Re: Yesterday I was advanced to the Tour Master Tier

  But I don't believe I should have been.  My average yesterday was 64.25.  This morning after the server was down, all of a sudden I am a 62.  If you look at my score history, I very very rarely shoot a ranked round at 62 or under.  I am a 66 average player maybe, definetly not a 62.  Is there something wrong with the databases that it's inadvertently advancing players that shouldn't be advanced?

  It's only slightly faster greens. Nothing to worry about. I was always pleased to advance.

  You received a remarkable prize from the VT Championship - congrats to your success (2nd in Pro tier, IIRC)!

  This must be the reason for your drop in average, followed by the promotion "while you were asleep".

  Have fun as a Tour Master - it's only the green, and the competitors are better ;)

  Yep.

  Your 12, top 10 tournament finishes likely caused WGTs score average algorithm to kick in and bump you up a tier.

  Some players get bumped up because of performance against higher tier players in some of the other game types.

  It's not just about your ranked round scoring average, unless a player doesn't play those other game types that performance against higher tier players can cause.
