Re: Tier Level Ready Go

  I am sure this is not an original thought and forgive my not searching an already existing topic.

  Why are we not tiering the ready go?  You are asking people to lay out credits and play against much better golfers for the same prize pool.  You already tier the free weeklys so why not this?

  Hi dsfreeworld, the current ready-gos are tiered in the sense that you play from the teebox of your tier. However, having tier-specific ready-gos in the future is a possibility, and something we may do later on.

  Yes but tee box does not matter.  These Master shooters are steady high 50's/low 60's no matter what.  And by your logic than why don't you just have all tourneys set up this way?  If playing from our respective tee boxes is what ensures the fairness of the situation than why have you separated the weekly freebies and other premium tourneys?  It's a paradox, no?

  That being the case the ready-go's are disproportionate in nature and a rip-off to most players on this site.  And yes, we have a "Choice" not to play if we feel the way I am stating but how fair is that?  Does WGT want to send a message that says "Here are ready go tournaments, we have not set them up to be fair and just by tier like the other tourneys we run for your credits but if you do not like that than do not play".  Seems like a pretty bad marketing message.

  Perfect Example:

  Here is a Master Player who shoots 5 strokes better than me all day, every day.  And because of this he edges me out on the Ready-Go and I get screwed.  Its a nonsensical system you are running.  You need to change it.  It is unfair, it is not right and it is disturbing that you folks will not recognize and rectify.

  Seriously, I feel llike I have to show you this on each ready go tourney I enter until you guys take it serious nough to do something about it.  The top 3 scroes are masters with 7 and 8stroke better handicaps.  Then comes me and my fellow pros and we are being unjustly punsihed and our money we spend on credits on your site is being stolen from us while you watch and do nothing...
