its your game, and i think its very fun lmao

I have a question...

On this course, making the cut and ending with +10 or over is a very real possibly for A LOT of golfers given the course.

IMO, the MC penalty should have been tougher as I think there is going to be quite a few golfers who make the cut and end with a +10 or higher. I mean shit the projected cut was +8 and there is only 3 players in the field under par.

I can already see it as a flaw in this challenge, the MC penalty should have been higher. Possibly have some sort of relationship to the projected cut line per tournament. Essentially in this challenge the penalty is only +2 for missing the cut. That's unacceptable A lot of the golfers chosen who missed the cut shot HIGH than +10. So they got a break for missing the cut? What up with that!

For example:
Luke Donald +11
Vijay Singh +13


The MC penalty should be changed per tournament as +10 for this US Open is NOT enough. People shouldn't be getting BETTER scores for missing the cut IMO. Maybe Projected cut + a number.


Two possible remedies I can think off. If you player misses the cut, add a +5 to there score (Or any other predetermined number, +8, +10, etc). So taking Luke Donald above as an example, he shot +11, missed the cut, his score for this challenege should be +16 then. A 5 shot penalty per golfer for missing the cut.

-OR-

Take the projected cut off each tournament, in this case the projected cut of the US Open was +8, take +8 and add a predetermined number to it like +10.

Don't worry Meatsticks, it's only your second hosting of this challenge and we're still ironing out the details. We'll continue to see what works and what doesn't to make this challenge as fair and accurate as possible for everyone. You're doing a good job, Keep up the good work!

or just state that the winner of this challenge could have no player miss the cut. once you have a guy miss the cut, your out

lol

I agree that the missed cut penalty should be more because if you look at the leader board right now there are players who made the cut that are worse than +10 right now. So just wonder how this works, if our player who made the cut finishes at worse than +10 does that mean that if he missed the cut we were better off??? Like said before i think it should just be like a +5 penalty to have a player miss the cut plus their score.

Nope max penalty is +10, so if a guy makes the cut and shoots +50 it's still counted as +10 so missed cut players are not given advantage

And I don't want to have it a horrible penalty for a missed cut, so it doesn't take anyone completely out of it just from 1 player missing

IMO, there is an obvious problem here. The people here who chose Rory, Vijay, and Luke Donald actually got BETTER scores for missing the cut because of the +10 MC penalty since they all shot over +10. (Luke and Rory are 1 and 2 in the world!) It needs to be revised. Take a persons score who missed the cut and add a +5 penalty.

I really don't like weighting every tournament and every course and every cut the same. It needs to be balanced in respect to the tournament and the cut, as this US Open is exploiting this flaw in the system. +10 is actually HELPFUL for some people. The system needs revised.

This is True

However Meatstick did set rules before tournament started and since none of your players missed the cut, along with none of mine it is unfair of us to ask for a rule change now. Just a point to not for future games.

So basically what you guys want is for people who selected a missed cut player to have essentially no chance?
