  WGT should really consider doing something about the competitiveness (or lack thereof) of these turf wars. Most recent:

  Scottish Bravehearts - 3,299,127

  Evergreen Clubhouse - 254,715,700

  What fun is that???

  I notice you didn’t complain when you were drawn against my level 8 club with just 2 players, a few weeks ago . It’s swings and roundabouts .

  I’m a one player CC and in the last 12 months I have drawn The Penalty Box, English Goof Club, Kelly’s Heroes and a couple of other top 20 turf clubs, and on the other hand had a few turf wars against inactive clubs, swings and roundabouts,lol. Not a real point in playing them for me as I rarely clash and never use all my supers anyway. 
  Don’t think WGT are too interested  in tinkering with the format, still means players are spending credits on balls and passes.

  We have small clubs because that’s what we want , and we play exactly as we want. We don’t play all the turf wars that we activate and only play when we have a chance , like you we can’t use all our super passes , but by playing smart we do often finish in top 100 of clash and I like the format. My club has 78 cc passes all won from clashes,  sitting unused , pity I can’t gift them ! As turf wars are activated randomly there will never be a perfect scenario of matching clubs , just take the rough with the smooth. A mon Avis !

  It's not like Scottish Bravehearts is a small club. TWs aren't even about size of club so much as it is how many of the members play in Bellagio.

  One Bellagio player will win against a club of 50-100 that don't have any Bellagio players. I know. I've done it many times. 

  Just one good Bellagio player (if they want to put forth the effort and time and money on passes) can do anywhere from 100-150 million in a TW. can do even more just showing a potential range.  That total alone from 1 person is enough to beat all clubs except maybe the top 15 or so. 

   

  Now most won't do that but if have 20 bellagio players and they all burn 4 passes and only win 50% of the time. That's 40 wins x 5 million =200 million. all boils down to bellagio. 

  Personally i'd like there to be a 9 hole course for 50 million. 25 million buy in each.

  I guess that's my point, its not about how well a person or club plays its how much coin a club member has and how much they are willing to place on a match. Why not limit the head to head matches to a particular level or group of levels. I would guess that there would be more participation if the money amounts were closer. Why play in a turf war if there is no chance of your club winning?

  I agree. My team had less than 50 people at the time and we were up against a couple of Legend players. The owner of the team was playing in the Paris room while his parter played Bellagio. I think by the time the event ended they had well over 10 million points. I think we gave up after they made 2 million points, which was very early on in the game. 

  But then too, the Club Clashes are not fair either when an opposing team can get on the board with over 3,000 points with just one person playing because of all the trophies they accumulated.

  How is WGT going to match clubs up? What spreadsheet categories are they looking at?

  Clashes are about pure volume. Skill has nothing to do with it.

  at least the Bellagio players are all skillful. I mean if you have a big club then have them build up their coin stacks. 

  If you knew what you were doing it and had some skill it can be done in a week or less. 

  Grinding it out. Maybe 2-3 months to get to 50 million from 0.
