I didn't register this week. Played 2 rounds Thursday with about 3 hours to spare. Played my other 2 this morning. Meh. No sweat. No BS. I'm going to continue this trend.  |

Sorry about that earlier... I was upset with something away from the game and it rubbed off on my behavior here... sorry. Carry on.

When I played my rounds in CC few months ago, I wait till the last day, about 12 hours orso to play my rounds...simply I wanna know how much I need to get a promotion or play save on diffucult courses etc. I didnt use ghost, cause its sh%$ and distracts me. Nothing wrong with playing or posting in the last minute...my opinion.

I think he's more ticked about the folks who play on Sunday and then don't post scores until the deadline than what you're talking about. |

Robert doesn't affect me at all. I've made the last 6 cuts. Even got an exemption to PGA one week where I got buried. It's for the other golfers that it bugs me. You got guys sitting at the cut line for 8 hours with nothing being posted. Suddenly, just before midnight, the scores go up and these guys who have been biting their nails all day hoping to make the cut, get their hopes dashed with just minutes to go. I think it's bush league to wait so long. Surely these people had their rounds played long before midnight. Anyway, I'm done doing the Watchers Report. I just get too annoyed with the whole thing so it's not worth the aggravation anymore. Let somebody else deal with it. Agreed, Bush Leauge indeed. Well said. The option, which has probably been discussed would be to auto populate the leaderboard with API data (greyed out maybe?) and just require confirmation to make the result official. If its possible, i think everyone would like this idea. Or possibly make it a requirement to have your gamertag link to your player profile (might already be so) so as people finish the scores are automatically put up, not confirmation needed from the player and makes it so if you played the round it is already official, no going back in a sense. Personally i think it would benefit everyone: no posting incorrect scores, eliminating this problem, eliminating the problem for some who forget to post scores.... moderators could just check the leaderboards at the end of every day and add scores into the leaderboard, and have a master list connecting players to gamertags so correctly identify who posted what scores in-game. |

One thing about the having the API post the scores, and this just crossed my mind, some people will play events that they are not registered for,i.e.e, someone registered and played Euro but also played the PGA event for fun (littrring the leaderboard in the game itself lol). If API was used to post scores, I'm wondering if it would also litter the actual leaderboard on the website, regardless of registration?

Well I would guess the leaderboards only got populated by scores matching the platform and and user with those who have signed up for the event no? |

There is a player plays on the Euro tour who also plays the Web event because I see his scores all the time when I play, in my opinion it shouldn't be allowed. He's ranked round about 15 on the WGR why does he feel the need to play on a lower tour. |

It doesn't affect the standings on tgctours site since he isn't on that tour, so I am not sure the problem. I used to play the tours above me before I got to PGA to make myself improve back in season 1. |

If I wasn't allowed to play other tours, first of all I wouldn't play the game period, and second of all I'd still be stuck down in CC-Z... |

I was referencing why immediate API posting may be a problem. Or it may not.
As for people playing events they aren't registered in, I personally don't have a problem with it. But it does litter the leaderboard in-game with scores that aren't part of the event since this thread has been discussing the posting of scores. If someone is trying to determine where they really stand and there are non-related scores showing, I can see where it could be a little frustrating between that and rounds not being posted by the user on this website until late.
If there was anything I would take issue with in regards to non-reg's playing is that good players would be providing good/great score ghost balls for others to follow. But I don't care enough about it to take issue with it.

What does canthitstraight think about this? He plays more rounds than anybody. |

What does canthitstraight think about this? He plays more rounds than anybody. Thanks for linking me Patrick. I have not visited this thread before so I'm only responding to your post: In Season 2, I played every tour almost every week while I had my PGA card: PGA / Euro/ Web.com / CC / even the monthly Q-School. I figured that it was not against the rules (even Doyley explicitly stated that it was allowed) and allowed me extra practice for consistency. It wasn't until this new year's that I stopped myself from playing any CC and Web.com rounds. I'll still play both PGA & Euro on more weeks than not, but I had to lower my number of rounds played a week as I was getting a tad burned out. Maybe lowering my playtime is what I needed because I finally earned my first victory plaque a few months back at Pebble Beach. As long as the administrators have no issue with it, people will continue to play rounds that are not their tournament. I really don't see a big problem with it. |
