Since Playforia MiniGolf seems to have stuck around for a couple of months on /sp/, I figured that there should be an /sp/ mini golf tour. Anyway, I made this forum to see how much interest there is and also to find out when everyone is available and the most popular game format would be.


Proposed Game Settings
Players: 4
Holes: 9
Track Types: Varies, depending on date (Hole in One, Short, or Traditional)
Stroke Limit: Default limit that accompanies the the track type.
Stroke Time Limit: 20 seconds
Ball Goes to Water: Back to Start.
Ball Collisions: No
Scoring: Track Scoring
Weight End: None.

Ball Collisions has to be off simply because of collusion/general dickery. Track scoring must be enabled because track selection is random, so the par score for one foursome won't be comparable to that of another foursome.

Proposed Tour Format
Tournament Registration:
Since the most popular hour seems to be in the early afternoon, GMT; so, the tournaments will take place at this time. The tour will run for four weeks, with the championship in the fifth week. There will be two tournaments per week (tentatively: Monday and Wednesday). Players are to register for the tournament no later than 15 minutes before tee-off. From the total pool of registrants, foursomes are randomly assigned. After play is complete, the winner is to upload a screenshot of the final score to the match report forum, and the other 3 are to confirm in the thread. Obviously this system will rely upon honesty and cooperation among players. We will see how that works out.

Tour Scoring:
Leaderboard points are awarded as follows: 4 points for a win, 2 points for second place, 1 point for third place, no points for last place. In the event of a tie, points are split evenly (e.g. in a 2-way tie for first, points are split (4+2)/2 = 3 points per player; in a 3-way tie for last, points are split (2+1+0)/3 = 1 point per player. The top eight players are invited to the tournament championship.

Championship Tournament
The top 8 players in the leaderboard are invited to the championship match. The championship match is only short, scored by stroke, divided into two rounds. The top two players from each foursome advance to the final game.

Tournament Dates and Formats:
