  I like the bracket format, but every week it's the same. First course Congressional, then... well, I have come to really hate Congressional since becoming Legend. Why do they always start with Congressional and have the same 4 courses? Why can't they mix them up?

  Second question: Boy do I suck at Legend. If I keep sucking, will I be lowered?

  I like them too...at times. As you say, same place, same time, all the time. Always the same stupid wind, green speeds at 9 - 13 - 10 - 12...talk about screwing up a putting stroke. Playing for nothing more than a chance to lose balls. But yet I play

  Why not set them up in your country club and pick any courses that you fancy?

  Nope..  But you'll damn sure wish you could.

  Thanks for the idea, it might be done later. Right now I have just started messing with my CC and (ha) don't have any idea what I'm doing. ~ SP ~

  I jumped right on the CC Bracket Bandwagon when they were announced and then had to beg and bribe members to sign up! I went with a purse bracket and a free and literally took weeks to fill the roster. And a bracket takes up one of your tournament slots, so a languishing bracket means fewer other challenges. I wish I had a solid group of Bracket participants at my CC. I'd craft some challenging matches.

  Despite winning a bunch of credits in the legend brackets - I simply had to quit them as it was making the game "un-fun." 

  Thank goodness for our club brackets as our mods are doing a great job in mixing up courses AND conditions to make it interesting. ECGA fortunately has no problems filling up our 2 weekly bracket style tourneys. 

  I saw where one of the wgt mods said "they hope" the formats will get easier to change in the future as right now they are manually changed. I could see using that for a few weeks, but really over a month or so of the same courses is just being out-of-tune with their client base on this one.
