spitlist:And if I just have to play a set number of rounds until this extra punishment is relaxed, tell me how long or how many rounds that entails so I can know that there is light at the end of this tunnel and not a train coming back at me.
For starters forget asking WGT about proprietary specifics. Ain't happening. That light at the end of your tunnel is there, you just have to keep going in the right direction to see it. This IS in your head because by the sound of it, the frustration level is approaching DEFCON 5.
I figured you've been on Legend speeds before and were familiar with that version of them. All Legend (meaning Legends only) tournaments and matches have the true Legend speeds, and there is a difference. It mainly manifests itself in down hill rolls and severity of breaks and you pointed out both of those in your post, indirectly.
You will get there, everybody does. It just takes this frustration you're going through, some call it a learning curve, to get you to improve. Quit trying so hard, it'll come. ;-)
