     Did you require an entry fee? If the tourny has any kind of credit payout, there are a lot of countries that aren't eligible, just like in premium tournaments.

    This confused me at first also. It is misleading because on the leader board page of the tourney it states that all country club tourneys are open to residents of all countries. Yet, when you look at the tournament rules page, it says:

    COUNTRY CLUB TOURNAMENTS

    WORLD GOLF TOUR ("WGT") may sponsor and give you as an "Organizer" the opportunity to set up certain in-game skill based tournaments ("Tournaments"). Organizers may invite individuals from their WGT-based Country Club to participate in a Tournament, but only individuals meeting the eligibility requirements below may actually enter a Tournament and earn WGT Credits in a Tournament ("Entrant(s)").

    Eligibility Requirements: Tournaments are open to individual Organizers and Entrants who are 18 years of age or older or the age of majority in the entrant's state or province/territory of residence, whichever is greater. WGT at its sole discretion may limit the number of Entrants who may enter a Tournament.

    To set up a Tournament as an Organizer or to participate in a Tournament as an Entrant, you must be a resident of  (a) the United States but excluding residents of: Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, or Vermont, or be subject to the laws of one of those states (b) any other jurisdiction that WGT excludes in its sole discretion. Residents of Brazil, Argentina, the People's Republic of China, South Korea, and Japan are also excluded and cannot be an Organizer or an Entrant.

    Employees, officers, and directors of WGT and its affiliated entities, parent, subsidiaries, advertising, promotional agencies, legal advisors, their immediate family members and persons living in their same household, are not eligible to be an Organizer or enter participate as an Entrant in Tournament. Void where restricted, taxed or prohibited by law.
