Spirit of the game doesn't really hold much weight when it's a videogame. It's not actual golf, no matter how much many seem to want it to be. People will play, post scores whenever they want. It's all within the rules and there it is.

2 funny by that logic the site should have the deadline to post all 4 scores 2 minutes after the tournament opens

Well, if someone's deliberately waiting to post their scores, that's pretty douchenozzle-like.
If you played your four rounds, put the damn scores in when you're done.
There's really no valid reason not to do it when you're done with round 4.

I'm leading by 4 right now, but one of the guys behind me has only played 1 round...
Hope he's not a watcher... lol

My gripe is with the people who blatantly go against the spirit of this game and do things you couldn't get away with in real life. Bold statement. Are there players who do this week in week out? |

My gripe is with the people who blatantly go against the spirit of this game and do things you couldn't get away with in real life. Bold statement. Are there players who do this week in week out? It's pretty much the same people every week. And it's so easy to check. I won't name names here but if you pull up their history, you'll see stuff like January 1 - T35th January 8 - T 42nd January 22 - 53rd February 5 - 39th February 19 - T46th Where are all the MCs in between? Why is it all these weeks they just decided NOT to play and yet never an MC? Some guys will miss 3 or 4 week straight and them come back with a top 25. Like I said, it's easy enough to check. Just look for the guys with no MCs but a lot of missing weeks. Then check my history. Lots of MCs and lots of weeks I made it and even did well. And I'm not talking about guys who will miss a tourney once in a while. We all do. Well, almost all of us. Even I missed a week in Web because of an exemption to the PGA. But guys who miss tons of weeks but never get an MC? That to me is very suspicious. Now, can I absolutely prove 100% that this is exactly what's happening? No, of course not. Which is why these people can get away with it. You can't prove intent. They can simply say "Hey, I didn't feel like playing that week." No way to prove they're lying. But you know the old saying. if it walks like a duck. Anyway, I'm over all this. Don't really give a crap anymore. In fact, Scott or whoever can lock this, delete it or send it to the moon for all I care. I'm just gonna go out each week, play my golf, and then return to the real world where I have important things to do. |

A lot of my weeks don't have MC wags, purely because I can't play every tourney. Bit of a leap to what you're claiming.

Gotta defend wags here. This is just something he wanted to bring up. Is he necessarily right? No. Is he necessarily wrong? Also no. A lot of people (including myself) agree with him, while there are a lot who disagree.
And wags is not always bitter about something... there's so many people here that the slightest little joke will set them off. He's not even the one who turned it into an argument. If I was upset by someone who waits to post, I'd do the same thing. It's just to see what other people think about it, not "my opinion is more important than yours."

What happens if you play the event on a Saturday or Sunday, when you haven't registered? For example: Scenario 1 - Fred plays in the Euro Tour event on Saturday, even though he hasn't registered. He blows up on the back nine on R2 and finished 3 under for 2 rounds. He knows he wont make the cut, so he doesn't bother to register. Is this applicable? Scenario 2 - Fred plays the following week, in the Euro Tour event, on Saturday, even though he hasn't registered. He shoots a reasonable score, but isn't sure it will make the cut or not, so he waits until Thursday night, before realising his score is good enough, so he late registers and enters. Is this applicable? Scenario 3 - Fred plays the following week, in the Euro Tour event, on Saturday, even though he hasn't registered. He plays very poorly, and has no chance of making the cut. However, because he can play in the PGA event, he plays that on Sunday, and shoots a very good 4 rounds, so late registers in that event instead. Is this applicable? What I'm getting at, is surely, there must be a rule against playing in the event before registering, otherwise you'll get people making a decision on whether to register on either Tour, or at all, on the basis of their performance? Or are none of the above scenarios possible? They are all possible and I am sure all go on. This is false. Scenario 3 is not possible. Also, Scenarios 1 and 2 could hurt nobody but the player, since posting your scores always do better for you in the long run than not participating. |

The thing is the people that register and don't post scores either because they never got around to playing or because they don't want a MC on their career history really only hurt themselves. They get the DQ/DNF and lose out in the WGR. For everybody else, especially in Web where we average 20+ players each week that don't post their scores that's basically two freebie exemption spots we get each week.

That's the other side of the coin and I guess it all evens out. Like I said, my problem with all of this is more ethical than impact on the tour. I just think it stinks. You register, you play. You play, you post. You don't wait to 5 minutes to midnight to post when everybody knows you played your rounds 4 days earlier. It's bush league. And nobody's going to change how I feel about it. |

I guess it's what happens when there are no reprecussions beyond a slight loss in the WGR for a player registering and not posting. Those are the cases where it would be nice if there were strikes at the Pro levels just for people that do that, but not for those who miss the cut. Then people would either not register if they didn't expect to play, or they'd be forced to post their scores at least sometimes or be demoted.
