As of this moment, you can start designing. Group stages will be drawn tomorrow evening at 8pm GMT. Invites were sent to highly placed design contest participants first, then the rest of the field was filled, first based on number of Tour Worthy courses in the database, with a further tiebreaker if needed as the number of Approved courses in the database. We have eight alternates and I would strongly recommend you design courses and publish them when ready. You are not bound by the same publish window, so just work on a course at your own pace. However, you need to message me when your course is published so I have confirmation that's the one to be used. Once the design window closes, if there have been designers who don't finish a course, I will select from the alternate pool based on the course(s) that I think most deserve a spot - so do give it your best. Typically, we have at least two or three DNFs most contests, so it's worth giving it a go. Alternates: slightlysaucy - Sweet Honey Farm talented_mr_yipley - Galloway Port Authority skillman85 - n/a retteach - The Gallows fargo - Warrigal Reserve coursedesignHQ - Tawari Toro rebs - Ox Royle Club lukesca - Limbo City Club Key dates:- Group stage draw: Sunday 19th March - 8pm GMT - Publish window: July 1st - August 10thUsual disclaimers:- You can stream but must not solicit advice from others. - Do create a WIP thread for your course in the World Cup section of the forum. - You may not publish a beta for the purposes of feedback. If you're keen to publish one as a backup, send me a message so that I'm aware and can advise. - You must start a new course file for this contest. No pre-existing courses or plots may be used. - I strongly recommend you avoid the winter theme - the green grids really impact judging and will prohibit tour use.
Best of luck and discuss your progress etc here.

Hey Ben, going to open up a new course this evening and get cracking. I'm new to to design comps - is this one just free to design whatever you like with no required elements?

Hey Ben, going to open up a new course this evening and get cracking. I'm new to to design comps - is this one just free to design whatever you like with no required elements? Yep, no restrictions, just build the best course you can. The required elements from CC are a good guide as to some ways to add interest though so you’ll likely end up using a few anyway.

I wish everyone the opposite. You all suck and I hate you.
