X-Box Live Links 2004 Tournament

[HaemishM]

So all this talk about golf in the other thread has reminded me that we need to do an X-Box Live Links 2004 Tournament of some kind. I've been reading up on it and wanted to see the interest. We have many options:

1) Match play or stroke play (and if stroke play, do we want there to be a cut)?
2) 2-4 Rounds
3) Fast Play (Allows everyone to play at the same time, so you don't have to watch other people and wait for your turn)
4) 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64 participants (I'm expecting no more than 8)
5) The Course (Only free courses, either the defaults ones, the ones unlocked later, or the ones you can download on XBL for free)
6) Number of days between rounds (Between 1-7 days between each round)

Who is interested? In order to play, you'll need to sign up on XSN Sports (I think) and link it with your XBL account. Oh, and you'll need Links 2004 for the X-Box, which you should have anyway unless you hate golf games. Post in this thread your XBL name and your preferences of the above questions if you are interested.

I'm all signed up at XSN. Given the..."success" of the other league. Maybe we should try and keep it simple with 2 full rounds with a week between them.  Any course is fine. We'll probably have 4-6 people.

I look forward to getting thrashed as I don't have my saved characters on my new xbox.

[MrHat]

I'd get on this if it started after the 10th of August.

[HaemishM]

I forgot to mention put a good starting date for this. We could do a 2-3 rounder one night a week for 2-3 weeks.

[schild]

If it's after August 10th, I can't compete. Whatwith moving to Arizona and all that. But if I'm correct, you can play your round any time during the week alotted, doesn't have to be the same time as everyone else. Right?

[WayAbvPar]

I am down for any format. I will have to break out L2k4 and start practicing again 

AFAIK, you can play your rounds (if it is stroke play) any time during the allotted period. I would assume that match play requires both players to be present.

Anyone down for a practice match or two? Send me a game invite if you see me on.

Just do what I do, instant move of internet from point A to point B.  It's on and the first thing I plug in when I get to my new place.

If thats true I'd be up for this.  The spirit is willing, but the schedule is weak, thus a format where you basically have a week to a play a round at your choice of times would be ideal.

Played a few rounds this weekend to reaquaint myself with the game- wow, am I rusty. Low round was 66, high was 80 (!!!). I have been stuck on the same goddamned tournament FOREVER- I refuse to go forward until I win it. Didn't make the top 5 all weekend long. Ugh.

[HaemishM]

Ok, I set up a tourney for 8 players, starting next Monday, July 18th and ending Saturday, July 30th. Post your gamertag on this thread if you want to participate. It is a 2-round Stroke Play tourney at Greywolf. Once I get your gamertag, I can send out the invites by email. It will probably direct you to the competition page.

Go to XSN Sports and sign up for an account. That will allow you to get into the tourney.

so, we have to play 2 rounds within those 12 days? Is that how this works? Or does everyone have to play at the same time? Also, I found the Bat Country tournament, but I needed a password to sign up.

[HaemishM]

I'm still figuring out how this shit works.

I like Greywolf- I think I have shot some of my lowest scores there.

OTOH, I fucking hate Aviara. The goddamned greens there are just torturous.

[Shockeye]

I don't have Links 2004. I'm sick of being the whipping boy, so I doubt I'll pick it up and suck my way through the tournament.

[WayAbvPar]

You can probably get it for >$20 by now. Get busy!

Sure it's cheap, but I refuse to showcase my suck.

I'm all set. XBL: Shockeye

Send me an invite, y0.

[HaemishM]

Goddamnit, I'm an idiot.

The password is 1006971.

[HaemishM]

Oh, and make sure you register your gamertags at xsnsports.com. That way I can invite you by gamertag.

I did. Invite me!

Competition: Bat Country   Stroke Play
Competition begins in 5 days! Password: 1006971

Looks like I got in.
 

[Shockeye]

I have yet to get in. 

[HaemishM]

Just got invites sent to Shockeye and Way. Need 4 more players.

[HaemishM]

Also, you will need a settings password for each round. When you enter the tournament through the XSN Sports button on X-Box Live, you'll be asked for the tourney name (Bat Country) and the password (1006971). Then you will have Bat Country listed under your tournaments section. Select it, and it will ask for the Round Setting.

Round 1: ZTNK37F
Round 2: WD5LSG5

I think that's all that's needed. If we don't get anymore than 4 by Sunday morning, I'll probably have to delete this tourney and create a new one with 4 players. If that happens, I'll post all the right info this Sunday, set to start the same days.

[Shockeye]

Joinage.

[WayAbvPar]

Is the invite via email or through XBL?

[HaemishM]

I think through XSN Sports site.

[Shockeye]

schild and I played some golf last night. I had quite a bit of fun and found myself enjoying the game. I look forward to losing to all of you.

[schild]

Come now, we both got 2 birdies on the "hardest course."

We also had it on beginner.

[schild]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[WayAbvPar]

Ok I found the invite. Holy mother of God that site is fucking slow. I should have the invitation accepted by Labor Day, at this rate.

I see it is set for Intermediate Difficulty- I don't have any golfers for that level! Fuck.

[schild]

Neither do I. I have to play a...lot tonight.

[WayAbvPar]

I spent last night grinding out a couple of tourneys to improve my Advanced golfer. I was en fuego too- had 2 double bogeys and a bogey, and still shot 6 under!

Guess I am starting an Intermediate guy. Next tournament, let's make it advanced for extra pain.

Shockeye- I would recommend that you practice on Advanced- once you get used to that, the rest of it will be easy.

I just realized, no.
