The TGC2 community is filled with great designers and extra fortunate to have people dedicated to celebrating those great designs through showcasing opportunities like course design contests. Griff has organized the CC Tour Summer Showdown 2017 and created a single-elimination bracket featuring 32 designers vying for the title of best course, so as further support of that effort, we'll be doing a community bracket challenge pool to add camaraderie and intrigue to the results!
This bracket challenge is a supplement to the work that the judges are doing by giving the TGC2 community at large the opportunity to predict which designer will take home the title, just like the way we pick a March Madness tournament winner each year. The goal of this pool is to encourage TGC2 golfers to play these fantastic new courses and take part in this fun community event by following along with the judging results to see if your favorite courses/designers can advance and ultimately win the bracket challenge!
Contest Rules: make your predictions based on which entrant will win each matchup and advance through the rounds. Your correct picks will earn points exponentially each round (1, 2, 4, 8...). The winner is the bracket with the most points, but if there is a tie, the tied players will play an 18-hole tournament round hosted by the winning course (if players still tie, a sudden death match play will be set up).
Eligibility: bracket predictions are accepted starting now, and will be open until September 6 @ 9:00am EST. First round judging results should start coming in about that time, and no more entries will be accepted once any matchup result is publicly known.
Prizes: CC Tour Summer Showdown 2017 organizer @griff will donate a trophy to put in your signature, and now that we have over 20 participants in the pool he has donated $50 cash to the winner (a $50 match will be added by VctryLnSprts if we get to 40+ verified participants)
How to Enter: go to challonge.com/SummerShowdown2017BracketChallenge and fill out the prediction form (no Challonge account should be required). You must fill out the form completely for your entry to be considered, which includes your tournament name (it would be wise to use your TGCT forum username so that I can credit you publicly if you win) and your email. Once the form is submitted you will show up in the Predictions area and your entry will be scored automatically once the tournament begins.
Please post any questions you have below and I'll be sure to answer them quickly. A huge thank you to @griff and the other judges who will spend countless hours reviewing all of these courses, and ultimately providing 32 individuals the feedback that they need to become even better designers, which benefits us ALL because we continue to get phenomenal new additions to the course library on a regular basis.
Now go book a tee time, check out these contest courses, and pick the designer you think will win each matchup! Good luck!
