2026 WBC Pro Golf Tournament Format

Pro Golf – WBC 2026 Notes

 

Almost the same as 2025!!

1)      If the Skins game goes beyond the scheduled 12 holes, only the players who tied on the 12th hole will move on to the 13th to contest the available Skins (and so on for future holes).

2)      Automated spreadsheet will be used to resolve ties for Top 6 positions.

 

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 after these 18 holes will advance to a Final Four Skins Game (played off the auction stage!)
6)  Any ties among the Top 6 will be broken by playing an automatic round at Augusta using the GM provided automated spreadsheet.  Should there be a failure of technology, there will be 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.  Only the players who tied on the 12th hole will move on to the 13th to contest the available Skins (and so on for future 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.
