    Since WGT has the time before many start getting promoted from TL, how about implementing a "real" average for the new Tiers as opposed to a "saturated" average?

     

    I'd rather have a real 61 average, than a fake 54 average, I'm sure some think the opposite, but let's get it right this time.

    100% agree.

    It should not be saturation ever so the avg would be less silly.

    Mike,

    Preaching to the converted.

    BUT I suspect no way.

    Now worth raising as still time, but I suspect this goes against the grain of new ideas.  Early doors and using empiricism pointers say TL is now 700 RRs until saturation - effectively. EDIT: yes we get the extra 200 RRs for TLs long since saturated before some light bulb chimes in :)

    We are all going to play the odd red tee sometimes, and so whilst that is in it I see little point personally.  I would like to see quarterly rolling, and excluding red tees but can WGT do that or do they even have that appetite.  Certainly as it's mostly encouraging badge chasers they want it filled with red tee people, nothing frm WGT to think otherwise IMO.

    Note please not saying all red tee people are badge chasers, just talking the middle bulk.

    Of course we do have the current last resort of the new very top tier, but that's invite only...sounds like they may be thinking about parameters, and may let us know soon.  Hope the latter as invite only is potentially just condescending, and maybe it will be reserved for real elite.........Dunno but no interest from me whilst all WGT can say is "invitational", not with their recent track record of recent daft ideas - sorry if offended any one but that's way I see it, bluntly.

    EDIT: I would like to see something more from WGT (and loads on it on the new tiers) as I don't see red tee badge chasing as sustainable in amount or interest personally.  Quick small extra sugar rush from the people that gave us the clash is all I see.  I await more from WGT to explain of course, and be happy to change my mind then.  I can only go on current pointers though, and think they could do so much more for the good of the game that's all.

    I'm with ya Jim,

     

    I don't care (JMHO) if someone wants to play from the Red's to hold a lower average...generally those players will never be in a RG or a Tourney for credits, etc...let'em hold their egos close to their hearts;)
