The sixth annual BPA Pro Golf PBeM tournament will start on April 1st, 2016.
NEW IN 2016: Players will be allowed to pick which of the seven available
golfers they wish to use.
All entrants are required to be a member of the Boardgame
Players Association. See the BPA Website for details
about joining.
All games will be played using the Generic
module of ACTS. A sample of four holes is available as a Generic
Module on ACTS called Pro
Golf Test.
ACTS was kind enough to make the Generic module for use in this tournament.
Please show your appreciation by letting them know if you enjoy it and by
following all ACTS guidelines.
There are seven golfer cards which will be used in this tournament, the 2005
version of Shigeki Maruyama, the 2004 versions of John Daly and Sergio Garcia,
the 2007 version of Ernie Els, the 1984 version of
Ray Floyd, as well as the 1981 versions of Curtis Strange and Johnny
Miller. These golfers are fairly equal in skills and you may pick which
one will be your player. These seven
golfers (and a second putt card) are available to you on the Golfer Webpage.
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 Arrowhead Park 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 Mark
Yoshikawa.
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).
