    Hello, I’m playing in the current showdown, My player level is Tour Master, I am currently ranked 10th with 9 holes yet to play. My issue is that right now, is that in my bracket, in the top 9, there  is 1 Tour Champion, 4 Champion, 1 Tour legend and a couple others within my caliber. I wish that WGT would require that players with that high of a level status be required/restricted to play in the Veteran or Expert level only.! To purposely play in the Rockie class just to win the rewards that’s associated with that level, meaning Credits/Equipment/balls etc... it just st makes it harder for those of us that don’t have hundreds of dollars to spend on equipment, and succeed at the possibility of placing 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and so on. Love to play in the showdowns, but it’s discouraging to know that I can’t afford the equipment (peanut labs, surveys for free credits is a sham.! They just want to advertise, get personal information to flood your email box, and take your money. I’ve tried it, and have been locked out) to succeed In competing against those type of players.! I feel that with my mediocre clubs that I have, when I get to legend or Tour legend level I will move up to Veteran status, and leave space for lower skilled players to have a chance at getting a badge next to there name, instead of just qualifying.! Thank you.! Scott M. ”F3503duelly”

    I feel your pain, constantly having my ass kicked by level 11 hacks who have all the clubs and clothes. I already have to deal with their 8 foot gimmies and 6 inch cups.

    The levels in showdown are cost based and just depend on how much a player is prepared to spend to enter. In rookie those players below legend tier have (usually)shorter tees than legends and above which even it out a bit. This subject has been done to death both in these forums and on the WGT Players Lounge Facebook page and WGT won’t be changing it. I think you’ll find most of those of higher tiers aren’t willing to part with 100 or 1000 credits due to the ongoing persistent glitching problems which have plagued showdowns. If you are unhappy with the rules and requirements of the Showdowns just don’t play them.
