An MP event would be great, Eric! Anyone up for organizing it?
WGTicon:Hey guys
I'll let mr shoe comment when he has a chance, since I do not set these up. I can't be sure if all will happen but I hope so.

No word yet from Mr Shoe... but it's nice to see one of our missing courses, St. Andrews, in use this week. That just leaves Congressional as the only course not yet used in the rotation for these weekly UEL single-play tourneys.
It would be great to know if it will be possible to set up the following 12 weeks as a full rotation.
FYI everyone: the scores from the wk10 Best of Hardest tourney, which concluded last night, are now posted in the spreadsheet. fmagnets' very impressive 59, a score achieved with the added pressure of dodgy meter while recording Bandicam, held up till the last day when pipped by a super 57 by FairwayRuepel68. Well done Mark! Legend tier saw two great 61s (in heavier wind conditions) from nonstoptaxi and STIGNottm.
I've heard that some players can't access the new Google Sheets properly, so I'll try and find time to post snapshots of the top part of several of the standings.
fmagnets: Because I thought Corwyn would probably enjoy it, I recorded this week's UEL BoH round in 4 real time Bandicam vids and posted them in my profile. Apologies for the dodgy ball striking!!
Hey Mags! Thank you so much for this... I did enjoy watching your vids. You made it all look so easy (which it certainly wasn't for me this week, lol!).
It really is incredibly helpful to anyone new to UEL to see all the adjustments you were making for the lies (although stunning to me that you do it all without even making use of zoom views).
bhoese: Also, Corwyn is having trouble arriving at a fair way to merge the leaderboards of different tiers. Could we get identical conditions for Legends and Tour Legends in the UEL weeklies?
Ben, I've been thinking about your suggestion here, and wondering if identical conditions really is ideal or not... ? One standard feature about the Free weekly tourneys is that they seem to always offer the green speed of your own tier, and I suspect that's part of the appeal. If we mixed that up, would it risk some players in either tier being less willing to give UEL a try?
Also, if we asked Legends to play these tourneys in Champ speeds that would give a big advantage to TLs who are so much more used to the speed. And, vice versa, would it not penalize TLs to force them to play in Tourney speed ... or are they more likely to play a wider range of green speeds since they're probably our most active players anyway?
In some ways, the current setup, with TLs having the faster green speed, while Ls have the (slightly) heavier wind conditions, may be best all around.
It's a fascinating topic, though, and I'd love to hear other people's thoughts...
