I'm sure it would be easy enough to google. It would be the TD or someone in his inner circle of volunteers.

Who all was involved in scoring and getting stuff posted to pDGA website at GMC?
I'm guessing when Dodge wrote the OB rule for hole 8 he didn't foresee shots going into a different pond when he wrote "in the water".
At the time it happened he ruled that way, but afterwards he decided that traditional OB rules should apply since McBeth's throw had flown in-bounds for a good length so he reversed his decision.
In my opinion he ruled correctly when he reversed his first ruling.
This was a quick list, I am sure I forgot some tasks. I get where posting payouts for fan curiosity, could be outside this list of priorities. I am not saying it should not be done, I am saying it just seems entitled, for folks to expect it be done tournament night or to their convenience. I suggest good tournaments make players happy, not distant followers of a player. Just my opinion.
Back to McBeth--watching him play and when rules issues come up for other players, he seems to be fairly front and center discussing OB or whatever the question is. We aren't there and don't hear all of the discussion, but it seems to me that he tends to favor the player in assessing situations which seems very sportsmanlike. I could be wrong--just my impression.
I'm pretty sure I know. I want Jeff to say it.
To offer some context:
IIRC, at Worlds in 2016 (Emporia), he played the out-of-bounds incorrectly on Hole 8 at Jones East, learned of his mistake, and asked the TD to give him the strokes for the misplay after the round.
On the surface, at least, it appears he is man enough to take the penalty when he knows it applies, and doesn't argue exclusively to his benefit.
Hi John.
Yes, I will go ahead and say it. I was indeed the volunteer who uploaded those final payouts in a timely manner at the GMC.
I don't however think that I was being disingenuous by not previously mentioning such. This is not rocket science! Every TD, Assistant TD, or Scoring Director for every other PDGA Major, NT, or DGPT event uploads the payouts in a timely manner...within an hour or two of the tournament completion, so that every player and fan can see exactly how much they got paid. It takes like 20 minutes to do it in a spreadsheet, or folks can use the aforementioned online "Publish Payout" resource in the PDGA Tournament Manager.
And quite frankly, it's an embarrassment that the same hasn't happened at the MVP Open the last two years. And that's why I am calling them out now and will continue to do so every year that this continues. It shouldn't take until 8:45 AM the Monday morning after the event for players to see their payouts; that is just not acceptable for a premier tournament like the MVP Open.
Hannah has no reason to be there...except you know...her husband.
I guess i should say it saves them the hassle of doing it during lunch if they are also playing the event.
Wow... Dodge reversed the ruling on McBeths shot on 8 yesterday.
McBeth 2 back of Rick with 18 to play. Should be an interesting day!

yeah i agree
def not something you would see in fpo
What?
Just an FYI, the PDGA rules committee was responsible for the switch. I'll let you all ponder who called them.
IMO..........Water OB is water OB, regardless of what color shading is on a picture. :|
Oh and a up until this point, i THOUGHT the TD had the final say.......
801.03 Appeals
When a group cannot reach a majority decision regarding a ruling, the ruling is based on the interpretation that is most beneficial to the thrower.
A player may appeal a group decision to an Official, or an Official's decision to the Director, by clearly and promptly stating that desire to the group. If an Official or the Director is readily available, the group may stand aside and allow other groups to play through while the appeal is being heard.
If an Official or Director is not readily available, the thrower may make a set of provisional throws for each additional possible outcome of the ruling, and later appeal the ruling to an Official or to the Director when practical.
If a ruling is overturned, an Official or the Director may adjust the player's score to reflect the correct interpretation of the rules. Alternatively, the Director may have the player replay one or more holes. Rulings by the Director are final.
