Greg Hines Sep 11, 2023 Thanks for everything you did this weekend Charles

Colin Vercio I’m curious about Matt Reibeling’s scores that got updated in MPO, his third round shows that he should be +11, but his score for the round is listed as -10? Sep 10, 2023

Charles Raiff Sep 11, 2023 Working on getting it fixed now. Tournament manager threw a bunch of errors and is showing odd scores. I'm aware of the issue and working on getting everything all fixed up now.

Charles Raiff Sep 11, 2023 Should be all fixed and corrected now. MPO payouts complete.

justin perkins For holes with OB at Arvesta, will we be using the white sticks as the OB line or will it be a line specific to the tourney?
