  Well spotted, funny how WGT have not realized they can make more rake from 50 cr's...But you have, maybe they'll go by your findings...they should do if it makes them more rake.

  Totally agree with 50cr RG's...when playing like poop, and trying to "get in the groove", I'd prefer a 50cr RG...I don't play practice rounds, or ranked rounds by myself...RG's. CC tourneys and AS for me,,,give me a 50cr RG to warm up, get back on track, etc...I'm a happy camper...lol

  When they brought out the 50c Andy's, it was turning over 4 times or more per day.  That's at least twice as much revenue as a 200c that fills every 2 days.

  Ready go's cant turn over more than twice a day because as it says in rules, "12 hours after tournament fills" Making it 2 a day!

  St andrews turns over twice a day WHATEVER the price, even $20.  So ST andrews is a goldmine.

  Chris, they can turn over more than twice a day - a quick look at the RG Results page shows you - and bhoese is right with the 50C KI RG - it's filled out around 17 times in the past 3 days alone.

  After an RG is filled it restarts on the game page, but not for those who entered the original filled RG - they have to wait unit the original RG pays out before the option is there for them to play again. Besides, 12 hours is the maximum, so a single player could play the same RG more than twice in a day if it turned around quick enough.

  As long as the RGs are varied in both courses, conditions (I'd like to see more variation with green speeds like there used to be) and Credits, I don't think people can have too much cause for complaint.
