     Hi . Paul here . Hope you are having a gr8 2015 . Please read through these threads . There are a couple links throughout . I invite you to take a look . Many improvements . For 2015 and more to come .

     Before I go on . I have created a page in our website that I have embedded the Saturday and Sunday brackets in . With the chat right in between them .

     These brackets run in real time . Which means when you look at them they are exactly current with the tournament . ( clarify real time once the tournament has started all the way through until after the finals and it has ended and the final results are posted ). So we are able to be right there in the chat and look right at the bracket and know where it stands . 

     So you can view in real time the progress of the brackets , the courses , the conditions , your opponents , the other match ups . right there in front of you . No going back and forth from the bracket to the chat . No more waiting for the host to tell you your match up , the course , etc , No more waiting until the host returns to the chat and have to wait for him to type in all of the individual instructions .

      You now can figure it out , most of it , yourself . The host , admin , me still has to start and stop each round and post all final scores .When the tourney starts . The two opponents then know who they are ( the bracket changes right before your eyes ) . They then decide who sets and invites  . One of them goes to WGT and sets and invites and the other one goes to the WGT game client lobby and waits for the invite .  But the clarity , the efficiency , the convenience of this is incredible .

      I am amazed . I had never even heard of anything like it until I created it here . I am sure It happens all over the place .In other sports too besides WGT golf . All I saw was something that said embed your brackets in your website . That even took me a while to figure out .

     Thanx

     Paul

       Current events include :

        Saturday Matchplay in the SUN via " challonge " . Every Saturday .

        Sunday Sunstroke via " challonge " . Every Sunday .

         Game times are usually the same Sat & Sun . Usually 2:00 PM PST = 3:00 PM MST = 5:00 PM EST = 7:00 PM UK . Check in both @ " challonge " and @ "votscc " begin 1 hour prior  .

          Matches Feb 7 & 8 will begin at 12:00 PM MST = 7:00 PM UK to make a reasonable time for our UK friends . Back to regular times following that weekend .

        Both events require registration @ " challonge " (free ) .http://challonge.com/

         Registration @ http://valleyofthesun.forumotion.co.uk/ . Used as the pre game check in prior to matches . 

         And as I have created a web page with the real time brackets running in front of you . The chat room is also there with every one to view the match ups , courses , and for each opponent to communicate with each other once the tournament has been started.

      All matches are played in WGT (the only game in town ) .

      Each match up must be able to talk with one and other to agree on who sets and invites while the other waits in the WGT lobby for the green invite .

      E1 must be green (available ) and must use their WGT username to be able to accept and invite .

       We just completed our 5th week , 10 tournaments . Not going to lie . It hasn't been easy . Gets better each week .

        If you would be intersted in receiving invites for either Saturday or Sunday or both . Please let me know . 

        All sign ups , registrations , events are free and are non commiting in any way. With the exception of general politeness and sportsmanship in all events and regarding expectation that if signed up for an event . If unable to participate , some sort of heads up sometime prior to the event is requested .

        Think about it . Let me know .

      BTW my site is not affiliated , connected , related to WGT or WGT CC's in anyway .

      I have quite a few members from other CC's and a few not in CC's .

      No strings attached , no commitments . Only benefits . To access what ever features interest yourself now and as it expands and adds more in the future .

    We are so still in the building mode . Got a good group of guys now that at least play in our very cool CC tourneys . But that's about it . There are a handful of us that have created some other cool events ie, Saturday and or Sunday match, stroke , and alt shot tourneys via " CHALLONGE" embedded in my webpage so you can view the tournament live from the chat . Works out incredibly well . We also run a daily BLITZ . It is awesome . Last week a guy ROBMURPHY4 ( view scorecard @ http://valleyofthesun.forumotion.co.uk/portal?pid=2 ) came within 11,000 points of having a 1,000,000 point week . Incredible and awesomely fun . Not to mention the improvement in ones accuracy playing a daily BLITZ .

    But a handful of guys is just not enough . I am hoping i can encourage a few more of you who have a little more time and desire to play just a little more than just CC tourneys . Our events are already established , well,made , professional and fair . 

    I invite you to come and take a look at both our WGT CC and our awesome website 

  http://www.wgt.com/clubs/valley_of_the_sun_casual_club/default.aspx

    Please just take a look . I am sure you will like what you see . I make no demands . I am just asking a little more interest in CLUB events . Not just CC tourneys .

    Just to tell you up front . There are 3 requirements or conditions to join our CC .

    1) Participate in CC tourneys no minimum but enough so I know you are there .

    2) Message the owner ( me ) once in a while so I know you are alive . ( again no minimum just a respectful " hey buzz off " now and then . Ignoring is not tolerated .

    3) Register in our free awesome website that has a little something for everyone .

    That is it . We have a lot of fun . We are all good friends . And welcome you to take a look and see for yourself .

    Thanx

    Paul

    I'm gonna bump a little more often . Hopefully more of you will come take a look . I am going to start the Spring Multiplayer , Multitournament  Season soon . These will be a group of Saturday tourneys comprised of  matchplay , strokeplay , alternate shot tournaments played via " CHALLONGE " on one of my webpages embedded with various ladder type brackets . These tourneys are just for fun for multiplayer enjoyment amongst players you soon know and respect . Not exclusive to our CC members . Any WGT member belonging to or not belonging to a WGT CC are encouraged to participate in these fun events . 

    I am currently recruiting and invite all to take a look at our CC and our website . (above) .
