Honesty time : How do we think Pandora Season 8 is progressing? Anything you would change or like to see added / removed / changed? Honestly liking all the new rules so far seems to work out smoother and the average scoring really makes it more of a team game i feel instead of total score, which is nice. The only thing i see that needs some adjusting possibly is when a person doesnt end up playing on a team and if its the better player of the 2 that plays then the team playing against them is at a high disadvantage bc you have to calculate the average score. although i know it sucks and that guy cant control whether his teammate plays or not it still puts him at a big advantage bc of it. so maybe if the person who doesnt play that week auto gets the average of the lowest scores from the other teams that week it would kinda make it even and doesnt really put the player who is missing a teammate that week at a disadvantage or advantage but evens the playing field for there opponent that week? something like that its the only thing i could think of to make it even and not advantage either team. i only noticed this bc it happened to us a couple rounds ago where our opponent got -11 and his teammate didnt play so his average stays -11 and our scores were -13 and -7 so our average was -10 so we lost bc he doesnt have his lower handicap player on the team to average his out lower. So even though we had the lowest score out of the whole league that week and the 2nd lowest score for the low handicap players on each team that week we still lose bc there score doesnt average out with a teammates. if that makes since if not i can elaborate some more. Maybe also if a person on there team gets there three strikes and gets the boot from the league or even if someone says they had something come up and cant play the season anymore since this is going to be a long season compared to the past keeping teams even the whole time is gonna be damn near impossible when we just take alternates who ask to be. how about you give there teammate thats still playing the job of finding his replacement. the only rule is they have to replace him with someone with the same handicap or within + or - 4 or 5 of there teammate that quits handicap. that way the teams still stay even and they get a teammate and do all the work in filling the spot. so it doesnt take anytime for you but just to verify that the player he is replacing him with is of the same skill level handicap of who he is replacing. i mean im sure if the person who is looking for a teammate to replace him even if he doesnt know anyone that plays they can post in the tgc forums asking for someone with said handicap or close that would want to play they would have no problem finding plenty of willing people to choose from. But really nothing bad to say about the new system it seems to be running well those are just my thoughts on some areas i have noticed is all, let me know what ya think. the solutions are just things i thought would be the fairest and best i could come up with for a fix, obviously there might even be a better way but thought i would throw my suggestions out there as something that could work or give a starting point where you can use to adjust to what you think would be best if you chose to implement anything regarding them. thanks for doing what you do man. this is def my favorite society to play i love the team style setup.

Good of you all to contribute with ideas and continued playing! I think the 'single player in a round gaining an advantage' is something I can look into. Maybe a penalty of the other player scoring 0. Currently a -17 score and a non player scores -17. If I score a 0 for a non player, that average becomes -8.5.
Anyone NOT want to do that???
I will make the change for the next round if all accepting.

maybe on average of all the scores that way if the player that misses is the better of the 2 then it still gives him a solid score to average with?

i feel if you put 0 for the guy that misses really puts that guy whos the single at the disadvantage and makes it highly unlikely he even has a chance but that really depends i guess on how rough the course was that week lol we all know we see those weeks where anything under par is above average hahaha. so like i said im down for anything everyone else thinks is fair

It goes both ways. A-17 at the moment with a player not playing is an advantage that can be exploited. Having the 0 means both players have to play, or even if someone is missing for a week or so on holiday etc, then their partner plays two rounds.

Seeing I'm guilty of playing but not posting my scores it's a -9 for this rd It makes life easier for Dave using the society but not having to post scores means that I leave it awhile then when I think about posting a score the next rd has started and then it's to late.

Noone is stopping you posting your score If posting helps you remember to play, then please remember.
I feel it working okay, I like posting all the leaderboards in one post for all to see at the same time and yes it makes it easier for me to populate the scoreboard sheet all at once.
Thanks for all your continued support

Not our oppos fault of course but did seem tough.....Not on me though ;-)

Right, so we are all clear.
Both players in a team must play every round. Should a player not be able to play, he should first contact myself, and then his partner. His partner should then play TWO rounds that week. One through society, one through settings on scoresheet located on Post 1 of this forum. Second round played out of society must be screenshot and posted in this forum, tagging me in the post.
Should, for whatever reason, the player not be able to play two rounds that week, but submits one round, or the second player does not make contact or play, they will score a '0' for that round.
This means the average will be half of the first players score. As an example :
Ideal with both players playing Player 1 : -9 Player 2 : -3 Average : -6
with only one playing Player 1 : -9 Player 2 : 0 Average : -4.5
Ideal with both players playing Player 1 : -9 Player 2 : -3 Average : -6
with only one playing Player 1 : 0 Player 2 : -3 Average : -1.5
As you can see, it can make a stark difference to the team score, and is fair across the board.
This rule starts on this round, starting today.
Thanks guys
