(15 mins for each round in CTTH brackets)
CerinoDevoti:You really need to read every word before you enter and tee off.

For all brackets, the limited round time is only given in the description between "enter tournament" in the list and "confirm entry" for the individual tourney.
No mentioning at all in the tournament rules, and it's not(!) stated in the confirmation mail!
BTW, in the Bracket Tournament Rules, a special tie breaker rule is noted (last 9, last 6 holes, ...) Can't tell now if it is any different to the strokeplay rule in the FAQs.
I wondered how watchful a player must be to catch the beginning of the
second round, only 15 mins after all entries are completed. Looks difficult
since the latter may take any amount of time. Therefore, I entered a CTTH bracket as 6th, tournament started 76 mins later. No mail notice for that, only timely mails for each consecutive round.
Three of eight players scored in the second round, five WDs. These three played all their rounds to the final match. I was the lucky one with two free tickets due to the WDs.
From playing two speed brackets, I notice
a) stroke results of
closed rounds in unfinished tournaments are displayed in the score
history, CTTHs are not. They will only appear after the fourth round has
been finished.
b) The Bracket number of a running tournament is
available from the display in the game client but not from the result
list in the player's profile. There, replaced by a #.
c) In
the CTTH (#50230), the wrong player is displayed as the winner in the
top, though the flag colour correctly points to his final opponent (me) with the better score (206 vs. 228).
The odd items:
Said CTTH does not appear in the Bracket results page.
Apparently, "free" credits may not be used for the entry fee - only game wins and those bought by the player are mentioned.
Apparently 2, bracket tournaments are not tournaments as described in the FAQs.
Proof:
"Tournament" winnings count towards the career earnings (see FAQs), Bracket winnings do not AFAIK.
