  Weird. Can only mean one thing imo: avg is saturated. My math is useless here (As my teachers concluded many decades ago :-))

  It's gotta be hasn't it ?..The  only thing I can think of is getting rid of the 68's when 1st Legend...I thought I'd only done around 700 ranked to get Legend, musta been less.

  Thx for taking time to try figure it out, appreciated...7th

  PUHOLINO:

  With over 1000 total rounds (I'm almost sure it didn't take you more than 500 rounds to reach L), combined with what you're describing, it's saturated for sure. You're gonna be a TL in a month or so. Congrats!

  You must be right Officer F :))...Ave still plummeting with average scores so....

  I think you right T/ L soon..not sure I'm ready but.. (YES I am) .LOL

  One way o getting to play on Champ greens :)

  If that's the case, Newbie to T/L in under 11  months and L93 3/4 :)...Giving myself a pat on the back, just for sheer hours per day played.

  I think this math will apply:

   

  (LT+P) = F (Gs+VEM)

  Where:

  LT = Legend Tier

  P = Promotion

  F = Frustration

  Gs = GreenSpeed

  VEM needs no further introduction, but due to ever growing frustration it will (virtually squared) increase hyperbollically

  29 = 58...Shouldn't make any difference. You should be able to figure out the number of rounds the avg is calculated with using this formula:

   

  X = (Avg 2 - R) / (Avg 1 - Avg 2)

  X = number of rounds played over wich Avg is calculated

  Avg 1 = Average before R

  Avg 2 = Average after R

  R = Strokes played in round (corrected for 18 holes; 28=56, 29=58 etc)

   

  Could you please figure this out for my hillbilly brain.

  Avg. before 61.62

  Avg. After 61.61

  Round of 30 which = 60

  Trying to figure out how many rounds I have at Legend. I think its around 247.

  You can't explain it with saturation.

  Whether saturated or not, the ave. won't go up from a score below the average itself: 28=56 vs. 62.x   This in itself is impossible.

  There may be side effects from former RGs which have come to be payed out, alas only reducing the average.

  Sometimes it depends on where you look at the average: The main screen may be delayed against the game window.

  I'm afraid to see no logic in the numbers, much less in the conclusions.

  Edit: scratched my errors.

  If you have no conclusion..then.

  Please explain where my logic fails me in the following example:

  Mr. X played 500 rounds in Legend tier, let us assume 500 is the saturation number. He played 499 rounds of 28, and 1 round of 1028 (it's about the principle here, not golf. Cause let's face it.....1028...who can wait THAT long to get to #19??)

  I calculate his avg to be 30 at this point.

  Let's assume our Mr. X playes round 501 and finishes on a (relatively good)  528. In my logic the average over his best 500 rounds now is lower then 30.....29 to be exact.

  Or am i missing something?

  Sure you can. You must have seen it wrong, cause Andy's avg never went up, only down, even when he scored higher than his avg at the tima. So it's 100% certain the saturation kicked in.

  Only happens to tiers below legend, the new legislation has zero influence on us (thus far). They're trying to fill the TL in a different way, half the legend RGs are from medium tees, so you can't really score higher than 30.
