SimGolf and Commoners Cup 2021 Kickoff
Welcome to another season of SimGolf! We are proud to announce two new Ryder Cup style events that will be run this fall, the SimGolf Cup and the Commoners Cup. All of the events below will be played in TGC2019.
The SimGolf Cup will be the top 20 players determined by qualifying split into two teams of 12. One team will be captained by MLoga and RandomHero and the other team will be captained by Bender and Raayz. This event will not be handicapped.
The Commoners Cup will be open to all participants who complete qualifying (other than players competing in the SimGolf Cup). One team will be captained by triplebogeysrbetter and the other team will be captained by rmsanger. This event will not be handicapped but captains will use handicaps established in qualifying to make matches as fair as possible.
Schedule
Both cup events will consist of 4 weeks of qualifying and 4 weeks of competition. All qualifying rounds will be played in the SimGolf society.
| Event | Dates | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Qualifying Round 1 | Monday Oct 11 – Sunday Oct 17 | Stroke Play |
| Qualifying Round 2 | Monday Oct 18 – Sunday Oct 24 | Stroke Play |
| Qualifying Round 3 | Monday Oct 25 – Sunday Oct 31 | Stroke Play |
| Qualifying Round 4 | Monday Nov 1 – Sunday Nov 7 | Stroke Play |
| Cup Round 1 | Monday Nov 15 – Sunday Nov 21 | 4-Ball Match Play |

| Cup Round 4 | Monday Dec 13 – Sunday Dec 19 | Singles Match Play |
Qualifying Events
Qualifying will consist of 4 weeks of single round events played in the SimGolf society. For each qualifying event, the place a player finishes in stroke play against the field compared to all other players who registered for qualifying will determine the number of points the player receives for that event. For example, if 50 registered players play an event, the player that finishes first will receive 50 points. Players that finish in 2nd place will receive 49 points, and so on. The top 3 event scores will be used to calculate a player’s final qualifying position with the worst event score being thrown out. In the event of a tie for the final qualifying spot, the tie will be broken with wedges at Buckthorn.
All players who wish to compete in either cup must register and complete at least 3 qualifying events. See the link below for the registration form.
Cup Events
The captains for both cups will be responsible for drafting teams, selecting matchups, and making sure that their players play matches or find suitable subs. Captains will arrange matches for each weekly event. It is highly encouraged to play cup matches live against opponents. Cup events will be played in a Ryder Cup-style format with each match being worth 1 point. The team with the most points at the end of the Cup is the winner. In the event of a tie, there will be a tie-breaking match between the captains.
Rules
Playing with unapproved settings will result in your disqualification from both qualifying and cup events. Acceptable settings are listed below:
- Gimmies – 6 ft
- Straight Putt – On or Off
- Boost – 0% on all clubs
- Short Chip Correction – On or Off
- Green Settings – any

GSPro Scramble Kickoff
The Simgolf GSPro Fall 2021 2 Man Scramble will be a single elimination tournament with a pre tournament round to determine bracket seedings. All tournament rounds after the initial seeding round will be match play. We do not have a way to enforce game settings, so this will be an on your honor tournament. To reduce the number of issues, please make every effort to play against your opponents in a live online match.
Scoring
All matches will be played as match play with no handicaps. For matches played live, please let @rmsanger know the winner of the match. For other matches, please submit a screenshot of the final scorecard to @rmsanger. If you run into issues during gameplay and need to exit/resume, please capture the scorecard up to the last played hole. Start a new match and play the remaining holes. Send the screenshots of all scorecards and we will combine for a final score. To reduce risk of issues, it would be advised to capture a picture of the scorecard after each hole.
How to take a screenshot using Windows snipping tool.
In the event of a tie, the USGA Method (Last 9, 6, 3, 1) will be used to determine a winner. If the teams are still tied most birdies, most eagles or better, then fewest bogeys will be used to break the tie. In the unlikely event the teams are still tied, a coin flip will determine the winner.
Tournament Structure
The tournament will be six rounds long including the initial round used to determine bracket seeding. There are 24 teams registered, which means the top eight teams will receive a first round bye. An example bracket is shown below, where the top eight teams from the seeding round will have a round one bye. After the seeding round is complete, the official bracket will be posted to the website.
