I've never posted before but this is quite interesting.
Firstly this is a game and should be enjoyed, but it it should also be enjoyable.
SteveW65, you comments and advice are very sensible, thanks and yes there are some really great players out there.
I do have a couple of thoughts though.
Firstly, it seems that WGT are either not interested, do not have the resources or cannot be bothered with various problems that arise and I suppose it then comes down to individuals as to whether they/we want to play or not.
With regard to cheating my view changes. Cheating is not good for any game but perhaps we should look at why people cheat. Is it for personal status, is it because they are incapable of getting up the ladder on ability alone or do they just want to win regardless.
If, however, it is for financial or monetary gain then I have to ask the question, are these individuals actually committing a criminal act. They (the cheaters) may not look upon it as such but if they are then maybe WGT should take a more serious view.
If you feel that way keep complaining.
In the coins head to head I have come across numerous players that play far better than their handicap or tier would suggest, maybe dual account holders. I have forwarded details to WGT but it's obviously in the too hard basket.
Overall a great game and I have met some great people.
The idea of playing in CC tourneys and against 'friends' only may be the answer, don't support other tournaments?
