Has there ever been a reason given for why we don't see our event score amount per match? Its pretty simple to set up a workbook and calculate on your own, but it would be so easy for them to just include it for us. Just curious if there was ever a reason supplied for PGI omitting that one simple extra column.

I agree. It seems such a simple, obvious and relatively easy thing to add.

But perhaps they post-process tournament scores on a different server, after the game is over, to reduce load on the main game servers. This would also explain why it takes leaderboards a while to update, prizes aren't instantly delivered, etc.

Yeah, I hear ya. I am not trying to be obtuse over this, just seems simple. The calculations have to be done somewhere anyway...

So regardless of whether it is delayed, why not just include it on the tournament page with the rest of your match info? I don't think they should mess with the in-game display. Something would probably end up broken

Tweet to Russ about it. Since matches are clearly recorded in the tournament page, with small amount of fiddling, they can post accurate scores per match.
