  I've taken this tournament as an example: http://www.wgt.com/tournaments/readygo_old.aspx

  If the top 25 would get their $2 double your money then that makes $50 meaning there would be no cut for WGT which will never happen, and whatever the number it will never work out, say only 40 enter for $1, then thats $40, half the leaderboard get the other half's credits meaning 20 people get get $2 each, again, no cut for WGT so the only way is to make it 45 people can enter so the extra 5 give wgt the cut, but then it can't be the top half of leaderboard anyway and sounds like a normal ready go (without the top 3's prizes), or, you'd have to pay say $1.10 to enter (to cover wgt cut) and it would technically not be double your money anymore.LOL..

  Sigh... don't know why I make suggestions when they're just ignored. As I said on page 1, make the top 20 get paid double, the bottom 30 nothing. WGT get their 20% cut that way. A VERY simple solution.

  The ready go's as they are almost guarantee you a double your money payout and even the chance of extra

   

  If this is so CIB, why do enter very few high stakes tourneys? Almost guarantee = big bucks $20 skate would see you at least $40....

   Typical B.S from you, as expected by myself and others on this forum.

  When was the last time you entered a $20 rg......i'm still looking.......lol

  Why not? Looks like because YOU believe you cannot compete. 

  If I'm wrong, please explain why, without the use of B.S

  I'm up for that

  I've managed to make some credits in the TM 100c RGs plus the 100c St A front 9 but I'm on the brink of Legend now and can't compete with 55......58 is my best 18.

  But If I knew the entrants would be my level of Legend then I'd give it a go.

  Yoban and RuiCraveiro would have to be banned though......they play everything!!

  If I were you I would be taking full advantage of every Back 9 RG if you're still a TM. A good TM should be able to clean up on those RGs.

  The only reason we don't see any of them doing well is because they don't play them. Why? Because they don't want to shoot low ranked rounds and get moved to Legend.

  If you're a good TM and playing honestly you should be cleaning out those RGs. Driver, wedge. Driver, wedge.

  Oh crap. I forgot how much that's "frowned upon" in WGT land.

  I would love to have that last week or so of when I was a TM. I just started playing RGs again and was doing very well. Woke up a few days later as a Legend and new the run was over for awhile.

  I'm playing honestly, I've been playing on here for just over 3 months and I'm 61.04 avg TM.

  My problem has been my level, I've had to slow down my amount of ranked games because my level was miles below the clubs I needed to compete at legend.

  Believe me, when I first started playing I hit it hard and pushed for legend, but then realised my mistake as my tier went up but my equipment was unavailable.

  Thumbs up....Yeah I realize you're doing it the way WGT intended. The majority, however, doesn't. Hence all the sandbagging threads on here.

  You're a perfect example of why clubs should be tier based.
