Some good time ago the company made the decision that tiers are chocolate badges. This is in line with the philosophy of dumbing down generally. You can play the clash and they will call you a winner if you spend enough, and even give you special tee boxes and a gold coloured putter.
At least TL was once genuinely an accomplishment. Bow "chumps" are running around with "super low averages", and frankly so many are genuinely rubbish. Put them in a RG and a farce, not that you see them there as ...rubbish...but have the badge.
Is what it is. Don't pay any heed to the latest New Ideas irrelevance........................Tiers stopped meaning anything some time ago.
