Well, he sent one to us on Monday. When was that one dated?

**sabby** · 03-17-2007, 08:08 AM

I hope this tourney hasn't lost steam, I still do not have scores from the following:

Kong
Tenser
Hobbes
TrakMastaTom
jeckel22

**TrakMastaTom** · 03-18-2007, 09:55 PM

Totally forgot. Can I give it to you tommorow?

**sabby** · 03-19-2007, 07:05 AM

Are we losing steam with this already, that's a shame, I still haven't received scores from the above list.

**Kugyince** · 03-19-2007, 01:23 PM

Sorry Sabby. I've been caught up writing an article for the site.

{OOC: The lower case s irks me to no end.}

**BRODYMAN** · 03-19-2007, 01:44 PM

Do You Prefer All Uppercases?

**sabby** · 03-19-2007, 03:25 PM

Since we are still waiting on some scores, Round 2 has been extended to Friday, we do however, need to think of some kind of reward for those who got their scores in on time.

:@:Tenser : If I could change it, I would.
_________________________________________________
One time only deal to those of us (chubbs, dickysimpkins, wanman, tanc, and myself) if you want, your Round 2 submitted round can be replayed and submitted by Friday (it's a mulligan, take advantage of it).

**Kugyince** · 03-20-2007, 12:52 PM

I've submitted my next round to you Sabby.

May I make a suggestion that for now on all late submissions incur a one stroke penalty for each twelve hours it is sent in late?

**sabby** · 03-20-2007, 01:16 PM

That is definitely a consideration. There will be some changes made once the second round is completed.

**sabby** · 03-26-2007, 08:43 AM

Here's are Round 2 leader board

Here's the statistical leaders after Round 2

Thanks to BRODYMAN for making the stat board all purdy.

Go ahead and get your Round 3 scores done this week.

Good luck to all:thumright:

**Kong** · 03-26-2007, 10:22 AM

I am in the lead because I made the most improvement from round 1 to round 2? That doesn't really seem fair.

That's what happens with a handicap. It will eventually get smoothed out as you play more rounds.

**sabby** · 03-26-2007, 12:56 PM

Before I forget, there has been a rule addition/change for the remainder of the tournament.

Quote:

SUBMISSION OF SCORES:

All scores will be submitted by screen shot to the scoring committee. To create a screen shot, press the control and print screen button of the scorecard at the end of the round. Open up Paint (or similar program) and paste it there. The file should have the player's name and round number on it. Attach the file to a PM and send it to the scoring committee. Some of the games the scorecard will extend to two screen lengths. It is the responsibility of the player to make sure that the uppermost view and lowermost view are present. Examples of approved screen shots will be shown in each tournament thread. Due to continuing late scores being submitted, the following rule shall be strictly enforced. If your score is not submitted by the deadline time, you will be penalized one (1) stroke for it being late and an additional one (1) penalty stroke for every eight ( hours it is late beyond that. If you have accumulated up to ten (10) penalty strokes you will be disqualified from the tournament (not season).

HANDICAP:

Handicap will be the players average score less par (72). Handicap will be adjusted after each round. If a player's average score is under par (less than 72) their handicap will be 0. Penalty strokes will not effect your handicap. This means that if you get penalty strokes, it will be added after your score is adjusted by your handicap.

**tanc24** · 03-26-2007, 04:51 PM

I scored a 84 (+12) and a 77 (+5).

Does that mean my handicap for the 3rd round is an 8.5?

**sabby** · 03-26-2007, 06:10 PM

You have to get the full point. Even if you're at 8.9, still an 8 for handicap.

**tanc24** · 03-27-2007, 03:51 PM

OK, that makes sense. So right now, I'm an 8.

I have an idea/suggestion, too. I liked your idea about recording a keystroke video of a golf round.

How about everyone records the Fourth (Final) Round of play next week? That way, if we have some tight battles, we might be able to dig through the highlights/lowlights and see where the tourney was decided.

Might be a little labor intensive, but I'll volunteer my efforts. :top:

**sabby** · 03-27-2007, 05:23 PM

I've been trying to record a keystroke recording the last two rounds but to no avail. I'm going to try an animated gif this time. If any of you can get the keystroke to work, let me know.

**Kugyince** · 03-27-2007, 05:37 PM

I tried the keystroke with a Pass the Puck contest but it wasn't working right then. I don't think Kong has gotten around to fixing it yet.

I think a round of golf would take way too long for an animated .gif movie. It would be nearly useless if stretched that far.

**sabby** · 03-27-2007, 05:41 PM

Kong did it with an animated gif when we were experimenting with the tourney. If I remember correctly, it was separated into four parts.

**Kong** · 03-27-2007, 06:56 PM

Correct it took 4 animated gifs.

What is wrong with the keystroke? It does not save or does not play?

It saves and plays. But when you go to play it back the keystroke timing is off somehow and it messes up the replay. Remember wan's Astyanax submissions? We thought it was the Game Genie but it wasn't because it did the same thing for me. Check the puck thread out.

**Kong** · 03-27-2007, 07:36 PM

I thought it was just a one time fluke. I did not know it was happening with multiple games. Maybe it is caused by starting from a saved game.

**sabby** · 03-31-2007, 09:47 AM

Well gentlemen, it looks like someone is running away with the open.

Here are your statistical leaders after 3 rounds of play.

Well, this is the final round of the Open guys, Good luck.:thumright:
