Hi ClaudeBot [Bot],


Thanks for joining PGLS (Parallel Golf Ladder System). We don't just have ladders here as our name seems to imply though, as we also offer tournies over varying lengths of time. Below you will find everything we have to offer and how they work. This screen will be shown to you when you login for the very first time. If you want to view it again please click on More ... then Welcome to PGLS from the main menu across the top of the page.



If you are seeing this page for the first time please take a look at the Getting Started forums ...

which contains some useful information. If you are still stuck please ask away in the General Discussion forum. We will be glad to help.


The M & G chatroom is used for practically all ladders and tournies available here at PGLS. This provides realtime chatting for setting up of matches and there are a lot of options on the look and feel of it, one of which is setting your Status (eg Guilds Open) so players know who may be looking for a certain match. The etiquette in M & G is if you request a match, you also need to set it up in the Perfect Golf game.
createAgame © PGLS 2017 is where you can create a games library for every PGLS ladder currently avaialable, invite other players to join it and at the end have your game automatically recorded to whatever ladder it was designed for.


By default you are not automatically added to any of the following PGLS ladders and will need to check these settings in the User Control Panel accessible by clicking on your name top right.

Please note there is an exception to the above. The Guilds Open ladder is by invitation only from Guild Captains and therefore you cannot sign-up to it as normal. If you want to join a Guild please post a topic in the Guilds Open (Clickable Link) forum to ask.
