Thought I'd pander to my OCD and set up threads for the CC divisions for Season 8.
Hopefully they'll be plenty to chat about, build rivalries, brag and moan and groan. May the cut be in your favour.
Good luck.

Thanks, Ben !
Qualified with 'only' 24 under, so I may not be here too long before demotions pile up.
Garden of Eden seems like it will be a bit tougher to go really low, only the top dozen or so should be in the 50s every round.
Good luck, everyone

I qualified to CC-F with -26. Scored -8 R1 and -5 R2 at Garden of Eden so far. Not sure if -13 will be enough to make the cut though.

In the same boat at -13, Kie. Was at 14, then gave one back on 17th and a lip out birdie try on 18th. I was thinking I might need those extra strokes by Thursday, sadly.

67-60 for -17 hopefully ok. First tourney not in old Beer league. Still not entirely sure how it all works. 🤪

Well, -13 makes it right on the line. Hoping to hole a few more putts in the 'weekend' rounds.
Kudos to the leaders ... hope to scramble at least into the top 60. Good luck, everyone who made it !

-22 after 54 holes, leaders are well out in front despite a nifty (for me) 63 on my part.
In some ways I'm kind of disappointed I made the cut, since it's obvious I'm not up to contending here in the long run, unless the flights sort out a little more.
Will there ever be one where -30 is all it takes to contend for a victory ? Let's hope so ... the promo/demo system is relatively slow to work, I'd rather see a total regrouping by outright scoring after week 3 or 4, if a proper selection of courses & conditions have been played. So far, recovery has been pretty easy from missed fairways, a tighter track might be appropriate next.

How does this Glocca Morra course have 4.5 stars? Some bad greens, terrible pin placements, some ridiculous fairways… The back nine especially. Front nine mostly ok. Designer just went a little too far in places. Looks nice. (Not complaining because I can’t score - I’m 12th after three rounds. It just has issues imho. Close, but could use more work.)

The course is certainly challenging. Some of those pins in round 2 were really tough to get at.

Still not entirely sure how it all works. 🤪 Pretty much the same as Beer - except in CC - if you win tournament - you promote up a flight. Otherwise it's Top 7.5% for 2 promo marks, top 15% for 1 promo mark... Miss cut - bottom 20% gets 1 demo mark - bottom 10% gets 2 demo marks. If you have a promo mark and miss cut - you lose 1 mark, if you have a demo mark and make cut - you clear 1 mark. 3 promo marks (outside of a tour win) promotes you to next level 5 demo marks demotes you to lower level.

Thanks Jeff, this is helpful but I still don't understand how it works. Presumably the marks on the left of the leaderboard by your name are what you are on going into that tournament and the marks on the right side near the total are what you got in that week's tournament? Using last weeks CC-F as an example Josh MacNaughton finished 9th and it shows him with one Green promo mark on the left side and 3 on the right side. How did he get 3 marks on the right side and if 3 green marks gets you a promotion then how come he didn't get promoted to CC-E?

The one you see next to his name is the net result after the 3 promo marks (on the right) he gained had been applied. He must have come into the week with 2 demo marks so those are cleared leaving him one promo mark to carry forward.

And how do you get three promo marks in one week anyway?

And how do you get three promo marks in one week anyway? Because you can get 2 promo marks for finishing in top 7.5% and if you make the cut with demo marks to your name one of those is cleared also (=3 promo's). Whatever LB you look at (I believe) shows the number of promo/demo marks that player currently has, not historically.

Whatever LB you look at (I believe) shows the number of promo/demo marks that player currently has, not historically. Oh ok, that solves it for me then. I thought that you could look back through historic leaderboards/results and see the story of how someone accrued promo/demo marks and the running total at the end of each tournament but if that left side tally is always current even on historic leaderboards then that is what was confusing me.
