Scoresheet
Hello to all
Pandora is a team-based tournament with an emphasis on using the best courses we can find, and keeping it all fun. A bit of banter is good. Teams are 'averaged' out to the best of my ability using given handicaps and historic data, so that every team has a chance of winning every week. Its a round robin tournament, where every team plays every other team at least once.
This is the thread to post your intent to play in Season 8 of Pandora. This will be a long season, so strap in...I need to freshen it up!
Season 7 contained 20 rounds of golf over 10 weeks.
Season 8 will contain 50 rounds of golf on 50 courses over 25 weeks ending on Valentines Day 2020
This will take in Xmas and New Year so plans are underway to accommodate this time.
A few rules.
1. All players must play two rounds a week and post their scoreboard screenshot in this thread before the start of the next round. 2. Players may play one another live or as ghosts, and post joint scorecards. 3. Should a player NOT play a round, and NOT post a scorecard, this will count as a 'strike'. 3 Strikes and you're out. 4. Should a player have a planned holiday, their partner can play their round for them, should they wish. If not, they score nothing that round. 5. Scores will be updated by me, onto a spreadsheet which I will make clearly available to you all to view before the start date. 6. All rounds will be played on Handicap rated courses with handicap settings in play. This should even the field a little more.
Rounds run from Mon 8am GMT - Fri 8am GMT, then Fri 8am GMT - Mon 8am GMT.
Rounds must be played in Society ONLY. Players MUST join the society for their platform. The societies, which will be on each platform, will be called Pandora Season 8. The Pandora season 7 societies shall be deleted at the end of the season.
So what I need from you...
Name Gamertag Platform Current in-game handicap Suggestions for improvements
It would be ideal if your forum name matched your Gamertag for tracking purposes.
Now, I am open for suggestions, and I may take some on board. To give an idea of where I currently am (thought process). A mix up of how we play the rounds Handicaps Number of rounds a week lasting a week 1 course for two rounds or two courses for one round lasting a week Beginner / Pro / Masters leagues
Opening up the scoresheet for everyone to enter their own scores (dangerous ) Fun courses Silly courses Extreme courses 9 hole courses
Come on!! Throw your opinions in, lets make this a collaborative effort If you'd rather PM me, do that!! I will publish all ideas mid-August and with my fellow Society owners, come up with a good, fun format.
I think most people like Pandora as it is, but lets hear those suggestions!

Name:Ben Reilly Gamertag: BENNY6676 Platform: XBOX Current in-game handicap: +30.1 Suggestions for improvements:The HCP system on this game is seriously flawed unfortunately and would probably not go down well. I played one a few weeks ago and shot -14 (+1) with HCP. Anyone with a low HCP could potentially be giving people 10 to 15 strokes every round. I personally think that's a little too much? It would make more sense balancing the teams more to make them fair? Skilled players with the less skilled players?

I'm in again, if you'll have me. I'm with Benny. Rank everybody 1 to 36 or whatever based on skill. Rank 1 with 36, 2 with 35 etc.. just my 2 cents

Current in-game handicap: +13.9
TGCTour: CC-G
Suggestions for improvements: Setting up a discord for the league would be easier and more organized then using forum for everything. Might help with team pairings to use tgc league or golf ranking. and use handicap as a factor as well if they dont have a long tgc history. some people just play easy courses or settings when playing non society and can really cause HCP to not be a valid indicator of skill comparison.

Currently I use handicaps sent by all players based on in-game figures and Pandora scoring history. We also have to remember this is meant to be fun, so if a team is poorly balanced, so be it

Thanks For clarity, I will be pairing people based on scores alone and wont be tailoring teams to fit players requests, unless of course the pairing yields a comparative handicap even with the rest of the field. A long way of saying....we'll see.

Dave, I understand completely your desire and need to fairly balance all of the teams. I wouldn’t expect anything otherwise. However, my principal reason for participating in Pandora is that it is cross platform and thus allows me the possibility of playing as a partner with my son. If that doesn’t work out in Pandora 8 based upon the handicaps, then you can scratch me and my son from the event. I would just kindly ask that you let me know as soon as you are able if we can’t be partnered. Thanks.

Understand. Lets see how it pans out. couple of months to go yet. For example, we already have 1 new player so we have no history for him. Could be that he is an absolute master and if I pair him incorrectly we could have a runaway team. The flip could also happen of course.
