Good morning! Pandora Season 4 finishes in a couple of weeks. Its proved very popular and has ridden the storm of TGC3 release, updates, patches etc to become a fun little society (across PC, PS4 and XB1) Pandora Season 5 will begin immediately afterwards (member base allowing). I'm hoping all involved in Pandora 4 will want to carry on, and would like to encourage more people to join, with a slightly adapted and improved structure. Starting on Monday 19th November, each week will consist of two rounds of golf, played on one 18 hole course, and one 9 hole course in two player teams. It's a round-robin tournament with each team playing every other team in rotation. The first round (18 hole) will run Mon -Thu, second round (9 hole) will run Fri-Sun. Same days every week.
For the 18 hole rounds, I will be taking highly ranked courses from the TGCT Database, so we get to play the best of what TGCT has to offer. For the 9 holes, there will be some fun courses, some challenging, maybe a couple of Par 3'ers. I will, as I did in Season 3 & 4, keep track of all scores on a custom viewable Excel sheet, so everyone can keep track of their scores and see league tables etc.
I should hopefully be able to farm all scores from the in-game leaderboards, which will mean not having to submit screenshots, but this will require all 3 society platforms to be running perfectly in tandem. The teams in Season 3 & 4 will be mixed up, based on scoring from Season 4 to produce a more even spread of skill level, leading to increased competition. So who's up for it? Names below please, we have just over a fortnight before it starts. Also, as I am always open to improvement, any ideas or suggestions to better Pandora, will be gladly accepted and considered. Already I have had a suggestion of a set of special Xmas rounds, to be played as an Open type competition. I will be looking for someone to setup and run the societies on PS4 and PC, while I take care of XB1. All scores will be taken care of by me if not able to farm scores, as above. *****************************************************************************
10th Nov...
1 more player and we have 11 teams. 3 more players would be amazing.
I will give until Friday 16th to gain more players, then close the gates. After that, teams will be built using data from Season 4 (scoring) and rankings from TGCT, as far as I can. I will 'attempt' to create even teams.
All will be communicated here, and the spreadsheet will be published.

Are there any play offs/finals for current season? Hope so.
Dave a couple of suggestions if I may....
All participants should be society based.
Set the wind and other conditions for each President to follow. i.e. all societies whether PS4/XB1/PC are all playing low ,high medium winds whatever.
This is the only way to ensure it's a level playing field for all.
I'm in.
Cheers

More difficult when it's spread across 3 platforms.

Excellent. And finals etc? Certainly considering it but not figured out how to do it yet. Maybe top 3 teams play a 36 hole challenge for team win?Any ideas?

Well my idea would be to have the top 4? top 6? top 8? whatever works best for no. of teams to play off in knockout rounds until a winner is decided.

Sign me up please mate. Great job on the current season too. Glad your making an 18 hole round. It's sometimes a struggle to get into a nine hole and if you mess up early it's squeaky bum hole time for the remainder of the round.

Dave, I’ll gladly play in Season 5, but I would need a replacement in mid January if the season extends that far. I’ll be away from home and my PS4 for about 2 months starting January 14. If that’s too much of a hassle, then I’ll just have to take a pass on Season 5 😟.

I think we will be done by then, and working on Season 6, so no worries. I have you all in the player list.
