WGTicon- is there a reason why no time limit was put on it? I would think that rather than drive your "silent majority" of customers into a more and more difficult tiers the collection of the best scores should have been limited to scores from, say, the last 365 days. It seems that over a period of years someone will post enough "1 out of a 1000" rounds to move up even though the overall scores and skills don't warrant it..
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of purely recreational players who were just "killing time" here and enjoying it are quietly cutting the number of rounds they play or quit playing entirely because they are being forced into tiers where they realistically don't belong.
