Controllers:
Joytech, MadCatz, and all other similiar 'advantageous' controllers not named are prohibited. Tournament Format:
XSGA Tournaments will run Monday thru Sunday. XSGA Tour Members must play each round with at least one other Tour Member. That member can either be participating in the same round, or "spotting" the round. Spotting is defined below. Members MAY NOT play their rounds out of order. That said, members can play their remaining rounds without having to wait for each round to advance.
Round Deadlines are as follows:
Round 1 - Thursday
Round 2 - Friday
Round 3 - Saturday
Round 4 - Sunday
* Scores must be submitted, and verified by 11:59 PM PST on the day of the deadline. All scores submitted AFTER the 11:59 PM PST deadline will not be allowed. Member(s) will receive a DNF (Did Not Finish) EXCEPTION: Any member who has been granted an extention by the XSGA Commissioner prior to the event. Submit/Verify Scores:
One player in your playing group will submit your round scores. A second member of your group will verify the scores. Disconnections:
If a member(s) is/are disconnected while playing an event round, each member must keep track of their score up to the time of the disconnection. Each member must take the score up to the point of the disconnection, and then complete the round. Sudden Death Playoff:
If two (2) or more players are tied for first at the end of four (4) rounds, they will compete in a sudden death playoff that will utilize the fourth round conditions. The playoff will start on the 10 th hole, and continue until a winner has been determined. Spotting:
Spotting is the act of playing a round with a member of the tournament in which you've already played yours. YOU CANNOT spot before you play your round. YOU CANNOT use it as a practice round. YOU CANNOT spot if you are not a participant of the current tournament. Any member spotting a round before playing, and posting a score for that particular round will incur a TWO (2) stroke penalty for that round. Sportsmanship:
Please use your best etiquette/manners when playing with other XSGA members. Harrassment of another XSGA member(s) is not allowed, and could result in a permanent ban from the XSGA. Banned Shots:
The XSGA Tour will not tolerate the use of shots that are considered a "programming glitch". I will be providing a list of shots that are considered a glitch.
As with any other rule (Controller ban, etc.), it is the responsibility of the member who played/spotted another members round to report it to XSGA Commissioner immediately.The member who broke the rule will be disqualified from the current event, and may face banishment from the XSGA as well. Failure to report the infraction will result in an automatic disqualification from the current event, and may face banishment from the XSGA.
