I have seen a number of golf style tournaments out there. Some with skins, some as match play, some stroke play. But I have not yet seen one with a true 4 rounds of play. This tourney is designed to bring you an exciting 4 rounds of golf-style, stroke-play, complete with a player cut after 2 days/rounds.
Be forewarned, there will be lots of games to play for people in this tourney. The eventual winner will play a minimum of 72 games.
I have designed a Par 71 course with 18 different maps, and this tourney is for 36 players, and up to 4 reserves. Players will be put into 4-player match-ups for each of the rounds. Initial match-ups will be be determined using random.org. I chose all the maps for the course then used random.org 18 times to provide the course layout.
Par 3's will be using smaller maps, Par 4's with mid-size, and par 5's with larger scale maps.
Each round players will play all 18 "holes". Therefore, you will be sent 18 games each round. Yes I know 18 games per round. Sounds like a lot. But for those of you who play multiple games, like I do, think of it as an opportunity to get to really see how some of your opponents handle the different maps by playing them multiple times. Remember though, it is only 4 rounds with a sudden death playoff if needed. The players who make it throgh to rounds 3 and 4 will end up playing a total of 72 or more games.
Since these will be 4 player games rather than 1 on 1 match-ups, scoring will vary depending on the Par of each hole, and is determined by your place of finish in the hole, rather than by number of rounds. 1st place wins the best score, while last place the lowest for each hole.
Player matchups vary each round, but do not necessarily follow how players are paired in real golf games. This adds a definitive challenge to the overall tourney.
At this point, eliminations will begin. For individuals who have an over par score, you will most likely be automatically eliminated. (Unless we have a majority of over par scores). There will also be players cut determined based on overall scores. Some individuals who have a negative par may be eliminated. There will be 16 or 20 individuals to continue to rounds 3 and 4. If multiple people would create more than 20, a tiebreaker game will be played to determine who moves forward.
One question winning on a par 5 is -3? or should it be -2. getting a hole one on a par 5 is impossible but getting a double eagle is like getting a hole in one on a par3/4. Just wondering if it was a typo or thats what you planned it to be. Either way still in please.

I have you in blindman30.
To answer your question. Yes I meant for the -3 on the par 5's out there. I realize that a hole in one on a par 5 is pretty impossible in real golf, but there have been double eagles on par 5's. Not very often, but it has happened. I just feel that the par 5 games should be the most challenging for players, and therefore the winner be rewarded with a very good score. There are also only 5 of them on the course, so it makes it extra challenging to those other holes to basically try to whollop the par 5 winners on those holes.
I am hoping to make it a challenging tourney, where ideally... there is not a runaway winner, but hey, ya just never know.
side, such as deadbeating in a different tourney.
