Here are the rules for the 13 th
Masters tournament. Please read them carefully and make sure you understand
them. I suggest you print them for future reference.
LINKS 2003 is the only Version that can be
USED for this tour. See below for changes when or if a New Version is released.
We will use The Mod ver 1.06 on select meets.
See Below for New Rule concerning
verification of games played on tour.
When Joining the Masters
Please use REAL Names only. Nicknames will not be allowed
YEAR END ELIMINATORS
EVENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
The top 8
Champ and Elite players, based on total players and the top 16
Pro players, will be invited to play in an Eliminator Event at the
end of the Tour. These top players will be decided by Money board amounts. Please only accept invitations to play if
you plan on following through. It is not fair to your opponent
if you are a no show.

RULE*******NEW RULE*********************************
On the Tours
Home page I have a link for LTS files.
Click the link
to get the files load them in you Links Dir located in My Documents.
Open Links go to Email under Play
open the link
and play the game. When the game is done you will be given the
Option to send me your email file
After I get the
file I will Post your scores. Score cannot be entered by you unless
you play on-line with another member
You will need to
reset your Player at the start of the YEAR and include your Players Pin file with each
email. Failure to send this file
will result in
the rd not counting. You can just send it as an attachment when the
email box pops up. Also because
this is Off-Line
you will be allowed only 2 resumes per rd. Anything over this and
the rd will not count. AGain this is only
a Trail and can
be stopped at anytime if things do not work out. Eliminators will still have
to be played
On-Line.
Instructions for finding and attaching your Players Pin File
1). The Masters tournament is split into three sections,
Elite, Championship and
Professional.
2). All tournaments consist of 24 Meetings, which are played from Jan-Dec of each
year.
3). Each meeting will consist of 4 games.
These Games can be played and reported in any order you like, as
long as they are all reported by the deadline of that meet.
It is not essential that you play the games in
the correct order. As long as you get all 4 scores to me by the meeting
deadline...
4). All 4 games must be played to qualify for the final leader board.
4a). Any player not completing one meet in
at least SIX consecutive meetings will be removed from the tour, however excused absences will not
prevent you from being removed from the money board. This is all
being done to keep the size of the mailing lists and the Money Boards down. It
will also help me keep the database to a more manageable size. :) Any
Players that have Donated to This Years Masters will Never lose their
player number, and will not be removed, however they will lose their
money if the following rule is not met. This will REWARD those players
that play week after week.
4b). Any player, that leaves a game before the game is completed and fails to
provide adequate reason, will be removed for unsporting conduct.
4c). All players should treat their partner(s) with the utmost respect (as they
would/should on a real golf course) and players that constantly abuse this rule
will be removed from the tour.
4d). Use of the Putting Assist. is
not allowed. Please turn it off in your players setting. A PRO MOP has
been created to use. Get
File HERE. For
Those that use Fast Play use this
MOP
5). Leader boards:
Leader boards
are updated immediately when you post your scores. However, if you
want to see where you stand after any given game you'll have to have all
previous games posted also. Otherwise you'll only see your posted scores listed
at the bottom under incomplete posts.
All player are responsible for posting their results before the final deadline.
If for any reason lsmasters.com server is down and you can't get your scores
posted before the deadline, you can email
the result to me.
6). Playing your games:
To play your game, you can play against any of the other Master tour
members. Regardless of the difficulty level that they play at (Pro, Champ or
Elite).
However, you must play (obviously) at the difficulty level that you were
assigned a start number for. If you have played your game already... and
somebody needs to get their game played... you are welcome to help them out.
However, only your FIRST score posted will count.
You can SPOT a player to help
them complete their rds. Spotters report their score as 00. Spotters
are required to report just like they were playing their rd, only
post the score as 00 instead of the score shot in the rd.
All games must be played using STROKE play.
All games must be played from the Tees and conditions set by the moderator in
the Masters Schedule.
The conditions and tees and pins will vary for all 4 games. Please make sure you
know what they are (go to
Tour Dates) before you start the meeting.
This will avoid confusion.
7). Results.
The results of your game must be posted using the Post
Scores link on the Masters home page.
