I'm posting this early to get feedback on the rules, format, etc... Let me know if anything is confusing or contradictory.
If anyone would like to help me test this out, let me know. The current leaderboard is all fake data right now, so if you happen to click that link, don't panic!
Play 9 holes of Hunter Golf. Each hole (hunt) has a total distance, and each shot gets you that much closer.
Starts - May 19th 2018, 00:00 Europe/London
Ends - May 25th 2018, 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 or 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 animal you want. Score, species, 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.
Rules and Conditions
Species: Feral Hog, Red Fox, European Rabbit, Red Kangaroo, Feral Goat
Reserves: Bushranger's Run
Weapons: Any permitted Rifle, Handgun or Bow (No Crossbows)
Scoring: Total Number of shots, lowest score wins.
Special Requirements:
- Min Shot Distance: Each weapon type can only be used if the remaining distance to the hole (target distance) is greater than it's minimum distance.
- Wood: Rifle (> 200 m)
Iron: Handgun (> 75m)
Putter: Bow (Any distance)
Example: The hole distance is 485m. You make two 220m shots for a total of 440. You have 45m remaining. You can only use a bow.
Example: The hole distance is 485m. You make two 200m shots for a total of 400. 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.
- Wood: Rifle (> 200 m)
- 1 Shot Kills. (No positioning yourself for a 2nd shot on a wounded animal)
- Additional shots on an animal will count stroke + distance penalty. The shot will count as a stroke, but the distance will not count toward your hole.
- Missed shots, or hits that don't result in a harvest count as strokes.
- Wrong weapon, either based on the distances above, or an un-permitted weapon is a 1 stroke penalty. (un-permitted & wrong weapon is 2 strokes)
- No Bait. Callers & Scents are OK. Make sure your bait sites are empty/inactive so no animals can become "baited". A baited animal is a 1 stroke penalty.
- No sleeping animals. A sleeping animal is a 1 stroke penalty.
- Failure to "Hole Out." The maximum score for any hole will be 10. If you fail to get within 10m of the target distance, your score for that hole will be 10.
- Hunts must begin after the comp starts and after you enroll, and end before the comp ends.
- Spawnmashing / Sandbagging rules don't apply here. No minimum hunt duration or time to submit limitations.
- Your last hunt must be submitted no more than 90 minutes after the competition ends
- Attempts: 11 (1 attempt per hole, and 2 "Mulligan" attempts)
- Any hunt on BRR after the start of the comp, and after you enroll will count as an attempt.
Any hunt under 1 minute will not count as an attempt.
- Any hunt on BRR after the start of the comp, and after you enroll will count as an attempt.
- Submissions: 9 (1 submission per hole) (You must submit all 9 hunts for a valid score)
- SP only
- Update - 22May18
With the release of the new extended render range, I've added a maximum distance for shots. - Any shot over 237m will be a "Shot + distance" penalty. i.e. the shot will count toward your strokes, but the distance will be 0. (same as a 2nd shot on an animal)
