Welcome to the Dynamic Duos Course Design Contest! This contest will give you the opportunity to pick a mate, and then design golf courses that compliment each other. I have found myself slightly frustrated with contest requirements and restrictions, so I wanted to host a contest that would really give the designers a ton of freedom. As far as restrictions go, there won’t be many. Use the entire plot if you want to. No yardage restrictions. We will have a pretty standard Par system in play, however. (Course must be between par 69-73, which shouldn’t be difficult at all.) Just build the best course you can, using whatever tools and methods you’d like. I want to see creativity. I feel like without many restrictions, this community will be able to pump out some pretty sweet courses. Once we have all the team signed up, we will have a draft of sorts to determine which “category” or “theme” the team will use. Depending on numbers, we will have a draft for Team theme or Environment (Highlands, Rustic, Delta, etc)? I like this for keeping the 2 courses tied together and for getting some variety in the contest as well. If we have more teams than Themes available, we will look at an alternate method. Maybe choose regions or locations to base your environments in…..? Judging will be something similar to MT where everyone votes on the other teams courses. So say we had 6 teams of 2. You and your teammate will agree and vote on the order you would rank the other 5 teams courses, 1-5. After the judging has been completed we will take the top two teams and have a match play style judging, just as we did in MT. Sign-up window will be open starting today. Sign-up window will close Thursday, December 14th. We will have a draft the following day, Friday December 15th, to determine themes. I’m hoping to do this around 12pm CST, so our European counterparts can participate as well. Please drop your usernames below to sign-up. If you want to sign up as a single, we will randomly pair the singles together. There will be no plot sharing or file sharing in this contest please. We have many designers still on console, and want to keep it fair for them. Also, no WIPS allowed. Should start with a fresh plot for this contest. Publish window will open March 1st and all courses must be submitted by Friday, March 22nd at midnight CST. If anyone has questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out on this thread or you can DM me. Hopefully we can get some interest here and have a really fun contest!!! Cheers mates!! Hey Oskins, will you be televising the draft on Twitch? |

Awesome guys!! We have 7 teams signed up!! Boynsy - PC Oskins - xbox BrendanOR123- PS4 Wildy33- PS Robjs81- PS 5 Retteach61- PS 5 metatropic - PC mmallahan - PC OHIOstMIKE (PS5) Architexmaze (PS5) brandon04-Xbox Paddyjk19-PC scottiewalnuts -- ps5 WhatGrenadeWhere -- PC I will be hosting a draft stream tomorrow at 11am CST. on Twitch. I am hoping to get one candidate from each team at least in the stream so we can have a proper draft. We will randomize the draft order, and then the first team will select which in game theme that they want (Delta, Countryside, Tropical, etc..) Then team 2 will pick, and so forth. I will type up a good description as to what I feel like Id like to see as far as course cohesiveness within the teams. Also, I will discuss this live on stream tomorrow as well to try and clear up any questions people have. Really though, like I have said all along, I want very little restrictions. Basically the theme of the course is all you have to stay within. Anything else goes. Super excited to see what this great group of designers can come up with using as much of an "open sandbox" approach as we can. If anyone has any questions at all, dont hesitate to reach out and message me as well!! See you hacks tomorrow  |
