  I haven't seen these mentioned before and the thread for suggestions doesn't allow a reply so I'd like to lay them out here for discussion.

  1. ) An option to step away from the ball and swing with click with meter running- a real practice swing. Limiting the number of swings might be a condition, or none.

  2.) An addition to the ReadyGo tournaments. Add a ReadyGo open only to those players that have never cashed in a ReadyGo. As soon as you cash in this or any other ReadyGo you wouldn't be eligible to enter. I think this would encourage players to play ReadyGos especially if you take it a step further and tier the RGs by earnings.

  Jim I like your second suggestion, although it wouldn't help me as i did cash in one readygo but I am sure it would make some people more apt to play in them.

  That's where the tiered format kicks in. Different levels of entry limitations like say, less than $5. Eventually force the habitual winners into a smaller, more competitive group, possibly with higher reward. Sandbagging controls are built into the concept automatically.

  Interesting suggestions Jim, thank you.  The 2nd suggestion is something we have already discussed and may look to implement later on. =)
