Re: Bias

  Interestingly, I am beginning to see just how HEAVY HANDLY bias this WGT is.  I can understand wanting to make a game that the developer can make money on, but come on.  Hack level is being lead by a MASTER.  Check all the various levels and you will find Legends, Masters, taking up the first 12 positions.  I would bet that they all have stock in the company. 

  Interestingly also, is the fact that when I challenge friends, you can feel the game shift gears.  Meters run smoother, wind reactions are different,  putting seems truer.  I have spent a life time working in nano and micro second.  It is easy to feel the shift. 

  I think I will just accept the BIAS and do everything with free balls and zero spending.  It can be done, just takes creating CHEAT pads.

  hi

  no WGT employees ar allowed to participate competitively in any games where are prizes involved. RARELY, when testing, we will post a score in such tournament, but it will never be anywhere close to leading score. same applies to other modes.

  Seriously Chris, I don't believe that any WGT employee enters RG's.  If they did and got found out, the scandal would be immense that people would leave WGT in droves.

  Just so we are on the same page:

   

  I did play few MPC games and skin games for credits with friends. It was at the time when we had a few bugs and I needed to verify and there was no other way. Of course all parties knew/agreed about it and I had prior approval.

  Also, some of the cttp tournaments in past, we did enter to test them but our scores were way higher than would even qualify top 1000. 

  So, ya, no wgt employee enters unless there is a very specific purpose for it.

  You've got wrong end of the stick, iwas showing essey where it says in icons statement that they're not allowed to play for prizes, and what is a ready go? PRIZES! Obviously not allowed to enter, you didn't notice the bold writing i had done to point this out

  Could someone answer the first part of pearlhr41's question. How can Masters and Legends be legitimately at the top of low rank levels, Hacks etc.

  It's a broad question. I think he means in tournaments? If so, then those are mixed tier tournaments, so better skill level usually wins?

  Whacker, the players at the top of those tournaments have simply progressed up through the tiers during the tournament's duration. For example, I remember in my first month at WGT coming 2nd in a Weekly Unlimited Play in the Hack Tier - I entered as a Hack but was still able to play in the Tournament until the duration was up - by which time I was a Tour Pro.
