sorry to ask again, but thread (understandably) got sidetracked with this DQ issue; as a Q schooler, is there any point in me playing this promo event? Will it help me go up levels, on top of what my Q school performance does? Thanks

I don't think so. You have to be already in one of the Tours to be registered in the promo event.

Really happy with my play here. I drained more 20+ feet putt than I can count. I'd be in the bushes thinking, crap I gotta save par. And boom my chip goes in! -35. I hope this is good enough for Web.com. I can't see many players shooting low enough each round, too many crazy variables I lucked out on. I was ecstatic with my first round and didn't expect to be able to continue with that kind of scoring. I remember being +1 thru 5 and the ghost I was playing being -5 thru 5. We ended the round tied at -10. That was a blast, and the course is brutal at times!
Avoid bogeys and your birdies add up quick. Funny thing is I'm pretty sure I only scored a few birds on the par 5s over all 4 rds even though most of them were reachable and I was in the fairway.
Was on the Euro Tour last year and have been stuck at CC-D this season
61-64-62-62 = -35

I assume you have to finish under par to be part of promotion spots? PS: I had a practice yesterday and some narrow fairways so will have to concentrate .. practice was -1 after 18 holes (I’m CC-G) We're talking about bumping that up for this event due to the difficulty of the course. We need to have enough people promote/participate so the current number we're considering is 10-over par for the event will be the cutoff point that can get earn you a promotion. Doyley......So how would this work if the cut off for promotion is at 10 over par? if you stopped right now only 2 wouldn't get promoted

By the time it comes into effect it really only applies to CC-Z players usually. Mainly there to prevent guys from shooting well over par from getting promoted - usually due from light participation. Don't think that'll be a problem and the fact that many aren't shooting over par is a good thing.

There is a tiebreaker in effect. Lowest r4 back thru r1 then r4 h18 count back.

Thanks You could play it for fun to see how you stack up against a larger field, but in order to be eligible for the promo event you would need to have a Tour card which you won't officially get until after the promo event ends.

I could counter this by saying that as long as he finishes Q-School and passes all the normal checks, yada yada that go along with that, then a new TGCT member would always get a CC-Z card at a minimum, so there could be an argument made that if he were to finish Q-School before starting the Promotion event, technically they had "earned" a card before playing the Promo event. There are time stamps in API iirc. Pretty sure for this to even work they would need an active ticket going about the issue or else they wouldn't know to look for it.
Yes I am stretching things to the extreme to come to my conclusion and I realize that.
However, Doyley has to earn his keep around here somehow, right?

Should note the leaderboard autosorts via lowest round 4 score back to R1 - so the tiebreakers are easy to see/already sorted - we'll only go to hole countback if two members are on the cutoff line and shoot identical scores all 4 rounds (not likely).

Although in the rules/info page it does state that you must wait until the event is finalized on Sunday at which point you'll be assigned your card based upon where you place and then you can begin to play official events. Rules trump Doyley so it no longer matters what he says.

so first i played 2 of each, then stopped. I have now finished Q school, with 2 rounds left of promo event. Would really appreciate being able to finish the promo and it count towards my tour placing

PGA ideal tour size bumped up 5 to 130. Seeing how the leaderboard is shaking up - the guys in 6-10 slots would have no issues competing on PGA so we can top it up a bit more.
