As far as I see it, gamesdecent, you should just be lucky they are sorting the field before judging starts for WCOD. I shudder to think where you’d be after failing to make it out of a group to a course without a single plant and a hilly subdivision. As for me, Marie’s Dunes continue to nurture and sustain me and I plan on milking them until they’ve ran dry.  |

By the way, there is zero purpose to the order of those names, so don’t draw any false conclusions. What are the 'category' groupings? What does that mean? Category 1 - high chance of selection, Category 2 - med-high chance, Cat 3, etc. etc... ? EDIT: Nevermind - I re-read the OP... "Who Gets Chosen: There are no invites, but it's also not completely 'open' either. Weighted consideration will be given to applicants in this fashion: 1) a contest winner within the past two years, 2) a top-5 finisher in any contest within the past two years, 3) competed in at least two design competitions (exc. rookie) within the past year, 4) wild-card slots chosen by the contest directors" |

I know everybody is getting nervous, so let me just put this here to make you... MORE nervous! Here is the current list that Crazycanuck1985 and I have to mull over on Friday night: From category 1 on the priority list:b101 mayday91283 mattf27 reebdoog staypuft39 csugolfer60 ryanjmcconnell From category 2 on the priority list:cib0rg bspetty24 sindrerev joegolferg violinguy69 So a rookie win from way back whenever is better than 2nd places in both the previous WCoD AND previous major? Is that what we’re saying? Trying to get my ducks in a row before McConnell texts me talking sh%$. I mean if I hadn’t been top 5 in a year and a half I don’t think I’d even accept an exemption but that’s just me. Can’t speak for them. 1) a contest winner within the past two years Winning a Paralympic Gold is not the same thing as winning an Olympic gold  |

I really hope I get drafted by ryanmcconnell in this year's dream team competition. I want to be able to say we were led to victory by a category 1 superstar. Sorry gamesdecent category 2 is just not leadership material in my eyes  |

Hello,
I think my design skills are worthy of an entry in this competition.
My courses are successful in the fantasy category but I can hone a new course for this more realistic endeavour of a major venue.
My 3 most successful courses are:
SS's - Dystopian
SS's - Drifting Rock Ranch
SS's - Volcanic Cliffs
They all have 1000's of plays and high ratings.
give us a shot
Brett.
