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, TGCT has the player id of every single member, so with a basic php command you can avoid placing his scores in the leaderboard if the player is not registered. Or if you prefer, you can place in the leaderboards only the scores of the registered members, so I don't see a problem there |

Well, since I was the victim of the most annoying missed cut this week and only did I find out when I woke up on Friday morning did I found out that I'd missed the cut despite being in T66 when I went to bed with only 8 players left to play, I'm debating whether to start doing this too. The most annoying part is, it's the same people week in, week out.

I'd like the API post scores on the leaderboard but then the player has to confirm. I like the authenticity of registering your own scores but agree that in real golf you get to see scores as they happen.

Maybe with automatic API posting there could be an initial leaderboard only viewable by admins with all scores on all platforms, with a spreadsheet of all players on this site with their gamertags, and they can link the scores from the game with players on the site and post actual scores to the official leaderboard. That way people dont post incorrect scores and takes away the issue of posting late scores well after they played their rounds because admins will be the ones posting scores and will pst them all at the same time.

I think the act of submitting scores is what initiates the retrieval of your API. This would seem to be the least amount of work for the admins. There is no real difference between a player who posts at the deadline and one who actually plays at the deadline. You haven't made a cut until the deadline passes. This is a made-up problem and nothing is truly solved by "fixing" it. When Moe Slorkman made up the watcher report, it was a source of humor. Somehow, it's turned into a source of angst. |

You know...We could just keep it the way it is and find ourselves lucky that a site and community like this exists. Seems for the most part the majority is happy with the way things are. Sure this is opening the flood gates for the blah, blah, blah but I'm just saying.

When LGGT was going, you just played your rounds and the scores came up on their website within a few minutes after each round was played via the API. There wasn't a need to submit anything. Just play. And thinking about how it was done there, i just answered my other concern earlier in this thread. Only those registered would show up on their leaderboards. |

Nice to be still mentioned after been so long away π. I ask you all one question and one question only. According to self professed Watcher and head of the waiter division world number 1 @ijs1985 . Why does he do it? Get the answer to this question and you will see who's winning here !! |

The answer is simple Moe (Glad to see you back by the way) He does it so he can load up the ghost balls of the top players to see where the ball is landing and to see what happens when it lands there so he can best determine how to take his shot to do as well if not better than the competition. He takes advantage of everything this game has to offer in order to be number 1. Now, what do I win? |

More players are following his ghost than he is following others. |
