Giraffe72 You guys are just lazy! We got the Seniors Tour up and running on a multi-platform basis. If we found a way I'm sure you guys can. After all it was an extremely popular competition.

Well I enjoyed the times I played here and want to thank those that made it work in TGC1 and give Jamie a special shout out! Here's to hoping you can figure it out on here also!

I don't think in game scores would add up though would they, because each round would be its own Tournament? We'd have to collect scores for each individual round! That was the beauty of a tour, one round on 3 different courses with the cumulative score at the end. I think we could work on 3 separate societies and with the time limit, it's the lack of a tour that is the problem. Or am I missing something? And thanks for the kind words, it's been a genuine pleasure to be a part of it. To be honest my main job was not breaking that spreadsheet and trying to keep it up to date, the write ups were just a load of waffle with some stats and the odd bad joke thrown in! Haven't heard from the boss on this subject for a while, let's see what happens.... You get points awarded per round which add up over the season. For example, winner gets 100 points, 2nd place 80 etc. I don't know how the points structure works but I've seen it in action. I've just thought of an issue though. Unless RRCC became official we would have to keep the 3 platforms separate becasue the points system wouldn't really work especially with the majority playing on PS4!!!!! I'm sure whatever happens this will continue to run even if there is a longer than expected break. I'll expect you to get in touch about the spreadhseet though as I can see big changes could be required. Saying that, you probably know it better than I do by now.

Giraffe72 You guys are just lazy! We got the Seniors Tour up and running on a multi-platform basis. If we found a way I'm sure you guys can. After all it was an extremely popular competition. Tell us how Peter? Simple. You need 3 people willing to put in a bit of time and effort. 1 person per platform. Set up your 3 societies. Work out your schedule and synchronise. Sure winds will be different but that will even out over time. It won't be the same as before (unless HB changes their stance) cos' you have to follow the set schedule now and can't play at your own pace. But for me, the shining light of this tour, has always been the showcasing of designer talent. The good thing is you can still do this - just in a slightly different format. Good luck. You'll have people beating down the doors to get in.

The only way to get 3 courses in a week would be 3, 2 day tournaments, each on a different course. I really liked playing in this competition and hope some way it can be continued in TGC2. Thanks for all the hard work guys.

Giraffe great write up as usual for the end of RRCC on TGC1.
Really appreciate all the work you guys have done to keep RRCC going; looked forward each week to the Tour and seeing some great new courses.
I hope you guys can find a way to get RRCC going on TGC2; if TGCTours can get the TST as an official tour maybe you can see if Doyley etc can get RRCC made official under TGCTours as well.
Anyway I'm keeping a Society spot free in anticipation that you get something up and running.

Thanks for all the hard work guys. It would yes, but that would put a tight 48 hour time limit on each tourney. The beauty of the old RRCC was that you had three whole weeks to play each set of courses at your leisure. Really could do with a HB patch to alleviate all of this...

That's simply not the way I want to run this tour. I'm still on holiday in Croatia with my family, so please give me a few more days to think about all this. When I'm back home I might speak to Doyley or even HB directly if there's any chance to grant it official status. Only thing they can do is say "No". Just asking for some more patience!

Didn't mean to come across pushy, and I apologize.

Ok, once again, just thinking out loud, not demanding. But the TGC1 was 3 courses over 3 weeks. If a one round tourney were set up each week, then that would come closer to the time frame. To make it work, you would need one person in charge of a society on each platform, creating the same tournament for the same period of time. The only potential difference then would be the wind. This is what the Senior Tour has done and everyone accepts the wind factor. In the real world of golf the player that draws the morning tee time compared to the one that draws the afternoon tee time, typically have much different playing conditions, even more than just wind.

That's not quite right because although you had 18 days to play your 3 rounds the events all overlapped each other so we had 2 or 3 running at once. Essentially it was still 3 rounds a week. I think having a week time limit for each one would be ok but I personally don't like the idea of 3 separate 2 day tournaments to achieve that, which brings us back to not being able to set up a tour.

I'm a newcomer to this game, so while I wasnt part of it before would love to see a way for it to continue. I have one suggestion that I'm sure it's more difficult than it should be, but think it would work too mimic the old format. It would come down to 3 societies on each platform. A one round tournament lasting a week in each society would make up a cumulative tournament each week. It would require 9 total people running a society, but anyone could join, play, and then leave to join the next society so you wouldn't need to be a member of all 3 at once (at least until the society cap increases).
I realize this is way more complicated than it should be, but also seems like there were enough people interested in this Tour that they'd be willing to bounce around between societies to play the events. Scores and standings would just need to be kept in Excel and the societies only used for organizing the events, but the set up at least works in my head.

Are you allowed to have more that one event active in a society? Was gonna say you could roll out 3 courses and space the dates by 2 days and it can run for 3 weeks in total.
I suppose the "official" status is a no go too? Be nice to have elements universal across platforms.
Damn shame what happened
