The Internet has made it possible for Golfers to come together in one place, throw a few bucks in the pot and compete with other Golfers from All over the World on a DAILY basis!
We are introducing two new concepts. How we make the teams and how we compare scores across geographical boundaries and skill levels!!
We are saying:
Adjusted score is stroke play minus THE COURSE RATING!, minus players handicap equals the Net score for the Big Blitz. That is different from traditional Golf thinking which uses the PAR of the course instead of the Course Rating. Using Course Rating changes the dynamics completely of how scores are viewed. Traditional scoring says Adjusted score is equal to stroke play minus PAR, over or under, minus handicap equals the Net score.
The second new concept is the way we make the teams. This is a proprietary method and is in the process of being patented. Suffice it to say, when all the teams are compared to each other, the sum of the handicaps of the four people on the team are sufficiently close to all the other teams, we consider them to be in equity.
Take a look at the Winners Circle to see an example of what our tournament looks like using this concept.
This is full handicap (MAX 36), 4 man Team, medal play tournament. You must play your round in an organized golf event where your scores can be verified. A daily blitz or any medal play format. No scramble type, best ball events. The event must adhere to USGA rules with local rules prevailing and you must putt out ALL putts, No Gimmes, No Mulligans. Signup for the Big Blitz on any day prior to Noon Eastern Standard Time. Gift certificates will be awarded and redeemable at a location to be announced. Entry fee will be $10, with a 90% payout. Odds of placing will be 1 winner per 20 entrants. We have the flexability to conduct varieties of events including events within a region, within a country, within a continent, within a timezone, the whole World! We can offer varying fee and award events. There is almost no limit to the types of events we can run. For now, we are limiting the Big Blitz to the United States only.
During initial testing there will be no fee, but no awards either, just points to demonstrate how awards would be distributed

The second time, if you are posting a score from the same course you can bypass those steps.
