Hot Shots Golf: OS Invitational Leaderboard
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who's interested in a Hot Shots Golf tournament on the PS Vita? We had some fun times in the HSG PS3 tournaments, so I'm going to try and bring the fun to the Vita for another OS HSG tournament. So we have six courses in the game, so it will be a six week tournament. The fun thing about HSG is that we can add different rules to the game to keep it fresh, like extra penalties for not hitting the fairway, character/club/ball limits, etc. But for the first tournament I'd like to keep it simple and play with no extra rules except maybe character limits on some courses. Let everyone ease in
Rules are simple, meet up and play two 18-hole course with the group (one regular tee, one mirror long tee). 36 holes will probably take around an hour and a half. I will create a private room just prior to the agreed upon tee time. I believe a room will hold eight players, if we have more than that, we'll split the group. Scoring will be general golf scoring, the lowest cumulative score after the 12 courses will be the champion! I will keep a weekly leaderboard and keep it posted here.
I'd like these weekly tee times to be on either Monday or Tuesday nights around 9:00 CST. How does that fit in everyone's schedule?
Make-up games will be allowed. What worked good in the past, and what we'll try out again, is if you do miss a meetup, all you need to do is get a private game in with someone from the tournament before the next week's meetup and post a screenshot of the final score in this thread.
I will also create a voice chat session using Vita's Party app. So feel free to join that so we can talk while playing. Word of caution though, join the chat party before you join enter the HSG online lobbies. HSG will drop you from their online if you put the game in the background and switch over to the chat app. I have mixed opinions of the party app, if it doesn't do the trick, we can try something like Skype, which we used in the past for the PS3 tournaments.
================================================== ===
Ok, so let's talk about the first week, Maple Leaf Golf Club. The match will be a 18-hole regular tee course followed by a long tee 18-hole session. Characters will be limited to Novice and Intermediate characters, but no limits on balls and clubs. Make sure you have the long tee unlocked for Maple Leaf Golf Club, I'm not sure if the game will let you join a group if you don't have that course unlocked!
Tentative tee time to kick things off will be Tuesday, August 21st at 9:00 CST. If we need to wait until next week to build up interest, we can start next Monday or Tuesday. We'll meet in the Dog lobby, floor 3. My PSN name is aukevin, so look for me there.
So who's interested? Rules and times sound good? Any discussion?
