  I just want to congratulate my brother -in-law  'Flickersnordoes" for making it to the Masters level. Good job. However now his average has gone higher, and I don't understand this, can anyone explain that to me.. Is there a reason for that. Now I'm not sure I want to progress to the next level if that is what I have to look forward to.

  You have to establish a new average in the new tier. His average will go down just as fast for the first few rounds and will level off when he gets to the place he should be,  provided he posts ranked rounds. You will do the same thing when you move.

  You want to stay a Tour Pro forever? LOL-your BIL will be smacking you down.  ;-)

  Thanks Yankee Jim , No I was just kidding about not wanting to move up. I am sure he will get his average down again reasonably soon. He and I play every day and have a good rivalry going, usually stay very close. Some days I kick his butt. lol. and others he kicks mine. We play a lot of alternate shot games and they of course have no effect on our averages. Unfortunately we get a lot of disconnects that really tick me off and it is not our internet connections, they are both strong,so I don't know what the problem is. Also when my brother ( Harely ) plays in the Alternate shot, only he can start the game, because if anyone else tries he is unable to accept at his end. Try to explain that one if you can.

  Make sure his Status is set to Available, not just Friends Only. I'm assuming he never gets the invite. If he actually does get the green flashing invite but can't respond to it then I would say that's something you should alert WGT to-Bug Report when it's happening and an e-mail.  Hope this helps.

  Thanks Yankee Jim, He is always set at Friends only as we are, but we will try to set it for available and see what happens , and if that still does not work, then I will send in a bug report. Thanks again.
