Boardgame Players
Association |
The third annual BPA Pro Golf PBeM tournament will start on April 1st, 2012.
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 can be found on ACTS. It
is 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
versions of Shigeki Maruyama and John Daly, the 1984 version of Ray Floyd, as
well as the 1981 versions of Lee Trevino, Curtis Strange, Bruce Lietzke and Johnny Miller. These golfers are fairly
equal in skills and one will be randomly assigned to you at the start of the
tournament. 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.
2) The first round will use the used at the Lancaster
Host course used in the WBC Skins game.
3) The top 2/3 of the field (rounded up) will survive the first cut and
play a second round on the Muirfield
Village course.
4) The combined score of the first two round
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 on the scene of my
high school athletic glory, the Arrowhead Park 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 three week 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).
