There is countback even in brackets as I read the rules. So let's break this down:
1) In the event of a tie, the better scoring entrant between or among the tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest combined score for the final nine (9) holes of the Game.
2) If any ties remain, the better scoring entrant between or among the remaining tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest combined score for the final six (6) holes for such Game.
3) If any ties remain, the better scoring entrant between or among the remaining tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest combined score for the final three (3) holes for such Game.
4) If any ties remain, the better scoring entrant between or among the remaining tied entrants will be the entrant with the lowest score for the 18th hole (9th for nine hole games) in such Game, and any remaining ties will be determined by identifying the lowest scoring entrant for each individual game hole, in sequence from 17th (8th for nine hole games) through to 1st, as is necessary to determine a winner,
...now here is my argument with WGT...
5) and if any ties remain at that point, the earlier-submitted entry between or among the tied entries will be deemed the better scoring entry.
So point 5 clearly states that if two scorecards are an exact match...whomever submitted first is the winner. It cannot be any clearer. But WGT doesn't see it this way.
I'll give my case to you all and let you be the judge(s).
- Final round of a 4 round bracket...it's player (z) and me. It is a par 5 9 hole match.
- player (z) and I have tied. both have 35.
- i posted first and have proof of that, but first I had to check player(z's) history.
- I see that player (z) made an eagle on hole 13...well guess what, so did I.
- no other eagle was listed in player(z's) history for that BoP5 round. Same as I.
- It would be mathematically impossible for player (z) to have posted a 35 without birdies on 14-18, unless of course there was eagle to make up for a par(but see previous point). So both of us, birdied every hole except for the eagle on hole #13.
So you all tell me this... who wins 1st?
Why WGT cannot see their error is beyond me. But guess what WGT? I ani't thru with you yet. Yep, for a measly 300 or so credits(which don't even matter to me), I'm going to stay on you like white on rice.
Reason for my persistence:
1- if you screwed up on this match, guess how many more people you will piss off! It ain't about the credits.
2- someday I do hope to play in the high stake credit matches...and there, any mistakes by the program will definitely get players attention.
Just fix the darn game!
