  Hi Jimmy(2-1),

  As I post your average is sitting at 62.06.

  Given that breaking 60 will move you to TL then you have a fair way to go yet my friend.

  To become a TL means  you taking less than 30,000 strokes in your best 500 ranked rounds.  i.e. 30000/500 = 60.

  Right now with your average @ 62.06 this means you have 1,030 more strokes to lose from your 500 best rounds(62.06 x 500 = 31,030).  

  Basically you need to knock a minimum of 2 strokes off every single one of your 500 best rounds - and even that would leave you roughly 30 strokes from making the step up..lol

   

  As WGT only show averages to two decimal points the above is not exact but near enough for you to track your scores on your own.

  If you use/have Excel it's easy enough to track your average from here on in. Feel free to pm me and I can send you an easy to use basic worksheet containing all your own average data etc.

  Cheers,

  Johnny.

  I thought that MP between legends and TL's didn't alter averages?

  They don't.

  @Chris-500 rounds as Legend. It used to be 400 and the when the TL tier came out you needed an additional 100 rounds to get TL. This is where that 400 changed to 500.

  I could be wrong but I have a friend on here that whilst he was at  legend and beating my a$$ repeatedly in MP would see his average drop - 'I think' may have been more appropriate in the original post, apologies.

  No need for apologies my friend, I wasn't sure, just something I think I read in here.

  You need to play a minimum of 400 ranked rounds as a Legend to be eligible to advance to the Tour Legend tier. 100 additional ranked rounds after the initial 400 ranked rounds needed as a Legend player.

  When you enter the Tour Legend tier, you'll need an additional 500 ranked rounds to saturate your average or for it to start going down again.

  Averages only go up by tenths during the 500 ranked round grace period in the Tour Legend tier and will actual lower by one or two tenths on low (26,27,28) sub30 ranked rounds.

  On ranked rounds of par and higher, expect to see averages go up by at least one full point.

  Averages will always go up with the initial ranked round in a new tier. It all depends on how low a player goes on that first ranked round that will determine what your average will increase to.

  This is confusing. You simply need 500 rounds as a Legend today to be eligible.

  It's probably a good thing the system works this way where Legends beating TLs doesn't move you. That would water down the TL tier and it's rather hard to sandbag at either tier anyway. The whole idea was to get those serious sandbaggers out of the TM and Master tiers and it looks like it works. Who gets hurt by this is another topic.
