    Received a lot of brackets ... should be a fun event! I will work on putting together a leaderboard today.

    Why does it appear that round 1 expires at 5:30 pm EST. Shouldn’t it be 11:59?

    Yeah, it snuck up on me when I logged in this morning and saw that it would end while I was at work, lol. So, I skipped my normal morning routine and played it real quick.

    Hi Doug,

                   They must have realised their error as there is now 12 hour's 35 min's remaining

    don't play many brackets, but while following this event I checked the scores on the mobile platform and typically I understand scores are hidden to your opponents until after you have played your round...

    but either this event or all brackets on the mobile platform show this information before you have played your round if you opponent has already played.. 

    in a few of these matches... seems knowing you have a target score to beat can reduce the pressure to post your best round.... don't believe desktop players can access those scores unless they jump onto a mobile platform...

    guess it can go both ways though, post a low number and it adds pressure to your opponent or they may save ball hits and just WD if they find they can't make up the strokes.  either way, it may undermine how it was designed to be played.

    seems like grounds to play this round under protest if you didn’t shoot 52:)

    Yea i logged in this morning before work to see i had 10 hours to post round 1.  So at 6 am i played my round while getting ready for work.  Was able to scratch out a 59 in a speed golf round so i wouldnt be late to work.  Get home to see somehow 10 hours still left in the round.  Wgt said sorry though so that makes it all better.
