I like what you’ve done with this metric. This is a good metric. All in. I’m sure you do like it 😉 |

Designer WGR explained:
This is the formula we'll be using to select the 12 at-large qualifiers ... Ok, so I may have just completely misinterpreted your post in the signup thread from a while back, the one that started with "Start your bulldozers" and tagged a bunch of is. I took that to mean the people who had been tagged were "officially" going to be in the contest. Upon a second reading, I'm pretty sure I wildly misread that message/post, would that be an accurate statement? I didn't bother to consider counting the number of guys you'd tagged, but I'm now thinking it was literally just everyone had had "registered" at that point...
Without participating in any season 6 or 7 contests, seems pretty damn unlikely that I (or others who haven't participated in recent years' contests) would get in via "at-large," if I'm understanding your DWGR formula correctly - which is a stretch, as we've already proven my reading comprehension is suspect at best when it comes to this ordeal. That sound about right? No grudge to be had about it or upset feelings at all, just trying to get an idea of what to expect since I've been grinding away at a course for this contest under what I'm now pretty sure was an incorrect assumption that I'd already been granted a spot.
...which definitely doesn't make me feel like a dumbass at all...oops.  Yeah Justin, it was impossible to tell (aside from the exempt players) who was in the field until after the registration window closed (will have the final official list tomorrow). But know some had the itch to get started. That’s why there’s a side contest for anyone who doesn’t make it in. Definitely didn’t want anyone put in two weeks of work in vain. |

Makes me think there is a sort of world ranking for designers. Kind of a cool concept

Just a head's up. I'm off to work in about 15-20 minutes. If there are any questions, I'll try to answer on my lunch (around 12 CT), otherwise should be home around 4 CT.

Time to shock the world as the final person in the field. Good Luck to everyone and I cannot wait to see the bad ass designs coming our way!

You mean he creates the course while hosting his "Joys of planting" weekly show that he's about to reboot....  I'm just gonna post this every time I see "Joy of Planting". I concur. Realism is very important.   |

What is that godawful lighting? It's right in my eyes. Get that sun up in the air.
Edit: platinum guys are gonna love that first course.

whew... with taking a year break from design contests- didn't think I'd score enough points just from TGCT event courses.
Unlike Smedley, I hadn't started anything in Designer- just spent two weeks compiling inspiration pics (landscaping background sculpting) for my course.

 Happy to be first alternate though!! Not started yet (was waiting to see if I scraped in). I will try & tune in for the draw as it's great fun - good luck to all 32 finalists. |

I knew it was a very long shot getting in as an at large due to my lack of real published work but I'm looking forward to dipping my toes into competition with the 9-hole side contest. Good luck everyone! 8.5.5 |
