Extension?! Pshhhhhhh. That neverrrrr happens around here. Haven't discussed possible dates, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a week or two added if it helps quite a few people get over the hump. Especially since this could (?) be one of the last two competitions before the new game. Although not getting any typical May-ish leaks on an August release date like the last two games has me worried. Ok thanks. I'll probably push on then. Rubric?!? Since there are 50+ courses we haven't quite decided, but a scoring system would definitely be the best way to go. Just keep ryanmcconnell away from judging my course then please. It was recently pointed out to me that lads got together for a fun review of my WC course. It wouldn't be fair on the other contestants if he judged my course given how much he clearly loves me  |

****Published**** Vand Salley - National Treasure 2022 - Wisconsin Vand Salley is a place where massive, exposed sand dunes tower above you, where players walk, and where the fescue turf will play firm and fast. Situated on over 1700 acres of massive, tumbling sand dunes and unique heathland vegetation, Vand Salley will bring the drama and playing style of a seaside links to the heartland of America. Located near a small town named Rome in the heart of Wisconsin. Vand Salley is a short drive from cities like Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, and Minneapolis but feels like a world on its own that will remind you of the busy world you left behind. Getting on the correct side of the undulating greens is a must at Vand Salley or face torturous downhill/uphill putts on the firmest of greens. Measuring 7331 yards from the tips, its not for the faint hearted however, some short par 4’s to capitalise on should you hit the correct spots on the fairway. Why not stay over with a group of friends in our state of the art play and stay hotels and make the most of your visit with on site entertainment and endless fun. Vand Salley welcomes all new visitors, our team is ready to be an incremental part in creating great memories so don’t hesitate and book your round/s today.       |

jwtexan Just curious when the thought of an extension comes into play? We're about a week out with less than half the field published, I definitely want to push on and get in under the deadline but if there's an extension it would mean some corners not cut in the coming days (ie. less planting). Cheers bud. 🍸

Cheers bud. 🍸 Agreed. I'm fine if it's a hard deadline as originally but it would be good to know if there is more time as I am struggling for time up to the 30th but much better in the first 3 days of July. 4th July Independence Day seems an appropriate deadline given the nature of the competition! 🤔 |

An extension to the 4th would be perfect, as I could then put off re-routing my entire course until the 2nd or so.

Although I agree its been a lot of time, I also think there is no harm giving the stragglers a couple extra days to finish, especially if there is precedent in extending publishing windows for TGC contests. Yes it's a contest but there's no "big cash prize" at the end of the tunnel. Ultimately this is all for fun and a video game. Just my opinion though... for whatever that's worth. |

I don't disagree, but the possibility of an extension has been suggested so I just want some clarity given everyone's time commitments are different. What is unfair is busting our balls and/or dropping features in the last week to meet a deadline, only to find it gets extended at the last minute. |

I am torn here...I would like to see as many people publish for the contest, providing the best course they have to offer.
On the other hand, states were handed out in mid- to late-March, meaning everyone had almost 3.5 months to complete their course. Seems like quite a bit of time to me. The deadline was set very early on, too, so that wasn't a surprise.
Personally, I knew I'd be super busy in my real life in June. So I worked hard to get my entry done before my schedule filled up.
Also, there's also only a week left until the window closes...it seems it may be too late to extend the deadline? What about the folks who published within the last couple of days? Would they have changed anything if they knew they still had almost 2 full weeks left to work instead of just 1? I don't know...we're pretty close to the end of the road here and moving the goalposts now would be kind of iffy to me.
Like I said, I am torn. Glad I don't have to make the decision...good luck to all working to hit the deadline!

Yes, we were given plenty of notice and to move it now would be completely unfair to everyone who has published. However, this is a design contest for virtual golf courses. If it means better competition I'm all for it. I'd rather beat a field of full-assed courses than half-assed ones. Plus, if we were concerned with contest integrity and 'fairness' around here we would use a better format for World Cup. 😂

I can only see why someone who put everything into it and played by the rules and already published only to get beat by a person that got a chance to look at the rest of the competition and try to out do them at the last minute. If they put up a half assed course so be it. I doubt it was a result of not having time to do it since everyone knew the rules when entering the contest. |
