and shoot a nice 62, all excited I click on the tourney from my score history this morning only to find myself in 1st position, whoopee I thought, twelve dollars.

  Lo and behold 12 hours later I find 700 credits in my account for second place.

  How come ?

  You can see the leaderboard once there is 50 participants. As for your 2nd place, some shot 60 in that tournament to beat you!

  Right, so there were 45 scores registered, and 4 WD's, that makes 49, yet I was able to see the leader board before the tourney closed.

  And like I say, I was in 1st spot, until this 60 comes along.

  I will re-phrase. You can view the leaderboard as soon as 50 people have signed up. So there was 1 left and he beat you.

  As bogey is stating if 50 people have registered to participate in the RG and YOU have played your round you can see the leaderboard. Maybe only 40 or 45 or 49 of those people have played.

  As soon as the 50th person signs up the 12 hour clock on stroke play and 3 hour clock on CTTH start.  The ready go ends and pays out when ALL 50 people have played or the 12/3 hour clock gets to 00:00

  Unfortunately for you the 50th person must have completed his/her round before the 12 hours ran out and he/she bested your score taking first place

  I have been on both sides of this. Its great when you do it and steal the diamond way, but sucks when you think you got it in the bag and someone swoops in and takes the #1 spot from you

  jsweetcr:

  if 50 people have registered to participate in the RG and YOU have played your round you can see the leaderboard.

  Even if you haven't played your round you can view the leaderboard as soon as 50 people have signed up. You can view them here:
