Will you be starting a new thread for the new season? I doubt it. He's used the same thread for 3 seasons now. Let's see how many pages we can rack up. Jason is very reserved about creating a new one.

Welcome to season 4 of the non-society, cross platform 24K Gold Team Tournament, which will begin on Monday, May 20th 2019. There will be 56 players divided into 28 teams of 2. The teams will be split into two leagues: The Golden Bear League (14 teams; top 8 teams qualify for the playoffs) and the Shark League (14 teams; top 8 teams qualify for the playoffs). Each team will play a total of 9 matches against the other teams in their league. (Not every team is guaranteed to play each other in their respective league/divisions). At the end of the regular season, the top 16 teams (8 per league) will make the playoffs with the winners of each league eventually meeting in the Championship Final. All matches will be played over 36 holes of stroke play (One course, two different pre-selected tees/pin sets and required settings specified each week) with teammates scores being combined. The lowest scoring team will receive 10 points. Both teams will receive 5 points each in the event of a tie.
Also during season 4, I bring a return to the extremely popular individual tournament which will run alongside the team tournament. The top 6 individual two round scores each week will receive points. The player with the best individual two round score will receive 100 points, 2nd best will get 90 points, and so on down until the 6th best score, which receives 50 points. After this, there will be a "range" of scores that will receive 40 points, 30 points, all the way down to 10 points. All players points will be added up throughout the season and at the end of the regular season the top 32 players with the most points will make the playoffs. Matchups and seeding will be determined at a later date. Course venues will be determined in the future. This season long tournament will be known as the Aluminum Cup Series.
Standings/matchups/ACS points leaders/etc will be updated every MONDAY MORNING as a continuation of this ongoing thread (EST, usually by 11AM or so) so rounds will be able to be played at some point on MONDAY AFTERNOON to LATE SUNDAY NIGHT (scores must be submitted by 11PM Eastern Standard Time). Sometimes I may get scoring updated earlier. Long story short, if you see the match-ups and venue posted on Monday, you’re free to begin for the week.
Please take a moment to read the subsequent posts which will have the score submission template language/screenshot requirements, rules and team assignments. Week 1 matchups will be posted in this thread on Monday morning, May 20th 2019.

TOURNAMENT RULES/ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS (Will be updated the more I think of them):
1) NEW RULES: Those players currently on Pro Tours (PGA, Euro or Web) MUST be using Master Clubs. Those who are on the CC Tours were given the option at registration as to which club set (Master or Pro) they will be using. Please use the club set you informed me you'd be using. Any questions, feel free to direct message me. Those players who chose to play with Beginner Clubs are not eligible for points counting towards the Aluminium Cup Series individual tournament. Missing more than TWO weeks of the regular season automatically disqualifies you from the ACS tournament at the end of the season.
2) Have fun, dammit because you know what? This is a fun tournament.
3) Be loyal to your teammate and this tournament. Communicate with your teammate. Respect that there are varying levels of talent in this tournament. Teams have been selected to the best of my ability in order to provide opportunity for every team to excel at some point during the season. Many Pro level players have been teamed with more intermediate players in order to try and balance the competition as much as possible. There will be great teams and not so great teams. Enjoy the competitive, yet fun nature of this tournament.
4) PLEASE follow the posting guidelines I’ve set up. It will make my life easier and will make the single thread format flow better. It is also easier for other players to follow the thread/score submissions, etc.
5) Please adhere to the TGCT rules of putting, specifically no chipping on the greens (less than 100 feet) and chipping allowed if over 100 feet or a fringe obstruction.
6) Practice rounds MAY be played (no need to change to Stableford scoring), on any tee but must use the pin locations I will indicate at the beginning of each week.
7) This is a gentleman's sport and I ask you to adhere to gentleman's rules. No starting over a round, modifying course conditions to make more favorable, etc. I will not be issuing reminders for those who haven't submitted scores. We're all adults and should know what a deadline is. That score deadline is upheld. For any extenuating circumstances, please direct message me and we will certainly discuss!
8) We have numerous alternate players at this time (I may also play as an alternate too in the event I can't secure another alternate). If you're not able to play your rounds, I recommend that you direct message me, along with your teammate, well in advance of the score submission deadline. I'll then send out messages to our alternates and check for availability. (Alternate must play BOTH rounds, can’t be “split”) Alternate may only play rounds ONE TIME for any given team for each week. First come, first served. If the alternate isn’t available for one team, he shouldn’t be available for another team.
9) Constructive criticism of a course within the thread is more than acceptable, I just ask that you explain why. Same goes with compliments. Tell us all why. It’s great feedback. Critique of the designer, outside of the level of constructive, or constant complaints about my choice of courses will not be tolerated and discussion will occur via direct message. Critique of a teammate will not be tolerated. Any issues or concerns will be discussed with me via direct message.

