  hi there,

  last week i was ranked Master.  -  With the change I was "degraded" to a score of 74. My last Tour Pro score was 67.84.  I don't understand this - can anybody explain it to me ?

  thanks for explanation

  cheers mugg

  hi:)

  after you enter a new tier, your previous scores are wiped, so all new scores will populate your average.

  as you post rounds, you can expert wild changes until it settles down.

  I am interested in what is required to advance in rank. I have been a Master for over a year, have dropped my handicap, and played many ranked rounds, tournaments and wide variety of blitz and match play rounds. Still, I cannot seem to advance. Is there a formula for advancement?

  Thanks

  You need an average of 63 to move up.

  Another way is like quite a few people are doing tiering up by winning against higher tier players in scored match play which will drop your average rapidly.

  Of course there is. Looking at your scores, some notes:

  - only ranked strokeplay rounds count in the first place, not Blitz nor CTTH.

  - your scores are good enough, 32, 33, 66, ... more of these!

  - winning money helps, too, and winning matches against higher tiers.

  Is the 63 Avg the same no matter what tier you are on...?
