Rules

The rules are the same as the Forest Mini-Golf rules with some exceptions.

If you intend to put your score on the wiki, please ensure that you follow the following rules for Mini-Golf:

  1. Each hole should be started from the dark green carpet at the beginning of the hole. If you look directly downwards, you should see dark green carpet on your cursor (You don't have to be in the middle!)
  2. After the first shot, all shots should be taken from where the ball lands on the previous throw.
  3. If, after stopping moving, the ball is not on a carpet (i.e in the grass or on the wooden sides), it is a foul shot. The shot still counts towards your score, however, you must take your next shot from the same location as the one beforehand.
  4. You can throw your ball however you want, including over bridges or to take shortcuts. If the ball doesn't land back on the carpet though, it'll count as a foul (see rule #3)
  5. If you are a spectator watching the MGA tournaments, please ensure you stand well clear of the hole(s) to avoid picking up golf balls.

Arrow golf rules as followed. The above is for standard minigolf:

  1. Each hole should be started from a dark green carpet (or any other carpet that is recognisable, such as yellow or orange).
  2. Use only a bow and 1 arrow. An infinity bow is acceptable. Do not use arrows that are enchanted with any enchantments.
  3. Once you have teed off from the start, make sure to stand where your arrow landed before continuing.
  4. Once you have shot your arrow into the golf hole, please stand out of the way of others who are playing on the course as they may hit you.
  5. Arrows that land in an out of bounds area, such as trees, bushes, water and lava will result in the player taking a 1 stroke penalty.
  6. Arrows can land on the green, grass and in sand.


Exception
If your shot lands in the water (applicable to almost all non Forest-Mini Golf courses), you must take a penalty stroke, and play your shot after that from where the ball entered the water. So, if your tee shot lands in the water, you must play your third shot from where the ball entered the water.

Debut Tournament

At the February 2018 GSM, staff members were hesitant to give the MGA the requested funding. Instead, they gave the organization a chance at a debut tournament, and if it got proper attention, they would then continue to fund the organization.
The final scoreboard can be found here: AirKirdé-North Coast Championship

Overall, the event went well enough and staff decided to approve the MMB Cup at the May 2018 GSM. This recognized the start of the MRT Golf Association's first season

MGA Fun Minigolf Tournaments

This minigolf category has no leaderboard like the season ones above, instead it's play for cash prizes (prize fund is assembled by sponsors). Currently, the recent tournament held in New Amsterdam (XenRail Open) at The 18th Mine is the first tournament to apply this new category. 5 players played the course (except mdbro55 had to leave after hole 6), the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th placed players are listed below:

1st - autobus22 ($200), 2nd - Johngi ($100), 3rd - PineappleMaster2 ($50), 4th - Skelezomperman ($25), 5th - mdbro55 ($25).

The prize fund was $400.

2021-2022 changes

Some changes were made during the offseason at the MGA Headquarters in Hendon. Due to various commissioners being inactive, no one had a clue as to who would run golf tournaments in future. However, as time went on, LondonThameslink was the only one physically organising golf tournaments under the MGA brand. Golf has been a part of MRT events since 2018 and has become a spectacle among players.

In late 2022, London announced that there would be more changes coming in place, such as a new logo or name for the MGA. The decision in the end was to continue to use the current logo as it found to be more recognisable than any other designs. The organising of the tournaments now lie with London given that Talon is now very inactive and many of the other MGA helpers are either inactive, banned or do not have any involvement with the tournaments anymore.

2023 Tournaments and Summer Series

In 2023, a phoenix emerged and the MGA was started up again by LondonThameslink in the hope that new members can be attracted to the competition. The year began with the Saint Valentines tournament was won by ItsNotJasper with Zuoj coming up behind. Afterwards, there was a March tournament in which bro1bro2 won the tournament, followed by ItsNotJasper.

During April, a new type of season was going to be trialed for the summer season, where players are leaving education for the summer break. London decided to start a new trial known as the MRT Golf Summer Series, an offseason bunch of tournaments for the summer holidays. Currently, 2 of these tournaments have been played, with a 3rd ready to play on Saturday 29th July at 7pm UTC (8pm BST).

More golf tournaments are being organised as we head towards the autumn, which London did also announce in the MGA Discord that a Season 4 will be confirmed soon.
