  @phred, yes sir in the past you have been very helpful, for that I thank you.  If I misunderstood what you were saying then it's my mistake, to which I will own up to, and apologize.   But will not apologize for defending my fellow teammates.  Our cc is founded on a philosophy of integrity,  morality, team concepts, and of course fun filled golf.  We are not only team mates but a golf family. We earnestly seek help in growing bigger and stronger, better for our roster. If no hard feelings then we move on, and hopefully continue to help each other.

  As I told Mike, no worries, the same applies to you.  We are good, also.  You were doing the same thing I was in defending a friend.  Nothing to apologize for in that regard.  No hard feeling.  

  My best wishes for success of the CC and enjoyment in playing this game we all love to hate at times.

  I will also apologize to you

  Gladly accepted. We all come here with our Rucksack of experience, some useful, some hindering. I for one have seen so many questions so often that I sometimes abbreviate the answers to the second step instead of the first, difficult to receive, unsuspecting.

  Anyway: Have fun here!

  Ok, now a new start, can you give a suggestion or two?  We are looking for ways to make our tourneys equal and yet enjoyable.  The tier method doesn't work, one legend, 2 tour masters, 8 masters 15 tour pros (I think that's right) the rest are lower tiers.  Grouping us all together, and lower tiers won't play, unfair, tiers? Well u can see it,  not a big enough membership yet.  We want to have tourneys, make  belonging to a cc fun and active. Growing pains suck.  We are equally divided in pc, and mobile players.  With only 34 players, we finished in the top 100 for both turf wars, and clash.  Not to shabby. So we do have active golfers.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Here are the only things I can think of, and the first is somewhat cumbersome.  

  (1)  First have one of your CC Directors volunteer to be the Banker, unless your owner wants to take care of it.

  Set up a paid entry fee tournament  with a winner take all payout, that everyone who is going to take part in this enters.  Then have everyone except the banker withdraw, or lose, so the payout goes only to the banker, less WGT's 20%.

  Next, set up the Tournament, or Tournaments (if more than one) you want everyone to compete in, as a free, single play tournament.  This way there is no payout by WGT.  After the Tournament is completed, post results in your CC forum, showing which members won what amount of credits.

   They then have the option of having the Banker gift them balls or equipment, or they can set up some type of match play between the Banker and the member for the credits won.  The downside of this payout is that each player has to put up an equal amount, and WGT will take 10% from each, for their 20% again.  

  The up side is that the Banker can hold the credits for the member until the member asks for them to be paid out.  This would make it easier for someone who is saving up to buy equipment.

  (2)  Have members pledge credits and they are used to sponsor different tournaments.  Then use those to pay the members you want to receive credits by the sponsor.  The payouts then happen the same way as above, with the sponsor gifting balls or equipment, or setting up a match play tournament between the sponsor and the receiving member, and again giving WGT their cut.

  This is what our CC does, by having a series of  21Tournaments over about 10 or 11 months.  Only our pledgers are allowed to win credits, but all CC members can play in the tournaments.  

  As far as I know, no one has ever set up a match to actually get the credits, and instead take balls as the normal gift.We do everything with a modified Handicap system to help level the playing field between the different tiers.

  If we ever get the Bank that is still "Coming Soon", it would make things easier than jumping through these hoops to do prize payouts.  But it does work.

  I hope this helps a bit.  If you would like more info, send me a friend invite and I will go into greater detail in a PM.

  Jeff
