  LOLserver:

  Whether fair or not, you like it or not, you have no other options.

  If you think positive, playing higher level greens will always improve your own game. I remember being a legend and always trying to find a TL friend to play together with, it did help me a lot to be ready and competitive for the next level.....my opinion : )

  I think you may be missing the point Eric.  I understand my options and it's not that I mind Champ greens.  I want to know WHY the player setting the game does not have the choice. It's their game after all, and to be honest it is a tad unfair (in all the tiers) that the higher ranked player plays on their greens and winds etc.......it's not their bloody game after all.

  All I would like to know is...........WHY?  and why not change it?

  Who do you expect to answer?

  None of us can, and the Hold-your-Tongue Tribe won't. I'd expect not more than
  "I don't know" from any of the mods (no offence meant).

  "They once set it up that way" is my serious approach.

  Some reasons were given, here or in the parallel thread.

  Default tees exist which is a huge difference in favour of the lower tier, unless it's TL v L of course.  Easy enough to practice all that in a CC at any level too.

  Be a little careful what you wish for though as most good TLs, not red tee paper plane ones, given low winds and say VF greens will eat them alive.  Don't believe me see what happens in low wind RGs on non champ greens - 25 territory at Cabo F9 to win that 1 at that level.

  Good luck with getting the choice though :)  I just hope WGT don't do it until they get a track record of not majorly breaking anything they touch, and that's a long way off.

  Same reason why Ls and TLs can't play ranked stroke with hacks and expect red tees if the hack creates.

  This seems like a no-brainer to me.
