CC vs CC Event

  I do wonder at times if those at WGT have ever played Golf. WGT have made the Graphics as realistic as possible, BUT! have made the scoring as unrealistic as possible!   Levels and Tiers I can understand, BUT! where is the Handicap System?.  A Master playing a Tour Legend should have a 5 Stroke Handicapped advantage (As in real Golf).... It is obvious that WGT have never played Golf Club Competition.     For a Start, Entry Fee should be free, but a 10 Credit entry fee would be acceptable.     Club .v. Club should be 5, 10 or 20 Player Games, depending on Club size.    (Forget Passes + Super Passes).     Stableford System is fair if Handicapped!     A Club Challenge should be introduced whereas Old Duffers CC could Challenge The Peoples Club CC.    Have Bracket Style competition of 5, 10 or 20 Players Games.    Finally, only Club Captains or Officers should have the authority to organise Competitions. QPR CC have played 2 Matches so far it cost us a lot of Credits and it all seemed pointless.   QPR CC will now hold back to see what develops.    Thank you for your time.  QPR MICK.....

  im loving this concept and even more when the bugs are ironed out , but the 1 thing that is putting me off is there is no way u can compare the larger clubs to the smaller clubs and say its fair or it evens out the larger clubs with 200+ members yeah fair enough a heap might never play even if 1 3rd of that club play just once in each clash for the smaller clubs 20-30 members every member would have to play atleast 3 times in each clash just to kinda match them , and then do that at least 5 times in the event time frame , cmon no way smaller clubs will ever get a shot a winning an event cause at the end of the day thats the goal is to win that putter .

  my suggestion is to have that 1st prize for at least 3 member level and not on the cc level membership base it on actuall memberships say:

  40members and under - 1 level 

  41-100 members  - 2nd level 

  101 + 3rd level  and have a 1st prize for each .

  unless something along those lines are done i know ill let my members know not to really worry about it cause theres no way will ever compete for 1st .

  just 1 eg i started our 1st 1 about 30 min after it was running after i played 1 rnd the leading club had already near 700 points within 40 minuts of it starting ..:( 

  any way just my opinion , im coming up to my 5th year player this and still love and look forward to see what the next event brings :) 1 other thing is there any new course being added in the near future

  Sorry for the bugs and thanks for playing

  Rly?

  That is, yet again from a moderator, one of the most [I won't insert what I wish to type here] disingenuous comments you could make, given what you've pulled here.

  WGT owes every single player who participated in this swindle no less than 1000 credits. Just simply for it's blatant attempt to jam the coffers full of players credits. 

  Good luck trying to promote anything even resembling this again, you'd have to be dumber than a friggin' cigarette butt to think anyone will play, 'cept for the players who match said description.

  Siriis:

  One more bug. My CC has been locked out of the competition for the last 5 hours. We were 3-0 in clashes and then frozen out. I was hoping for a top 25 finish, but now we are in danger of being out of the top 100. Why can't we play when others are obviously playing??

  When you said that you were locked out of the competition, this is likely because one of your members did not begin a Clash in time. Per our FAQ: "In order to start a new Clash, there must be enough time remaining in the Event to complete a Clash. Time durations may vary from Event to Event."

  racoondad:

  Is it possible they're just playing best of putt using cc pass and get points by mistake?

  A couple people mentioned earlier they got "Clash" points while playing with a pass but not in a clash event. After seeing that, I'm sure it didn't take long to figure out which of the short courses worked best to artificially inflate scores by exploiting a programming glitch.

  Slojoeguam:

  It's in my post WGTadmin, Augusta National CC. PS - Upon further scrutiny, it looks like not all their players are playing best of putting, only the ones with the crazy high scores. So how can some members play one thing and other members of the same CC play another?

  I looked through a few players in that Club and did not see any scores from the Best of Putting. Can you send me a private message and provide the player names of those that played the Best of Putting? Also, how did you determine that these players were playing Best of Putting for the Clash and not just a regular game? Were you just looking at their Score History?

  Thank you very much for the help.

  Remember the first bracket tourneys? The glitches and thrown away rounds were such that after that one experience I just didn't want to go there again. So how are the brackets going now? I guess I'll never know.

  The CC Clash is shaping up to be another Brackets Debacle.
