Are you tired of playing in societies that are dominated by great players or having the same few players winning every tournament. If you are it's time to join "Global Golf HCP Bracket Society" (Available only on PS4) What exactly is a Handicapped Bracket Society?It will be a society where everyone will be playing using the Pro Swing difficulty. We will have 8 qualifying/handicapping tournaments of 2 rounds each of which players must complete at least 5 of the 8 qualifying tournaments so that the Administrative team can manually calculate a proper handicap (we will not be using the course slope ratings in the calculation because it distorts handicaps to the point that they are unusable). After the qualifying tournaments we will calculate each players handicap and they will be ranked based on their handicaps. We will then move to the Bracket Tournament and you will progress through the rounds playing your net score against your opponent's. The winner advances to the next round until we determine a winner. We do NOT play actual head to head matches as it's too time consuming and scheduling match play with people around the world is impossible. The handicaps will create a fair and equitable method of leveling abilities. Cheaters and sandbaggers (those shooting more than 3 shots below their handicap) will be disqualified. Since this type of society is very labor intensive we will be limiting the number of members. Once you are in the society, establish a handicap, and remain active you will be guaranteed a spot in the Bracket Tournament. You can join the Society on 2k21 by search for "Global Golf HCP" membership is free and tournament fees will be 100 coins with 100% payouts. Qualifying/Handicapping Tournaments begin on October 1st.The complete rules and detailed explanation will be posted in the society Facebook group by this weekend. I recommend you join the “Global Golf HCP Bracket Society” Facebook Group so that you stay you receive all society news, tournament Brackets and results. Link to our Facebook group www.facebook.com/groups/624350561952263/Join now we will be closing the membership when we reach 65 members and then put others on a waiting list.

Tournament #1 Bracket
We've had 8 qualifying rounds so that members can establish proper handicaps and we are now ready to start our first knock out tournament. The 40 players are seeded by their Handicap. Top seed has the lowest handicap and the 40th seed the highest. The top 24 seeds have Bye's in the 1st round but you can still play for the enjoyment and to win a share of the 4000 bonus coins that are added to each of the tournaments. After each players name you will see their handicap To see the seeding bracket click on the attached link. Link to seedings and bracketIf you would like to be part of the action join the Society and you can immediately start playing in the posted events. You will need to play at least 10 rounds in order to be entered into the bracket tournaments

Tournament UpdateThe opening round of the bracket was played between the 16 players who did not receive a bye and there by needed to qualify for the Round of 32. It was the first test of how accurate the handicapping system we uses is (no slope rating is used in the calculation). Only 25% of the players shot a net score under par which is in line with the USGA statistics. A great start for the fairest Society on 2k21. We have now moved on to the Round of 32.
