I'm sure in the API there is a time/date stamp as to when a round was played, if a player registers after the time/date stamp then he could/should get a dq. I can't play in my local golf club tournament, then register, but I can register just before I go out.

We have and will continue to monitor those that abuse our system. I will be keeping up and and monitoring those that are signing up "late". This feature is to protect those that honestly forget and new Q-School members who finish Q-School in the middle of a week and want to immediately start playing. We expect you to register and signup for a tournament as you normally do before the tournament begins -- if we see you constantly missing deadlines and signing up late, then you will be flagged. Also -- I'll be tightening this up today to NOT allow crossover registration late. If you register late, it will have to be for your tour that you own a card for. Thanks! Tim Can you clarify what is considered a late sign up for a PGA/Euro player please Tim? Is this the Friday before the tourny starts or durin the tourny week? |

Late signups are anyone that isn't registered by Friday (48 hours prior to event starting). If you miss that then you'll have to wait Saturday and Sunday then will be able to register Monday-Thursday assuming max field isn't met. We're updating the Leaderboards and Player Field pages to show max field shortly so that info is available to all players.

Am i right in sayin that a PGA/Euro player cannot cross over if theyv missed the initial registration (48 hrs before tournys start) and can only then take a late registration on the tour they own a card on? (I think this what Tim has said above). |

(I think this what Tim has said above). That is what we believe is the case - at this point it hasn't been tested so if it's possible to crossover due to a max field on your home tour I'd consider that a bonus and we won't be looking to change it. But I'm sure Tim's going to code it so that you can't crossover after Friday so it's likely a week off in that case - more of an issue for PGA and Web.com players as they are more active - shouldn't be an issue on the Euro Tour until another 30-40 people join up there. |

I'm looking to use this feature to register late for the 11/2 Challenge E tournament, but don't see the submit scorecard option anywhere.
Looks like the field is at 133/500. Is there a certain time this opens up for late registration on Mondays?

Should be open now - on the main page there is an Active Events grid - there should be a submit score link beside your event there - click that to register late when you are ready to submit your 1st round score. |

We're updating the Leaderboards and Player Field pages to show max field shortly so that info is available to all players. Is there a way to eventually have an option to late register after the regular deadline 11:59:59 EST on Friday night, and before the leaderboards open on Monday morning at 00:00:00 AM EST?!?! Some people may panic and not realize they have the option come Monday if they play early on in the weekend. I still would only include the current card holders and (another point below) those on exemption available to do this. Crossovers would still be not available after the Friday night deadline. As mentioned above, are those who earn an exemption from Web.com to PGA or European tour available to play the immediate next week now with the late registrations or do they have to follow the old rules of waiting out a week and still having a 7 day window to use that exemption or not? Just want to ask because there are those that will fall under this issue most weeks. The issue is that they would likely be registered under Web.com, and would have to un-register and then late register to a top tour (PGA/European). I have no opinion either way. Just want to throw out situations that will and are currently happening. |

I late signed up for a Euro exemption after having registered for web.com
It just auto deregistered me from web.com
What concerns me is that someone could play their Euro round and if it's pants not bother to use their exemption and then go and play their web as normal.
Using their exemption perhaps next week.

I think that is being monitored by the admin team.
But I might be wrong, so let's wait for an official statement on that...

Using their exemption perhaps next week. I had not thought about it from that angle. Good points. I was going from the angle of trying to get Web players a quicker chance to move up, but if that could be exploited how you say, then maybe it shouldn't be allowed for the very next week. Or maybe if you use an exempton from Web to PGA or Euro it can be coded that you cannot back out and play Web.com. Just some thoughts. |

At some point we have to rule for convenience over locking down every single exploit. It's just too time consuming to block all avenues people can take and we have too much we want to add to spend any more time on the registration process than we already have.
There will be loop-holes I'm sure - We'll do our best to keep it from being exploited. But at the end of the day - people are going to want the option to move up asap and currently that is in place. The good heavily outweighs the bad in this case - so for those that like to game systems, shame on you - otherwise, enjoy the flexibility and play fair!

G'day Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am at a point where I know for certain I will be demoted to a lesser flight. Trouble is I cannot register now for week 6. Seems I registered in flight E and now cannot find anywhere that I am in any field. And I cannot register for Z. No really big deal, I am not about to challenge you guys, just that I enjoy my weekly competition.
Seems I have erred somewhere?
Kind regards to all,
oz

Kind regards to all, oz Late registrations are not open during the weekend because you have to use the Submit Score button for the upcoming event to use the late registration feature, so since Week 6 score submitting is still about a day away, you will be able to register in Z at that time. Unsure why you aren't showing in any field if you registered. |
