    Hey all! We've been missing some friendly competition, so I've created a Tournament for Midi Golf. 8 players, 2 tries each. May the best duffer win!

    IIRC...

    Go to "Arcade" via the menu bar link. On the sub-menu bar there will be a link for "Tournaments"...click it. The resulting page will have a list of "Active" tournaments and "Waiting for Players" tournaments. We're currently under the latter list, but will move up to the Active list once we fill up all the slots.

    There will be a "See this tournament" link at the left of our tournament's listing. Click it to go to a page that lists the brackets & results. You will see who your opponent is, what their score(s) are so far, how many tries they have left, days remaining to play, etc....as well as the same data for yourself. Under your name there should be (at the appropriate time), a "Play Now' link. That is the one you'll click to initiate a Tournament Game for yourself.

    In this tournament you get two games per round, and move on if your best score is better than your opponent's best score. I think you have a week per round to complete your games.

    Hey you still hold the top spot with 33! Imagine how I felt drawing the Mini-Golf champion in the first round! If I don't make to the next round I hope you and Tex (the first member to score 33) get to square off against each other somewhere down the line.

    Wow! At a minimum that's four hole-in-one shots coupled with fourteen hole-in-two shots! :shock:

    Looks like things are well under way. Dan is the hard-luck golfer so far, while Paladin and Dual II appear to be the sacrificial lambs!

    I had a God awful first round after about 9 practices where I didn't go over 39. Oh well, looks like Paladin might not know how the scoring in Golf works. ;)

    Yeah, I made the mistake of playing my VERY FIRST game in the tournament. I can do a little better now, but I'm nowhere near 39.

    I predict I won't be the winner of the tournie. :sob:
