  • Tour Rules

    i just got back from Vegas and my club closed on Sunday. It's sim season and we are getting new players every day so I figured I'd repost this. Tour Rules

    Rules Sticky
    Purpose To offer an online league format that facilitates all that we enjoy about playing the Sport of Golf. To make Tournament settings on each round that compare

    Hi everyone. I think it's important to revisit the rules every now and then as we keep getting new players. Our tour is designed for everyone and every system. It's only for fun but like real golf, we have chosen to allow you to police yourselves. Also like real golf cheating will get you banned. If you are going to play, play by the rules. Everything else is managed by the game. Below are mostly settings.

    TGC Tour Rules

    Boost and other shot mods:
    +/- 5%. Most ProTee/ TGC supported systems have the ability to adjust your settings. This is from having sensor mats and tweaking them. For tour play, you are allowed to adjust any setting by 5%. This means you can add 5% max boost and decrease 5% spin. Believe me, 5% isn't going to change anyone's life. A 20 yard draw would draw 19 yards with 5% adjustment.

    Putting:
    The standard putting setting was 2. We set it this way because we believed the GC2 would perform fairly at that setting. We recently changed it to allow you to increase the setting so the ball will only go straight. It's your choice what you use. I use 2. Move the slider all the way over and aim with the pointer only if you choose.

    Gimmies:
    You have to set your system to a max of 1.8 yards. This is done by setting the Gimmie Setting to "Gimmie". If you want no gimmies, knock yourself out.

    Wind:
    We play without wind. You must as well.

    Shot Recording:
    Turn it on. You'll see SR in the standings. An X means it's off. We contact those who have it off but sometimes someone that isn't on the form enters a tournament. If it's off, you won't be included in any rankings.

    Rewinds:
    Obviously a big one. Some systems give errors and strange things happen. Here's some examples:

    Allowed:
    -A ball was in the FOV of your GC2 and you rolled another couple of balls near by and it read a 2 foot put.
    -Your protee said the ball you hit in the middle of your screen went 25 degrees right.
    -Your GSX said the ball went 20 yards and it was flushed into the screen.
    I think you get it.

    Not allowed:
    -Your putt lipped out but you think you hit it straight
    -Your bunker shot didn't clear the lip but you think it should have
    -You sliced it and it's behind a tree
    -You hit a 3 wood over water and it didn't make it but you once hit a 3 wood far enough to carry
    -You hit a 5 iron and it rolled over the green but you hit a 5 iron outside last week and it stopped
    -You hit it in the water and the game put you all the way back where you hit it from. Too bad.

    Have fun and play by the rules.

    Simple. 2 shots with the same yardage are either a rewind or stroke and distance. A look at the scorecard will tell you if it’s stroke and distance.

      It just seems like a lot of work to sift thru it manually. I see that's the evidence, but surely this tour isn't burdening a select few to detect rewinds and make judgement on them. Hats off to you all if you are. A LOT of work that isn't getting recognized

            Can anyone point me to the skytrak putting patch? I tried reinstalling the TGC interface, still says 3.0.0, no option for "straight putting".

                First, thank you for doing these tours...I LOVE it! I do get a little nervous which seems odd and understandable at the same time. Quick question...what time of day on Sunday does the round need to be completed. I am not complaining but I saw at least one score that got posted sometime after the server clock said midnight...again, I am just wondering. I am on EST BTW. Thanks again

                    mthunt just a quick question. I tried my first tournament this weekend after completing Q-school. Have to say it's a hoot. My question is about warm up. I use the Protee Sunday Range for warming up (not in the tournament section though) and noticed the shot recording is on for this as well. Does this interfere with the tournament games in any way? Or am I good to go warming up in this way.
                    Thanks

                      Shot recording records every single shot in a Sim. The recording has no impact on tournaments.

                      So are we playing for real money in these tournaments? If not that needs to be next step.

                        If you put up the money I’ll make sure the winners get it.

                          Well shoot - There is another "Rules" sticky - Can we remove or combine bc I am just seeing this new zero-tolerance rewind rule. I just started getting into the Tour (going through Q-School). I had some issues with my ST where every shot on one specific lie was sending everything left in my most recent round. I turned the ST to point way to the left so if I hit straight it would go right. It worked, so I put it back to normal and everything was fine after that. I used multiple rewinds before deciding to turn the hardware in the opposite direction. I had some additional misreads that round that I rewound and moved along.

                          Have I been banned? I am not seeing my 2 round score on the Major Q-School Event.

                          I hate that it has come to this point where we aren't allowed to use rewinds, but i understand. I would think that giving a max allotted rewind per round would have been the best case - I could use at least 2 per round on ST. These things aren't perfect, but when Im going up against a GCQ i just don't see how I can expect to stack up against that hardware.

                            Any of the higher end sims I suppose. But just to confirm, GCQ can't do third party apps, as in you can't play TGC? What does bluetooth have to do with that? ST works off WiFi - I assume Foresight products would do the same, no?

                            BT is encrypted or turned off on GCQ. It's open on GC2. TGC has a computer interface that reads the shot data via BT and sends it to the software.
