Making Tour Legend

  Yes, from a bragging stand point.  I didnt care about my average, so after I made legend my average was a respectable 72.00.  Such a pain in the butt  to be bringing that done.  When other legends have posted better scores for their first rounds, it has taken me longer to mine down to where they are at after a few rounds.  That is what I am talking about.  I know it will all come in due time, and this is not taking away from me playing.  It is just effected how many ranked rounds I am playing.  Not really doing the "push" that I was doing 2 weeks ago, when I was under the impression that I only needed "100" rounds though.

   

  Really wish there was a way that I could see how many ranked rounds I have played as a "legend"

  Your score history says:

  142 from June 29.

  Perhaps you can make an educated guess from turning legend and combine it with your total of 1122 rounds as of now.

  yeah, my educated guess is around 300.  I have been a legend since Aug. of 2011.  So I got a ways to go.

  It was comments in ladders Mo that motivated me to not make the same mistake, and shoot a silly score in the first couple of rounds as a legend.

  I went to my favorite places and made sure i shot 32 or less, cos I knew how hard it would be to get down from 70 average.

  Once I had 20 rounds in the bag and a 65/66 avreage I was happy, cos as our mathematical genius Alosso will tell ya, the more u have in the bank, the less you will go up, until u reach 500.

  When  I played 300 ranked rounds during the Olympics ( 17 days ) i went up 1.0 on my average from 65.65. to 66.80, so that was cool, i reached 500 rounds.

  Now almost every round I shoot I come down.

  Does this confirm that once a legend hits 500 rounds as a legend the average only counts the lowest 500 rounds?  I haven't seen any concrete evidence of this since the last update.  I am very interested in knowing.

  There's a whole bunch of TLs that can speak for it.
