  Thanks, and well done to WGT for taking into consideration the blandness and complaints about this months ready go's (3 x 18 hole Oakmont for example) and have gone out of their way to add a few extra courses to the list.  This is what we're talking about, every course to choose from (apart from poor old Bethpage) and has given us all a wider choice of course to play.  We all have our favorite course, i prefer O;ympic, others might prefer Kiawah or Cabo, at least now there's enough to keep every one happy (unless Poor old neglected Bethpage is your favorite.LOL)  Nice 1 WGT. happy days....Off to play cabo...Wahay!!!

  When I register to play in any tournament I get the message that I am not eligible to play !

  As I have had no trouble before I would like to know what has happened.

  Mysterious things happen recently...

  First of all, yesterday I suddenly got a message that I've become Legend, although I didn't post any score at that time! Previously I posted a score reducing my average from 61.1 to 61.08, but that was a few hours earlier and the average was still above 61... Not that I mind tiering up, it would anyway have happened in the coming days or weeks, I just don't get why now.

  Secondly, on the ready-go column of the website now tournaments of ALL tiers are displayed, but it's not possible to register... Showing tournaments of all tiers is really not a good idea as it makes harder to spot which of these can actually be played. If the registration on the website is gone, that would be sad too, forcing people to start gameclient for registering even if they don't want to play at that time...

  I would appreciate some comment from admins if these are bugs or features :) If i missed some info in the other forums regarding this, sorry.

  There was some talk about using a player's alt. shot and tournament performance as additional criteria in determining tier in the last MrWGT chat. Maybe that has something to do with it...? I didn't really hear anything about this actually being implemented yet, though.

  This might be the case... Actually I got tiered up at the same time I received a prize for one tourney (but NOT when the score was posted or made public). So that means the days of clear cut boundaries between tiers (63, 61, 60) are gone?

  Same problem. Never been excluded for a 'pay for' tournament in 18 months as a member. Then today I get this on one of our CC's tournaments:

  

  WGT have my correct country of residence since I joined.

  Have the gambling laws in South Africa been changed?

  btw. This has also been inflicted with some of our U.K. members.

  With regards to my post above.

  The courtesy of a reply/response would be greatly appreciated.

  This problem has not gone away and I am STILL excluded from playing in ANY tournament.
