How to Play: Check the schedule to see who you will be playing. Each week will be Sunday-Sunday, which should give people plenty of time to coordinate times and setup a time to play. Use the steam group to easily find your opponent and send them a message to play (try to set something up early in the week..with many people in very different time zones, it can be tough to set up a time last minute). I highly recommend using the voice server lobby (mumble) so you can talk to your opponent during the match.
If you haven't played match play yet, here's how to get a game going.
Decide who is going to be the host. The host needs to select "play round", then in the rules and players screen, scroll over to Online Match Play. Once in the game, the host invites the opponent. Once they join, you are ready to go! ***You need to be on each others friends list in order to invite them!
After the match: The winner needs to go back to the tournament site
www.freeonlineleague.com/league.php?league_id=2330 and scroll over to "Schedule". Find your match for the week and click "Submit Result". If you beat your opponent 3 UP, enter the score as 3 to 0 for you. All Squared matches are to be entered as 0-0. There is a space to right a comment about each match, feel free to add something about how the match went for others to read! I will enter the schedule on the tournament site one week at a time.
Other Things:
Connection Problems: If two players for some reason can not connect, or there is a disconnection mid match, go back in and play the game as a stroke play with live ghosts. Each hole scores can be compared manually. Communication is key here.
Inactivity: In order for something like this to work, all 16 users need to be active. Even if you are in week 14 and out of the playoff picture, keep playing! You can still do some damage to playoff hopefuls! If a player is not responding to messages to set up a time to play, please let me know and that player will be given a loss for the week if they haven't responded. If you are positive you won't be able to get in your match for the week (vacation, etc), please let me and your opponent know and it can be re-scheduled for a later time.
Twitch/Mumble: Highly encouraged! Broadcast your games and connect via chat over mumble. Will make things alot more fun!
