Hi all, I have a questions about rules. I started the first CC round this morning and at the 16th hole (I guess) my PC started stuttering and suddenly "died" (black screen and than "no signal" on the monitor). Short story I have been able to restart the PC but it looks like WIN11 disk is corrupted (it keeps asking to use the restore point). Work was calling so I turned off the PC and left. What happens if tomorrow I will not be able to finish the 1st and 2nd round within the wednesday deadline ? Will I get the DNF and the 2 red marks ? In the leaderboard I see this: POS COUNTRY MY SCORES TOTAL THRU R1 R2 R3 R4 STROKES WGR -- italy Roberto Busatto E 1 -- -- -- -- 0 Thank you for clarifying this! Roberto ![]() |

Personally I would send a support ticket and explain the situation, they might be able void your participation this week if you think you are going to have troubles playing? |

The DNF penalties only come into effect after completion of round 1 when you cannot complete the rest of your rounds in time. |

If you did not finish round 1 your score will not be pulled by the website and you will not be penalized.

Thank you all ! Let's see what happens tomorrow afternoon with the PC ! Apologies, take back my comment. I'd always thought if you started the round that was it. Learn something new everyday. |

This answer is correct - I have personally had to do this once and just expected the demo marks. They never came because I didn't finish the first round. That said, never hurts to email commish@tgctours.com, just in case. |

I recently learned this. It's a bad exploit to know about in my opinion. I'm gonna choose not to use it unless some major pc malfunction. I don't mind "exploits" perse, but this one kills my immersion. But yeah, if a player wanted to play 17 holes and realize they had very little chance to make the cut they could avoid demo marks indefinitely. I recently brought this up in the Elite Discord Channel but it seems to be one of those topics we don't talk about |

Golf is a game of integrity, and if someone doesn't have it, then they have to live with themselves. |
