Links 2004 Tour?

James_E · Post by **James_E** » Fri Nov 21, 2003 11:28 am

Hi guys. I was thinking of running a multiple tourney tour for Links 2004. Hell maybe I´ll even do mock prize money with a leaderboard and stuff.
 
 Post here if you are interested. It would be one tournament per week. I´m not sure what kind of stats I´ll keep or where I´ll put them, but I´ll work on something.
 
 Problem is I don´t really have PC access during the week for too much non-work stuff. (Other than quick checks of msg boards and XSN.) I only have it on weekends, and I travel Sunday nights back to Ottawa. Updates might be slow for that reason.
 
 Let me know if you are interested. Post your gamertag here.
 
 Beware: I´m still in the "feasibility" stages with this...
 
 DSP owners: any chance it could be a "DSP Tour" and we could post stats/leaderboards here at DSP?

I´d be down for it. I finally shot a decent round last night, so my interest in Links is renewed.

Yes yes YES! God bless XSN tournaments that you can get to at your own leisure.
 
 In other words, count me in. [ This message was edited by: Slumberland on 21-11-2003 10:30 ]

I´ll speak to the brass about getting a DSP Tour column going for the site. Heck, I´d join the tour if I was smart enough to figure out how! There is no FAQ simplistic enough to accomplish this task, apparently! I have a gamertag, and I´m registered with XSN, yet I see diddly, other than "New Tournament" when I go to XSN on Multiplayer options.
 
 I found the DSP Invitational tournament on XSN.com, but when I try to "join" the tournament there - it doesn´t show up in the search as a tournament to join.

Jonathan.... write down the name of the tournament, password and round settings for the DSP invitational.
 
 Go to XSN, select "New tournament". Follow instructions.... (You´ll have to enter the name.)
 
 Once you´ve done this once... it will be a tournament listed on your xbox when you go to XSN...

Thanks James... it let me in but it looks like my round of +4 isn´t going to count for anything. There are still 16 names on the leaderboard, and mine ain´t one of them. Wonder why it let me in, with the field full?

I´m in James...I love this game.

James_E · Post by **James_E** » Fri Nov 21, 2003 10:38 pm

Jonathan, there are 2 pages to the leaderboard. 32 players total. Some dropped out before playing any rounds, so I guess it let you in.
 
 FYI, I shot +31 in round #1. Had wicked case of the slices and could NOT shake it.

 There are two pages? How do I get to the second one? "Next" is grayed out when I try to click on it. There are only scores for 6 players shown on the one page I´m able to access.

 LOL... I can relate bro! I shot a 93 in intermediate last night against two other players - they shot 60 and 63 - guess they were tired of my act. Honestly, I don´t play that much better overall in Intermediate Vs Advanced. When I miss one in this game I flat shank it... and I mean bad - as in two fairways over bad!! <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_cool.gif">

 Sorry James... got my threads crossed. I´m talking about the one Leebo started.

After playing the game a bit more; I´m now wondering of playing this game with maxed out characters is really in the best interest of the game, and Links 2004 Tours. I played back to back foursomes (Advanced) last night with guys whose characters had a minimum of 29 points, up to 40 points. Most of them were making a mockery of the courses... and outdriving me by 80 to 100 yards with my 2 power point drives. I´m reluctant to add any more power points to my player because I think he hits the ball far enough with 2.
 
 I watched these guys carve the course up with all that power and control, and I wondered, can they really be enjoying this? Out of one foursome, we had two guys in the 50´s and the other a 62 at Oakmont and Championship Tees. I shot a 76 and didn´t feel like I belonged on the same course with them. Some of my bogies came as a result of missing "gimmie" putts (oh I how I hate two foot putts in this game! <IMG SRC="images/forum/icons/icon_smile.gif">
 
 I´m thinking about just leaving my character where he is at 9 points (2-3-2-2). Once I get my game down a bit better, I think this will yield a good challenge.
 
 What do you guys think about attribute point limits for a Tour?

Leebo33 · Post by **Leebo33** » Sat Nov 22, 2003 1:29 pm

I agree with limitations at a reasonable level. Man, I suck. I shot another +14.
 
 John, I got your invites just now on XBL but I declined because I don´t have Clone Wars.
