More information for interested peeps.
All money put into the site will go directly to prizes and earnings. If everything were to work out the point earnings winner could make out with well over a grand in prizes for only 60 dollars worth of spending. Anything from trophies to gift cards to golf equipment to wgt gifts. I want this to be a site that the members get the say in what happens. I wouldn't compete in the tourneys myself. I would only manage and run the operations. That is something I enjoy doing anyway.
Owner? Myself and possibly one other.
Site look and feel? A mix between PGA.com and gatewaytour.com
Security? Everything will be password protected. Members will have log-ins matching the name of the WGT profile they have created. All gifts will be certified and when someone does win they will recieve e-mail verification of what they have won. Prizes will be certified. Payements will all go through pay-pal which has credit and debit card verification which is useful if refund is requested.
Tournaments?
18 hole four day tournaments will run through the country club format on wgt and the results will be copied into the site.
Alt shot tournaments where people can pick any partner or be given one and play in alt shot tournaments in a bracket style throughout the year.
Match play tournaments in bracket format as well. All matches will be monitored through shared games to confirm wins and losses.
4 major championships will be established which players will have to qualify for if they don't have the points.
If it gets crowded it will be broken up into 3 divisions
Depending on how you do in a year you will be moved up or down a division to get more consistent competition in each bracket. Obviously the lesser of the brackets does not earn as much prize money.
Ryder Cup at the end of the year with the players best in the standings teaming up in a ryder cup competition that includes stokeplay, match play, and alt shot.
And any other ideas anyone might have.
All the money will go towards the site and as prizes for winning members.
Games will be played through wgt and transported into the site. Each member will have their own page with their own message board to talk directly to myself... This will all be private. There will also be message boards to talk as a community and discuss changes and things "you" the players would want.
This is not to make money. I just want to push this game one step further and make it more competitive then it already is.
Any sort of input would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and I don't have a name for it yet. This idea just came to me a week ago. I just want people opinions on the idea.
In addition.... The $5-10 is only to compete in the months tournaments towards points... If you want to be a non-competitive member then you don't have to pay anything. And if you are going to miss a month you don't have to pay for that month either. So basically you only pay when you want to play in the torunaments. People that pay for the entire year would get a nice discount. Just all ideas right now though gents...
Really would like your input in the matter.
