Ok, I've instituted some changes to the tournament effective immediately.
Hacks:
Bad news. Due to the complete deflation of the hack field (we've lost about half of those who originally registered to the Amateur tier) I've changed the runner-up prize to a sleeve of balls instead of a shirt. The first place prize remains the same. There will only be 8 people who will qualify out of the mere 17 total that still remain. That probably won't change anymore as anything less than 8 people isn't a tournament.
Amateurs:
Good news. I've dropped the cut line to 36th place. This will accommodate a short 9-hole play-in round as the opening round of the match play portion of the tournament. This opens up 4 more spots in the final field for those looking to sneak in over the red line.
Also, I have ADDED a third place prize due to the increased number of folks participating. This is the feature tournament and deserved a 3rd place prize. There will be a 3rd place consolation match only in this tier.
No more in-thread leaderboards. That became too much of a PITA to maintain. Use the link to the spreadsheet on the first page.
That is all. Thank you for understanding and bearing with me while we all adjust to the changes here on WGT. Keep those qualifying scores coming in!!
