  I am using my iPad to play on WGT and am really finding it quite addictive.

  But have a few questions I can't seem to find the  answers for,

  Firstly - I realize that the tier system is similar to RL handicap system and I have gone quite quickly from Hack to Pro, but my question is, based on how long its taking me to get up onto the next tier is, is there a table that shows what a players average score needs to be within to be a pro or tour pro etc as I gather this tier is not based on it being a set score but rather a score between two points.

  Secondly and as I play mostly on my iPad, can one save replays on the iPad when playing a great shot - like an eagle from 150+yds and if one can save these shots as replays how does one do it.

  And lastly - does anyone know how to set up my FB account so that WGT recognises it and allows me to share my scorecards?

  What average do you need to Tier up, how many rounds do you need, and what is the effect of winning a Ready-Go or Match Play on your Average?

  • When Hack average is equal or smaller than 100 you move to Amateur

  • When Amateur average is equal or smaller than 80 you move to Pro

  • When Pro average is equal or smaller than 72 you move to Tour Pro

  • When Tour Pro average is equal or smaller than 67 you move to Master

  • When Master average is equal or smaller than 63 you move to Tour Master

  • When Tour Master average is equal or smaller than 61 you move to Legend

  • When Legend average is equal or smaller than 60 you move to Tour Legend

  BUT

  Unless you win Ready Go Tourneys you need a certain minimum number of rounds played before you can move up to a higher Tier. This is commonly known as “saturation.” Once saturation is reached WGT calculates your average based on the best rounds you have played in your current Tier. Both the minimum to get to saturation and how many rounds your average is based on is:   

  • 5 ranked rounds as Hack before reaching Amateur

  • 10 ranked rounds as Amateur before reaching Pro

  • 20 ranked rounds as Pro before reaching Tour Pro

  • 25 ranked rounds as Tour Pro before reaching Master

  • 40 ranked rounds as Master before reaching Tour Master

  • 50 ranked rounds as Tour Master before reaching Legend

  • 500 ranked rounds as Legend before reaching Tour Legend

  • 500 rounds as Tour Legend is also saturation for Tour Legend but there currently is no Tier above Tour Legend, so saturation in this case only applies to WGT’s computation of your average

  Thank you for that explanation :-) now it makes sense as to why I stayed Pro for so long as I had to complete my quota of ranked games first.
