• Players have a daily chance each day of the qualifying round to secure their spot in the elimination round

• The top 50% of the qualifying round leaderboard advance to the elimination round

Main Menu Changes

• With this release (1.196.0) we have changed how Showdowns and Coin Chaos show on the main menu. The purpose of this is to make sure we’re not cluttering the main menu with items the player can not interact with.

• Players who did not enter and can no longer enter because round 2 has started

• Players who failed to qualify for the following round (missed cut as round 2 or 3 begins)

• When the showdown ends, players will no longer see the results phase. This can still be accessed from the PLAY NOW/H2H menu, or from GAME MODES.

• Coin Chaos will no longer show on the main menu when it’s ended the results Phase. Results can still be accessed from the PLAY NOW/H2H menu.

• KNOWN ISSUE: Showdown is not giving a results pop-up following the final round. We expect to have it resolved in the next release at the end of January. Thank you for understanding.

• Fixed an issue on Desktop where the All Tiers section in the Tier Dashboard was not scrollable with a mouse

• Fixed an issue when going to the Stroke Play & CTTH game mode where selecting anything in the panel would move all items in the panel. This needed to be done before any other interactions/selections could be done

• Desktop Standalone Only: we changed how the purchase of Winner’s Circle shots works, which should fix a rare issue where players would receive credits in place of their Winner’s Circle shots
