TGC Match Play - 2016 Open Flight

[mthunt]

Attached is the bracket. Here's the instructions and rules:

Step 1:
-Reach out to your opponent via Private Message on this forum.
-Set up a 2 hour window to play
-Please ensure your name in TGC is the same as it is in this bracket. If not, let your opponent know.
-Decide who is starting the game and inviting the other in the match

Step 2:
-Add each other as friends in TGC using TGC nickname
-This is done at the start up screen where "start server" and "start game" is by clicking the icon with 3 heads then add your opponent.
-Both have to do it

Step 3:
-decide on a method of communication
-You can text, whatsapp, teamspeak, phone each other or use the new discord method. If you don't agree, we default to TeamSpeak
-Here's TeamSpeak login

Server Address:
45.63.67.150:8011
Server Password:
***

Step 4:
-Both players enter TGC and go to main screen where you click play
-Both players need to set their handicap to 0. This is done by hitting play round then hitting edit on your player. There's a spot called "set handicap". Set it to 0 then save then back out to main screen if you are not the host..
-The host player now enters the match by clicking the little arrow in the first box that defaults to "Stroke Play". Set it to "Online Match Play" (has to be online) then "advance". Click "all courses" then enter the following course in the text box:

Pine Valley ProTee Championship Tees by Craig118

-start the round as you normally do then select "OPEN". You are in the lobby. Your playing partner should be listed there. Click on him and it'll invite him to the tee. Just start your game from there.
-Before hitting a shot, both players now need to click settings, turn order, set to on. This will allow you to see your partner play in real time. Other wise, you'll appear as a ghost ball. You can have it off if both agree. If you don't agree, on is the default.
-Everything should be automatic from there.

Step 5:
-Post on this thread who won.

Good luck and feel free to post any questions of PM me.

Haha! I'm never going to live the fox chapel thing down I think. No doubt, Pine Valley is for sure a great RCR. Craig is a wizard. Like I said, still a fun event. Thanks for putting it together. Looking forward to the next match.

Crap. Fox Chapel. That's what I meant. I like it.

Is there an update of the match play results?? did I miss something somewhere?

[mthunt]

Only 2 matches are complete.

[goatbarn]

Tim and I are trying to set something up for tonight.

[Wyzyguy]

Tkotts vs Wyzyguy has Tkotts with the win...

[Bubba22]

How was the match?

[Wyzyguy]

We never played. I am ill and didnt want to hold up the round

[goatbarn]

Goat vs Timdm3

Goat won, 3 and 2.

Great match Tim, was fun.

Tim came back at the end after being down 4. If it weren't for a couple of chip in birdies I had at the end of the front 9, things would've been pretty close! Also, considering Tim can't hit driver, that's a pretty long course.

Thanks again.

[goatbarn]

Thanks Tim.

Also, FYI, my wife is due in 8 days! So, not sure how any scheduled sim'in will go once the new guy comes. So, I hope to be able to play and not auto-concede. We'll see...

[MainStGolf]

Congrats on the new addition goat!

[goatbarn]

Thanks! Looking forward to rounding out my future 4-some. I'll have a nice 3-some right now with the 2 boys. Maybe a third is in order to have a healthy foursome group for the weekends.

[Cklguy2013]

Hey Keith are you good for a round tomorrow?

[mthunt]

Still to go in round 2:

keither/clk

Still these to go. Round 3 is 4 matches. I'm open to a course change. What do you guys think? Suggestions? Twin Peaks? lol

[DukeJF]

I'm cool with keeping it all an the same through as planned and not complicating it...but whatever we all want to do.

[Boo Radley]

Yeah, course change would be great!!

[goatbarn]

I'm down for a course change. Or not, pine Valley is pretty sweet. There are a lot of really nice courses tho.

[Brandon]

The course is fine with me but I'm fine with a change as well.

[ncube]

Penrose conceded after 12. I was up two at that point.

Cklguy and I had a great match. I played well but Cklguy played great and beat me 7-3 I think. We had connection issues that really need to be addressed. The game would hang and we couldn't get the discord app to work. If they can work out the issues, live play would be great. They really need to change live play for TGC2...... some people have suggested that you can address your shot while the other guy is addressing or taking his shot. I would suggest a pip of the other player so you can address your ball. This would greatly speed up play. I see this as having great potential though.
