The Leaguegaming Golf Tour (LGGT) Update

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for the positive feedback and great interest for the LT. PHJ and I are pumped to really get this league off and running and to make what we think will be the best golf league on the planet.

We've chatted some more and come up with new details and info on our tour that I think you guys will enjoy.

The game features 5 "themes",

1. Rural (like in the country)
2. Autumn (mostly the same as Rural but with a "Fall" looking theme)
3. Alpine (Mountains, pine trees ect)
4. Desert
5. Links (Think British Open, Cliff Side ect)

Our Tour will consist of 5 events in each theme, 1-4 then each will have a "Major" being the 5th course. We will most likely combine the Rural and autumn theme since they are similar. Also we decided that each week there will be 2 tournaments going on, There will be one "main" or "Featured" tournament then another for those who wish to play more. The 2nd tournament will not have as much points but still count towards your season total. Because in this game you can play alone and anytime, We figure there will be those who want more, and those who just want to play the main/featured tournament. With this setup we can achieve both. We are also most likely going to remove the "cuts" in a tournament and just open up the tournaments 4 rounds for the entire week. This is mostly because the game doesn't actually support cuts or dates, In the game we can only say our tour has "X" rounds in X Course. If we tried to add cuts we in vision a ton of people either playing their 3-4 rounds or playing it before the dates we posted in our intro thread.

So Season 1 will be 12 weeks, 1-3 in Rural/Autumn, 1-3 in Alpine, 1-3 in Desert and 1-3 in Links ect.

We've also come up with a point structure that will fit our needs, Its quite possible any given tournament could have 500+ players or it could have 50 players, Either way we need a point system that will work for both scenarios. What we have come up with, is everyone who plays would add +10 points to the pot. The more players, the bigger the pot. Then from there we divide out with a curve what each place would get. Example 1st might get 10% of the pot, 2nd 8%, 3rd 7% ect all the way down. Also everyone who plays and finishes will at least get points so playing will not be in-vain even if you are the worst guy in that tournament. Majors for example would have +20 points in the pot for each player. This system would allow us to scale a tournament fairly by the size of the field!

As for the courses we'll use the best courses out there but also take your suggestions and your courses for our Tour. If you have interest in creating a course please let us know and we'll check out your work. As the game comes out, we'll post a thread where you can post course recommendations for the tour.

Work on the scoreboard, features and mobile app is happening now gents!

Looking forward to seeing you guys out there!

 

Good question

So we dont want to wait on 2 or 3 users to try to get together for a match play cuz honestly, if there are 3 or 4, that might take a week. Also if there are 4 or more, it would be impossible to do match/playoff. So we will have some type of tie breaker from stats. Example maybe by eagles, then birdies or something. It would be possible that there are co-winners based on this though. It's not 100% ideal, But we believe better then the alternative.

 

The game doesn't support that, so that would mean a extra hole that we can't verify

 

That's a good idea. Might just use that!

 

Check posts #3 & #5

 

Another Good question, Probably 2 weeks or so, We might also need time for good courses to be built. The learning curve isn't too hard, except for putting since that is all feel.

 

This has been confirmed as false. Tours do not span different platforms.
