Tournament
Format:
1) The tournament format will be three rounds. The first round will
be in April, the second in May and the third in June.
2) The first round will occur in April (month of the Masters) and thus
will use the 2002 Augusta National course.
3) The top 2/3 of the field (rounded up) will survive the first cut and
play a second round in May (month of the Memorial) and thus use the Muirfield Village course.
4) The combined score of the first two rounds will be used to determine
advancement to the third round by 1/3 (rounded up) of the initial field
size. The third round will be played in June (month of the U.S. Open) and
thus will use the Pebble Beach course.
5) The
combined score of the three rounds will be used to determine the Champion and
other Laurelists.
6) Any ties will be resolved using a 3-hole playoff on the 2002 Augusta National course. If still tied, another three holes will be
played.
7) There will be a one month time limit on each
round. A round not finished in that time frame will result in the player
being disqualified from the competition.
8) As rounds are completed the scores with be posted on the Tournament Scoreboard. However, scores are
not official until they have been double-checked by the GM.
Your GM (Bruce Monnin) will be
participating. Any games involving the GM will be administered and ruled
upon by the assistant GMs Rob Drozd
or Chris Kizer.
The tournament
will be using the 1st Edition Rules which
came with the sets containing the original Augusta Masters course. Ignore
the Optional Rules.
Please
familiarize yourself with the ACTS module before using it. There are a
couple of procedural hints which must be followed:
1) Always clearly declare your die rolls before you make them (i.e. - 1st
Hole, 2nd Shot, SI)
2) Anytime an improper number of dice are rolled, the roll is voided and
all dice must be rerolled.
3) Adjust your Holes Completed and Total Strokes values after each hole.
4) Hit the End Turn link after each hole so that the Turn matches with
the hole number you are playing.
To sign up,
email the GM (Bruce Monnin).
