Membership
Questions:
What do I need
to become a member and vote in the Course
Rating?
You need three
things, PGA 2000 Championship Golf, a valid
email address, and to have played all the
courses you will vote for.
Course
Eligibility Questions:
What courses can
I vote on?
Any user-created course
made for PGA 2000 or PGA 99. This includes
all courses released after the release of
those games, and the original courses
included with the games themselves.
Can I vote for
my own course?
Yes. If you really feel
that a course you designed is one of the 10
best courses available, you may vote for your
own course.
Can I vote for
user-created courses that are replicas of
real-life courses?
Yes.
Can I vote for
the courses that came with the game?
You may vote for some of
the courses that came with the game. Another
name for these are "stock" courses.
You may vote for the fictional stock courses,
but NOT for the real-life stock courses.
Ballot
Questions:
Can I vote for
less than 10 courses?
No. You must submit a
ballot with 10 different courses or it will
not be counted. We do not take less than 10
votes for many reasons, one of which is that
by leaving courses off your list, you cheat
them out of points. The main objective of the
Dappawit Course Ratings is to list all the
best courses available and thereby help
people decide which to download. Allowing
people to vote for less than ten courses
would only make for an incomplete ranking.
Does the order
of the courses on my ballot matter?
Yes it definitely does!
Courses are assigned points based on where
they are ranked on a ballot. The course you
enter as your number 1 course will recieve 10
points; the number 2 course will recieve 9
points, and so on. Consider the order of your
ballot carefully.
What aspects of
a course should I consider when ranking them?
Any ones you
want to. The idea is that you vote for which
courses you like the most and for your own
reasons.
Voting
Period Questions:
What is the
"Voting Period"?
The Voting Period is
simply the time during which votes may be
turned in for the Dappawit Ratings. A voting
period usually extends from a Sunday morning
to late the following Saturday evening. The
new Dappawit Course Ratings compiled from
these votes will usually be released on the
following Sunday or Monday.
How much time is
there between votes?
We release a new
Dappawit Course Rating every four weeks.
The last
Dappawit Course Ratings was released three
weeks ago, so why is it time to vote already?
We allow our members a week to submit their
votes. After that week, a new Dappawit Course
Rating is released. So three weeks will pass
from the release of a rating to a new vote,
but since there is another week for that
vote, the actual rating will be released four
weeks after the previous one.
Miscellaneous
Questions:
Why do you only
list the top 10 courses?
We don't. Our members vote for their 10
favorite courses. We will add up those votes
and rank the courses who recieved the most
votes. This coud easily be the top 20, 30, 40
or 50 courses. It all depends on how many
people vote and how many different courses
are voted for.
Can I list my
course's rank on my website?
Of course you can. You should include the
date of the particular rank when you list it,
though. Since we have new votes every four
weeks, this will help reduce any confusion.
We would also appreciate a link back to this
site.