FORMAT FOR POSTING SCORES:
ALWAYS REMEMBER: Take a screenshot of your scorecard at the end of EACH round. You can play a round on one night and then another round a few days later, as long as the scores are submitted each Sunday night by 11pm EST. Save both of your pictures and then upload as ONE POST.
Please do not "hold" score submissions. Once you've played your two rounds, upload your screenshots as soon as possible. No excuses if you "forget" to submit scores by deadline, even if the rounds were played.
Scores for BOTH ROUNDS (including screenshots) should be posted at ONE TIME (reduces the amount of time I need to search for/follow team scores). For those of you who choose to play your own ghost and then submit scores as one screenshot, I'm okay with this method too).
Please follow this template submission below: Copy and paste it somewhere, if that helps.
Week X
Team X (vs team X)
First and Last Name
Round 1 (tee + pin #) score
Round 2 (tee+ pin #) score
Total for both rounds: score
Screenshots for both rounds will go below the information posted above. Following in this order will make it very easy for me, as well as the rest of the group to follow score submissions. Also, I'm verifying each post to make sure the correct tees and pins have been played, in the correct order. Feel free to discuss your rounds after all of this information has been posted first and foremost.

Frequently Asked Questions/Answers:
Question: How do I find the society for 24K? Answer: There is no society to search for. This is an offline, non-society tournament I run and keep track of everything in this thread.
Question: How do I find the course venue selected each week? Answer: At your TGC menu, choose "local play" and then search for the course. Change settings/tee/pinset per each round that is specified.
Question: Do we have to play at the same time as our teammate, is this match play, etc? Answer: No. This is a team based tournament, but played on your OWN time, within the score submission window. You're free to play a round on say, a Tuesday night (don't forget to take the picture of your scorecard!) and then another round on say, Friday night. You'll then upload BOTH screenshots to this submission thread, utilizing the template information I ask for.
Question: How do you know everyone is choosing the settings you've requested? Answer: I don't. Here's my favorite phrase. If there are people in 24K who feel the need to not follow the prescribed settings each week in order to gain advantage in a COMMUNITY tournament, I can't help them in life, nor can God Gentleman's Game.........Gentleman's Rules to be followed.
Question: I can't play one of my regular season weeks. What do I do? Answer: Send me a direct message, make sure your teammate is aware of this too, and I'll do my best to find an alternate player for the week. Letting me know ONE DAY before deadline will not help. Please let me know ASAP early on in the week and I'll try my best to find a replacement.
Question: Why are you always so "reserved" with posts that occur late Sunday night or early Monday Morning: Answer: Late every Sunday night (Eastern Standard Time), I create posts and name them "reserved" and I then go back and update them with final scores, team standings, ACS leaders, the following weeks course venue, etc on Monday morning. This allows all of the important information to stay together in the thread each week.
Question: May I upload YouTube clips, hole highlights, screenshots, etc? Answer: Absolutely! Just add them right after you upload your screenshots for the week. We all like seeing the great shots!
Question: How do I upload screenshots? Answer: Many people do it in a variety of ways: Twitter, Xbox DVR, Imgur, Tapatalk, or whatever mode PlayStation allows you to do it. As long as I'm only reviewing ONE post with both your scores, I'm fine with any way you get the screenshots there.
