I'm posting this early to get feedback on the rules, format, etc... Let me know if anything is confusing or contradictory.
With the Extended Render Range, the distances have changed.
Play 9 holes of Hunter Golf. Each hole (hunt) has a total distance, and each shot gets you that much closer.
Starts - May 20th 2019, 00:00 Europe/London
Ends - May 26th 2019, 23:59 Europe/London
General Description
Each hole is a hunt and will have a specific par & distance. Each shot you take is a "stroke".
The goal is to make shots and add (or subtract*) their distances until you are within 1.5m of the hole. (The hole is 3m in diameter)
Any remaining distance <= 1.5m is considered in the hole.
Any remaining distance <= 10m is a "Gimme". It will count one extra stroke & you can continue to the next hole.
* If your total distance is > 10m past the hole (greater then the target distance), the next shot will be subtracted from the current total.
The total number of shots in the hunt, plus any gimme's and penalties is your hole score.
The total of all 9 holes is your round score. Lowest score wins.
A Tie in strokes will be sorted by lowest # of putts (bow shots + gimmies).
Remaining ties will split the applicable portion of the purse. (A 2 way tie for 1st will split the 1st & 2nd place prizes. Each getting 2500 em$)
You only get 1 chance at each hole / hunt**. Once you start your first hunt (after the comp starts & you enroll), you are playing the 1st hole.
Your 2nd hunt is playing the 2nd hole.
You can shoot at any permitted animal you want. Score, gender doesn't matter. But every time you pull the trigger, it counts as a stroke!
**There will be 2 "Mulligan" holes (hunts). So you have 11 attempts to complete 9 holes. Don't submit the Mulligan holes.
You have 9 Submissions, 1 per hole.

Example: The hole distance is 685m. You make two 300m shots for a total of 600. You have 85m remaining. You can use a handgun or bow.
NOTE: Weapon requirement is based on remaining distance to the hole. If you have 210m remaining, and use a rifle & make a 140m shot, that's OK.
- 1 Shot Kills. (No positioning yourself for a 2nd shot on a wounded animal)
- Animals shot more than once will count stroke + distance penalty. Both shots will count as a strokes, and neither distance will not count toward your hole.
If an animal doesn't die, it's better to just leave it lie & try that shot again.
