Pro Golf – WBC 2023 Notes
Same as 2022!!
1) Recognizing the challenges of
an aging field, there will be new, larger golfer cards printed with a larger
font.
2) We are returning to Augusta
National this year to once again take on The Masters! Pebble Beach will be used for the
championship Skins Game.
Background
It is an event that draws people who have rarely played games before, as
well as members who have played games 14 hours a day since the first Avaloncon
in 1981.
It is an event where Lisa Gutermuth, Pete Stein, Sean McCulloch, Debbie
Gutermuth, Chris Kizer, Mark Yoshikawa and Thomas Browne prove yearly that none
of them can roll actual dice as well as they roll online dice.
It is an event mastered by two-time champion David Metzger, though there were
19 years between his two victories.
It is an event Harry Flawd can win and not remember it the next morning.
It is an event that makes Don Greenwood shake his head in wonder at the human race.
It is PRO GOLF!!
Tournament
Format
1) The tournament will be played with all the 1st Edition Rules, which
came with the sets containing the original Augusta National course.
2) The tournament will consist of two rounds.
3) Round #1 will be played on the 2002 Augusta National course. Each group in this round must have at least
three players.
4) There will be a 75 minute time limit to finish the first round (rounds
must be reported to the GM by 12:30 to be eligible to advance).
5) The top 4 players (5 if necessary) after these 18 holes will advance
to a Final Four Skins Game (played off the auction stage!)
6) Any ties will enter a sudden death playoff beginning on the first hole
of the Muirfield Village course.
7) The Skins Game will be played on the first 12 holes of the Pebble
Beach course.
a) Whenever a player's final position is guaranteed,
they will be removed from the rest of the Skins game.
b) Extra holes will be played until the final Skins
are earned if there is a tie on the 12th hole. No new Skins will
accumulate from these extra holes.
8) All course booklets and golfer cards will be available from the GM
only. No one will be permitted to use their own course booklets or
golfers.
Rules Clarifications
1) The tournament will be played with all the 1st Edition Rules, which
came with the sets containing the original Augusta National course.
2) This means we will not be using the Trouble or Gambling rules.
3) The Second Edition rules allow the players to ignore the parenthesized
negative modifiers to shots if they roll doubles. This rule will NOT be
used.
Strategy
1) Roll lots of high numbers.
2) Whenever given the option to lay up or go for the green, always GO FOR
THE GREEN.
