gatordee: But I ask this, who is the real idiot?
why shouldnt people "sandbag"..just because some people would rather play scored/practice/challenge games doesnt make them bad people,the wgt staff/admin now put matchplay stats on show for anyone to see before they commit to play.The only whingers are those who lose credits.Level ups can be earned whether or not you play ranked games,although some equiptment is unobtainable untill a certain tier is reached.Calling people who are doing very well "cheats" is very unsportsman like behaviour so give it a rest and play the bloody game without all the bitching !! (rant over)

The reason people dont like "Sandbagging" is really simple actually. It goes against the nature of sports and fair play. Seriously not hard to comprehend. Shoot look at the Olympics recently and the Badminton Tournment, the best players did not make the finals because they were tossed for "Sandbagging" and rightfully so.
As YJ says above me though this doesnt go against any rules whats so ever as the game is designed the way it is, period. But definatly goes against the spirit of this game and any game for that matter.
This is the points and why people dont like "Sandbaggers", plus these type of people can discourge new people from playing, I for one am glad they came out with the win %'s like you said no reason to *** and moan now about it as you can see the stats in advance, but a real bagger would also lose games to keep that stat reasonable so the person doesnt think they are bagin if you know what I mean.