BOTH players must post the scores of BOTH players games. This is
explained better on the Report page.
If You do not Post your score along with your partners score,
your score will be deleted, and only allowed when YOU report. REPORTING SCORES
IS MANDATORY.
*************************************************************
Create a player to use with each level you play and another if you spot for
others. Do not use your reg tour player to spot or for other tours games
1. A player for each tour Pro, Champ and Elite will need to be created to ONLY
be used for you games at The Masters Tour.
Please reset the players stats each meet, OR keep
them for the entire tour. Do not reset them if you want to keep your stats
for the year. Create your players using this format only (see
below)
Example MP038_Ted_B
If a player does not complete
the meet then it will have less holes but should be 18 holes per rd. This will
tell me if a person skips out on someone during a game or plays the rd more than
once. If a player skips out on you, email me and I can make a note of why your
Pin File will be off. If a player spots for someone use a diff player. Do not use your
Tour player to spot games. You now have the option of resetting your
player stats at the end of each meet. This will mean your Pin file will have 72
Holes played each time it is sent in.
2. All games played must be Verified at the end of the rd., and kept until the
start of the next meet. That means NO MULLIGANS. Name this file like this
MP###_rd#_M# Player Number, rd number, meet number.
Example MP038_rd1_M4 or MP038 rd1 M4
At the end of the meet I will select a few players by random to send me their
files. Players must
email the Zipped file to
lsmasters38@comcast.net
Zip the file using this format
MP###_M#_First name_last Initial Player number, and meet number.
Example MP038_M4_Ted_B
Within this file needs to be 5 files. Your Pin
File and 4 Verified files. Recording Games
will not be needed at this time
Using the putting assit means INSTANT Disqualification from that meet.
A 2nd offense will get you Banned
*************************************************************
8). All players are responsible for arranging times and dates of matches. These
matches must be played by the meeting Deadline, and the results posted before
the leader board deadline.
9). For each meeting you play, you will be awarded "Prize money". This
will be added into the money leader board, and will accumulate with each meeting
you play. The person with the highest figure at the end of the tournament will
be deemed the winner of the tour.
NOTE: This "Prize money" is for the purpose of building the tournament
leader board only. No actual prizes or monies can be won by playing in this
tournament, as it is a "fun only" tournament (this paragraph has been
added for legal reasons only).
10). Game rules:
a). Mulligans are Not to be used in the MASTERS, The Host MUST Turn them
OFF before the game starts. Any player reported using them will be removed.
b). Gimmies will be allowed at a dist of 24 inches
c). Chipping on the green (under a distance of 25 yds) is forbidden unless there is
fringe, fairway, sand trap or other obstacle which obstructs the path to the hole.
d). Dropping after going in a hazard.
When taking a drop after hitting into a hazard you can always select the drop location
that Links LS initially offers you.
Otherwise you can drop back as far as you want on a straight line using the "drop
back 50 ft. option" or you may drop the ball as close as possible to the position
from which your last shot was played.
You MAY NOT drop the ball on an entirely different line (in the middle of the
fairway at the same distance from the hole, for example) even though this is permitted by
the overly lenient logic in Links LS.
e). Dropping by declaring an unplayable lie.
You may, at any time, elect to drop the ball. Links LS will automatically assess a one
stroke penalty. In addition to the options described above under "dropping after
going in a hazard" you may drop within about 8 feet of your current position but not
nearer the hole.
The 8ft simulates "two club lengths" which is the regulation in real golf. Note
once again, that selecting a drop under these circumstance does not entitle you to drop in
the fairway at the same distance from the hole although the logic of Links LS would permit
such a dro
p
f). (NEW) use of the
pick-up ball option This will not be allowed in Masters Play. All
holes must be played out in full. In other words when the ball is in the cup the
hole is finished.
11). Meetings for tour # 13
The order of the 24 meetings of tour 13
can be found on the Tour
dates page.
12). All information pertaining to the tour will be posted on the web site or through the
mailing list.
13). The tour Moderator has the final say in any disputes
that may arise. This includes anything from a warning to removal from the tour
for disobeying the rules.
Players read the rules since 01/01/08
