it would be nice if ones flight tourney status did not alter whilst playing during the week imho

i was going to add this in the "really sad" thread but did not want to befuddle and make people feel i was jumping on their topic.

in a way they are related (again in my opinion) but i would like to remain in the same flight until that weeks play is over.

this is no biggie and opinions may differ

Excellent point.

wasn't aware that one's flight changed as you play from rounds 1 to 4.

it makes sense that you stay in the same flight from beginning to end, regardless. After the end of the week, then your flight is assessed and ONLY altered then!

2 bob's worth....

It's been like that for years. It has to do with when the handicaps are adjusted and if that affects the flight you're assigned to.

i just read the link gobucks posted and thanks for that re-direct.

i was not aware that my handicap can change during a tourney (on the fly as it was referred to) i have never seen that but does not mean it has not happened.

i have seen it multiple times during my flight tourney play.

either way it is not really a big deal but was glad to see that most people agree that it should change following a weeks play and not during.

this may be difficult or impossible to implement and therefore will just accept it for what/how it is.

If I'm not mistaken (and I often am. Ask my wife) handicaps are figured based on a rolling number of rounds. I think that number is 20. It drops the highest and lowest scores. It's not tied to the calendar.

Can someone confirm or correct?

this is probably so and i bet someone like gibby has a great handle on the intricacies. I seem to remember something like what you mentioned with having to play in 4 tourneys before establishing a handicap.

my point is that i would like the handicap and flight status (small pun intended) not to change until the next weeks play.

just because i would like that i also understand that for various reasons it will not happen that way and that's okay.

the game is still great fun and i am glad it is still around. i will add that, and i have said it before, i always appreciate the hard work people put in to still make the fun play here possible.
