Popular Post GolfSpy_BEN Posted April 21 Popular Post Share Posted April 21 After a brief offseason, the VCT is back!!!!! Buckle up buckaroos, we have some changes to the format. Here are the pertinent details: Start Date: 4-22-24 End Date: 10-6-24 The season will run 24 weeks for season 3, rather than a full calendar year, unlike season 2. End of Season Tournament: 10-14-24 through 11-3-24 For the offseason, we will still have a weekly leaderboard for those that live in year-round golfing climates, but the main competition for next off season will be a SIM league we are developing that will run through the winter months. Details to come. Format Change: We are instituting a Flight System, and will breakdown as follows: Flight I - + to 5 Flight II - 6 to 10 Flight III - 11 to 15 Flight IV - 16 to 20 Flight V - 21 to 25 Flight VI - 26+ How are the flights determined? To avoid any confusion regarding course handicaps or allegations of sandbaggery, with each round posted we will be asking for the following information: Member Name Course Name Gross Score Course Slope Course Rating # of Actual Eagles or Birdies Longest Drive Distance The gross score, slope, and rating will be added to a spread sheet each week and after week 5, each participant that submitted enough rounds will be given their VCT handicap and assigned to one of the flights above. Once the flights have been established, a scoring system will be used to give points to each member based on where their best score places them within their flight for the week. Also, there is a wrinkle I have decided to add: We will have in season Promotion and Relegation within the flights. Each golfer gets 2 passes, where they exceed their handicap i.e. a Flight III golfer shoots a PB 74, without consequence. After the 2 passes are used, a PB round of 74 would earn them a promotion to Flight II. Conversely, there will be 2 passes for blow-up rounds, after which a golfer will be relegated to a lower flight, i.e a Flight II golfer posts an 89, after using their 2 passes they would be relegated to Flight III. A fascinating sidebar to this will be watching members rise through the flights, as their games improve over the course of a season, so there will be a trophy room badge given in the EOS awards for the highest riser. There will also be weekly badges given in each flight for top finisher, # of actual birdies or better, and longest drive. However, we have done away with bonus points for the birdie or long drives. The points for the season will be based solely on finishing order within each flight. A points standings will be made available with the flight results each week. Caveat: We are still working with the developer on the getting the submission form the way we want it, so the first couple weeks may look similar to last season. I would ask that each score that is posted contain the course slope and rating. I will also accept combined 9 hole scores, as long as each nine has slope and course rating included. Lastly, welcome back!

Tomorrow at 9am, the thread for week 1 will be posted in the MGS virtual golf tournaments section of the forum. There will be an option to post score. Follow the prompts and hit submit. Your score will be posted to a leaderboard and you will be an official member of VCT. For reference, weeks from previous seasons are available in that section as well. If you have any questions when you go to post your round, feel free to ask and I or another member will be happy to answer them. Good luck this season!

Preeway Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 If we have an established GHIN, can they be used to determine one’s starting flight? Are you using last years scores to determine starting flight? Or are we waiting until week 5 to determine flights?

Mr. Mushball Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) Interested to see how this goes. I've had two good scores over the last few weeks that I've been hoping to put up, but no place to put them! Next week should be even better to start with.

Golf2Much Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Great format @GolfSpy_BEN! Your modifications and updates should just add to a really fun online competition. Looking back on season one, it’s easy to see the impact of those involved in VCT’s overall maturity and growth. Looking forward to participate and watch this season unfold.

buckpillar Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 16 hours ago, GolfSpy_BEN said: After a brief offseason, the VCT is back!!!!! Buckle up buckaroos, we have some changes to the format. Here are the pertinent details: Start Date: 4-22-24 End Date: 10-6-24 The season will run 24 weeks for season 3, rather than a full calendar year, unlike season 2. End of Season Tournament: 10-14-24 through 11-3-24 For the offseason, we will still have a weekly leaderboard for those that live in year-round golfing climates, but the main competition for next off season will be a SIM league we are developing that will run through the winter months. Details to come. Format Change: We are instituting a Flight System, and will breakdown as follows: Flight I - + to 5 Flight II - 6 to 10 Flight III - 11 to 15 Flight IV - 16 to 20 Flight V - 21 to 25 Flight VI - 26+ How are the flights determined? To avoid any confusion regarding course handicaps or allegations of sandbaggery, with each round posted we will be asking for the following information: Member Name Course Name Gross Score Course Slope Course Rating # of Actual Eagles or Birdies Longest Drive Distance The gross score, slope, and rating will be added to a spread sheet each week and after week 5, each participant that submitted enough rounds will be given their VCT handicap and assigned to one of the flights above. Once the flights have been established, a scoring system will be used to give points to each member based on where their best score places them within their flight for the week. Also, there is a wrinkle I have decided to add: We will have in season Promotion and Relegation within the flights. Each golfer gets 2 passes, where they exceed their handicap i.e. a Flight III golfer shoots a PB 74, without consequence. After the 2 passes are used, a PB round of 74 would earn them a promotion to Flight II. Conversely, there will be 2 passes for blow-up rounds, after which a golfer will be relegated to a lower flight, i.e a Flight II golfer posts an 89, after using their 2 passes they would be relegated to Flight III. A fascinating sidebar to this will be watching members rise through the flights, as their games improve over the course of a season, so there will be a trophy room badge given in the EOS awards for the highest riser. There will also be weekly badges given in each flight for top finisher, # of actual birdies or better, and longest drive. However, we have done away with bonus points for the birdie or long drives. The points for the season will be based solely on finishing order within each flight. A points standings will be made available with the flight results each week. Caveat: We are still working with the developer on the getting the submission form the way we want it, so the first couple weeks may look similar to last season. I would ask that each score that is posted contain the course slope and rating. I will also accept combined 9 hole scores, as long as each nine has slope and course rating included. Lastly, welcome back! Let's make this the best season yet!!!! @GolfSpy_BEN I like the new format and hope it makes life easier on you compiling the information week to week.

MIGregB Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 @GolfSpy_BEN, I did think of one rookie question. But since I am, I'm not too embarrassed to ask . How contemporary should the rounds be for posting? Those played just that week? Up to the week prior? I can imagine there's more leeway for the 1st week, especially for those of us in the north who have to dodge rain/snow/cold in the beginning. But what's the guidelines?

Thanks, The round being posted should be played within that week. For example, this week (week 1) goes from Monday (today) until Sunday. The round being posted should occur within that window. There is a prompt for the date of the round within the form and it will allow you to back date a round within that window. For example, you play today and post the round on Wednesday, you will be able to indicate that the round occurred today. If that makes sense.
