  Whether in WGT or club tournaments, the players are always posted in "tiebreaker" order.

  Thank you...I never knew this before.  Being listed in "Tiebreaker Order" is all I needed to know.  Thanks again for enlightening me!

  I bombed out in round 3 because the putter took the day off (or maybe the idiot using it).

  I know this is a work in progress so a couple of thoughts.

  1.  I heard the word unlimited mentioned somewhere above.  No unlimited rounds.  One chance in this kind of contest to play each round.

  2.  Tees:  1 of those things that can vary.  I get that default tees should be used to help lower tier players.

  3.  No crazy green speeds, which was also mentioned above.

  4.  My preference would be to keep it at 4 rounds.

  On the timing, lol.  I actually went to be normally.  Woke up in morning and tried to enter this tournament at 7:45 AM EDT (4:45 Pacific) and was quite shocked I got in.  That probably won't work next time.  But WGTChamp said 24 hours to play so I spent usual day and did not play until early evening.

  Thanks for a really fun tournament, Champ! Loved the mix of bracket/stroke play format and the tough conditions in each round. 

  Not the best 4th round for me, struggled with my putting again, but at least kept it in the 50s which is nice for morale but won't be good enough to beat my fellow club members :)

  Thanks Champ, mixing up tees is fun. Shot of the tournament for me was at 29m30s in this video. Hit the wrong side of the mound with the drive and ended up deep in the hay. Only one way to get close from there and keep a good chance of posting a leading score....

  I watched that this morning, I thought landing on the down slope with those green speeds and unlikely to hold the green a par save would have been nice... WTH do I know... it is mags after all.  Great shot, but I got to hope it was even a bit lucky for you because if your that good... there is no hope for the rest of us mere mortals : )    I would have bet credits you wouldn't have a birdie putt, that is how tough I thought the shot was.  But, then again, it is one of many very creative and well thought out shots I have watched you play.
