  averages will only go up for about the first 25-30 ganes on a new level i.e. mastrt tourmaster etc after that it only uses the best games to figure out the average

  Yep, as you go to a new tier your average starts again so if you hit 2 rounds, 70 and 80 you'll have 75. Most players go up after reaching a new tier, then you hit the magic number, 40 for master, and only the 40 best scores count.  Hit a bad one and it's ignored, hit a good one, it counts and the worst of the 40 is wiped out.  My average got very close to 70 after becoming master, now it's dropping again.  I like the system a lot, it keeps the challenge going.

  I think it's 50 for tour master, don't know about the others.

  Not sure the exact figure....I think it's about 140 for legend

  I played 146 games up to now in Legend tier, and didn't reach yet the magic number beyond which bad rounds doesn't count... So I guess it will be 150 or 200. I will see.

  It is, now I've past that it's headlong downwards to Legend status.

  For sure it's not 150... perhaps 200 games...
