Well, I received my Qualifier Prize today, the Gillette Fusion MVP Razor. Just what every self respected Skin Head needs

The Knockout rounds start Feb 8th, but alas I seriously doubt I'll progress much further as there are some really talented Tour players through who can shoot way lower than I can, plus COD MW2 has taken over my gaming time these days.

But hey, I got a nice wee prize for sitting on my sofa playing video golf, so I can't grumble

Good luck to my buddies in Europe and the US who also qualified

Cool, good luck SkinheadLes - I got my prize too. Now the missus will bug me to shave more often lol The letter shall be framed, coz it's the only thing I'll ever achieve online

I'm just playing for pride - as long as I don't finish bottom in the Europe Pool, I'm happy

Depends what the conditions are, but fully expect k2damoon or Neilos to be on that plane to Florida. I'm hoping EA will crank it up to 11 and go Extreme for the knockouts, but I doubt that'll happen.

Hell, whoever wins it deserves it

Best of luck everyone who qualified!

Qualifications have been going on the past 9 weeks and the final qualification tourney ended Sunday. Sorry, Tony. Next year mate.

Get in your Delorian and crank it up to 88, Tony!

Shame you're not there - you would've been up there for sure

This question has been answered as much as possible in this thread including an explanation on why EA will likely not respond. To repeatedly ask the same question in this and other threads is trolling and will be removed.

Please check your private messages regarding another issue also. Thanks!

I do have a question regarding the Knockout stage.

If the qualifying stages were offered in Amateur, Pro and Tour Pro, why then is the Knockout Stage, 4 rounds in Pro mode only?.

Why not have 4 round event consisting of 1 round Amateur, 1 Pro, 1 Tour Pro and 1 Extreme.

Surely that would provide the best all round Champion golfer.

I agree totally with that, it basically alleviates all the tour players who played there rounds. I would have loved to see something different for the knockout, remembering last year we had to beat gamernet challenges as many and as fast as possible and some on the final day were ridiculous.

I personally feel this tournament is down to who has the time and patience to map out each hole and make the shot.

Considering I am questioning if eligible or not I am not sure if will waste my time on this, I really am starting to feel that this game is calling all "obssesive compulsive" players to keep going - lol. There is way too many tournaments, and way too much course mapping etc. I wont lie I too can map a course, but when you got family and work it is a bit tough to be on your game at night every night.

What gets me when we played in the finals last year, it was tour pro, sawgrass, expert pins, lightning fast stroke sim (1 try only), and then the winner played Tiger. So why they did not make this single try, who knows?

Anyhow good luck to all.

I'm a little surprised that the format for the knockouts aren't single try only - maybe EA can't do it on a 4-round tournament, or feel it's unfair? After all, lose your connection and that's your whole tournament down the swanny.

Or maybe they also can't set-up a multi-format 4-round tourney....? (ie, 1x amateur, 1x pro, 1x tour pro and 1x extreme).

Hey ho - you play the cards you're dealt with but....

Man, slotting an Extreme on the last round would have been pretty sweet and definitely would have made things a lot more interesting - and would've frightened the bejeezus out of the mappers lol

Anyway, best of luck to all you guys

Fair point about disconnections but as has been said something with a little more imagination could've been achieved,you'd think!!
Extreme in the 4th round would have been enjoyable.

P.S where's my razor?
