I found War Eagle!!
For ratings, I imagine all 4 Pro Tour rounds must count somehow? And then the last 25 rounds? Is there an official rating calculation somewhere online?
Also, can you drop "divisions"? Or if you make Pro, are you Pro forever?
**Also, regarding spitouts, I've had some more doozies recently. At least one hit the bottom of the basket and jumped back out, and one other managed to hit the pole and jump straight back out at me, Ricky Wysocki style. Throwing a bit too hard seems to be the biggest risk factor, and any time the wind is 3 or greater, putting nonsense is a possibility. I shouldn't complain so much, but one stole an eagle that would have put me at -13 for this week's tournament!

Pro Tour rounds count twice, so out of last 25 rounds, if 21 are multi, that is 21 data points. Each pro tour round would be 2, so that is 29 total rounds. Simply take average of those and divide by 29.
Yes you can go up and down divisions, based upon your latest round scores when the game updates.

The pro tour rounds only count towards your rating if they're also in your last 25
I guess it just seems to me like all four Pro Tour rounds SHOULD count toward each rating update. Lately I had been playing quite a few, so I rarely had more than 1 (if even that) count. I'll do a calculation myself and see if it's the same.
BTW, is 900 the cutoff for Pro?

I got put in pro at like 880-something.

Questions about the event:

What version of the game are we suppposed to play?

I think it would be nice if they would drop your lowest rated round when calculating your rating.
Last night while playing multiplayer I get stuck in a rock wall and ended up with a 13. That plus two other rough holes left me with a 355 rated round. The round before was 899 and the round after was a 942. My normal bad rounds are usually in the 600-700 rated area.
I wouldn't even mind if they dropped the lowest and the highest rounds when calculating ratings.
Or they need to add the option to "return to previous lie" after you have moved to new lie.

You can do this, right? You just have to pay close attention before reflex-clicking the "move to lie" button. Usually you can tell when it will be trouble before getting there, though not always. I need to make a note to myself to take advantage of this more...

There is the "re-throw" but sometimes it is hard to tell how bad the lie is going to be. In this instance I hit the wall then bounced into a river and couldn't really tell how bad it was going to be.

When in doubt (in a round that matters), hit rethrow!

Whichever version you are on - the tournament itself is just for fun - the competitino is a random draw from entrants.
We have a discord server which we will post up that people are more than welcome to join - those of us on the livestream won;t be on there though as we struggled to make this run as well as everything else in the livestream so we will only be picking up typed comments from the FB live.
There's kind of a shortage of good YouTube content on this game. DG finger flicker is a good channel and it's kind of interesting to see how he has improved month to month. I'd also love to see more "invitationals" with top players, especially where we can actually watch their game play.
This video is a must watch. It's from the previous version of the game, so you get to see some "inversions" and learn about the technique. I was also surprised by a few missed putts by the game's top players. (I suspect they weren't taking it too seriously since there wasn't much at stake.) At any rate, new players can pick up some tips on aiming, adjusting for wind, etc. Give it a watch! Plus, DG Comedy is always funny. No exception here.

The commentary isn't great because the guy doing it had obviously not played the game very much at the time he did it. The video is very well edited though, iirc.
On the FB page, there are a few people who have posted videos of themselves playing a multiplayer round with commentary. Some are pretty good (Kris Weathers, Herman Davenport), others medicore (mine)
