  Is there a way of knowing how many games you have toward that 500 number?

  Only thing to see, is when your average saturates...i/e only goes down, unless you've been keeping track of all your rounds as some do....then count forward from 8/2.

  Note how many ranked game you played at the time you made legend.,and keep track from there I believe

  too true Harvey .. i'm @ 60.81 now & aiming for sub-60 .. and it's tough as hell for me ..

  a 30 lowers my avg with only 0.01 .. 29 with 0.03 & 28 with 0.05 .. 

  it really puts players with avg's in mid to mid-high 50's in perspective .. hats off to them

  Since I was elevated to the Legend tier, all my rounds have been "RANK"

  After 15 rounds as TL avg is still fluctuating.  It'll be interesting to see how many rounds it takes to saturate.

  This is my question as well. I have played 18 rounds as a Tour Legend player and my average still fluctuates. New TL averages stay the same or lower with a round of 31, and goes up with a round of 32 and higher. TL averages will climb at a good clip with a round of par or higher.

  Well, one needed 400 rounds to have a stabilized average as legend before the update (while it's only 50 for Tour master). So I am expecting at least 1000 rounds (if there is any stabilization

  The 400 round number is the best number to go by to see if a TL average saturates. If TL averages continue to fluctuate after 400 rounds, then most likely TL averages were born to fluctuate which perhaps means there will be no more new tiers above TL, ever.

  Richard, I just logged round 421 as a TL and avg is still floating, but in very small increments.  It takes two rounds of 28 to drop it .01 and likewise two rounds of 30 to raise it .01...so I'm guessing it saturates at 500 rounds.  I should know in two or three weeks if 500 is the number.

  Hit my 500 ranked round as a Tour Legend a week or so ago. And on my 501 ranked round i shot a 32 and my average went down .03. So i guess 500 ranked rounds as a Tour Legend and your average will not go up anymore. I have hit some not so great rounds and average is not going up at all.

  Whack em good guys,

  Thanks, James
