I have to say that I am disappointed with the direction to not allow rewinds in future tournaments, since the technology platform that is the most likely to produce misreads is ProTee and I am a ProTee user. That leaves me, and other ProTee owners the option "deal with it" to address misreads.
It's clear that there are participants who abuse the rewind feature in tournaments It has been documented several times. I don't understand why some sort of automated review mechanism (software) has not been instituted to track the use of rewinds. I'm pretty sure that it could be done. That would remove the onus of manual review by tournament organizers to check for the legitimacy of scores.
What is telling is that the overwhelming number of votes for no rewinds comes from those with launch monitors that "never" have misreads. That of course makes sense. What doesn't make sense is that some of those people using these technologies are also those guilty of cheating. It's pretty blatant when participants with "no misread" monitors have multiple rewinds in a round. Guess these are the same guys who "fluff up" their lies on the course.
Is it really not possible to use a bit of software to highlight rewinds in tournament rounds?
