ANYONE CAN PLAY - INTRODUCTION
Nice to see Skinniepost log on WiiGA last week We hope things are going Ok for you .
It was also kinda spooky because as I explained to Kenw this is an idea given to me over a year ago by Skinniepost himself. So my second dream of having everyone play the same tourney is really Skinnies Dream
Without getting into it too deeply the handicap system we use at Bags was developed at Wiiga way back in TW10 days. Most of the hard work on testing being done by Kenw who compared 200 scores from season 3 of TW10 with 3 different variables. I meanwhile sat back with a coffee and suggested changes.
When TW11 first came out Skinnie said that instead of using handicaps to "level the Playing field" in AM we could all play the style we prefered and use that style to get a handicap that would enable all of us to play the way we want but in the Same competition with only 1 Leaderboard.
So in deference to Skinnie here it is the
ANYONE CAN PLAY TOURNEY
or to give it a full title
THE ANYONE CAN PLAY USING ANY OF THE 3 WIIGA STYLES HANDICAP TOURNAMENT
Season 4 finishes on Sunday January 15th so this event will take place between
Monday January 16th and Sunday January 22nd. 1 ROUND ONLY All wiiga rules apply regarding tourneys and styles of play
My compliments to whoever designed the Spreadsheet on Google Docs. The hard part in handicaps is gathering scores . I simply had to take the 5 best scores column of people on the spreadsheet in the 3 different styles and do a quick calculation. We thus have the following table showing your handicap in all 3 styles.
NAME | AM HCP | PRO HCP | TPX HCP |
MARK | -1 | -8 | -15 |
TAZMAN | 0 | -11 | NA |
KRYPTONITE | -2 | -16 | -19 |
DUDE | -5 | NA | -17 |
KENW | -5 | -10 | NA |
BATMAN | -2 | NA | -14 |
FIRESTRICKER | -6 | NA | NA |
DAVSKI | -4 | -13 | -12 |
JIMBOB | -10 | NA | NA |
WAYKNOW | -3 | -15 | NA |
JOECOOL | NA | NA | -17 |
MELLANODEREK | NA | NA | --20 |
TMANGROVE | NA | -9 | -12 |
Thus a player can play the course and settings Ken posts in whatever style they decide and because we use the handicaps they have in that style then we need 1 leaderboard only
So because Ive only played AM then my handicap will be -10 and I have to play AM
Jc only plays TPX so his handicap is -17 and he has to play TPX
Kenw has played AM and PRO so you have a choice which style you play and your handicap for that style is used. ie -5 in AM or -10 in PRO
Mark, Kryptonite and Davski however qualify to play any of the 3 stles - your choice men.
You simply decide which style you prefer to play, Play the 1 round using that style and subtract your handicap in that style from your score. We thus have 1 leaderboard to find the tourney winner.
Ive no idea how this will work out. Mathematically and Logically I can see no problem and everyone who enters should have a fair chance of winning. The proof however will be what happens in reality. If it does work then because the WiiGA seasons give us a fresh set of Data each time we could run this event again after season 5.
I said the title was ANYONE CAN PLAY but the handicaps are only for those who have played WiiGA Season 4. Ok people with a BAGS AM handicap can enter using that handicap ( same formula was used). I will add them to the list
Anyone else who would like to give it a go PM Ken or myself with your chosen style and we will assign you a handicap in that style. So here is the Updated Handicap Grid of those eligable to play so far.
No Sign ups needed just play the event if you want to starting January 16th

Oh by the Way my third dream was to have 20 players on a leaderboard like there used to be. Will it happen. Come on Folks there's plenty of life left in TW GOLF on the WII.
There are 19 players eligible to play so far can we make it 20. Games can be played at WiiGA or Bags
