    This would be so easy to do.

    You run it like the Fedex points system.

    Each season runs for 3 months. You have 10 weekly comps. The top 70 qualify for 2 further weekly comps and the top ten after this are invited back for the end of season decider.

    Each week  for the first 10 weeks 10,000 points are distributed among the top 70 placed players using the same percentage formulas WGT used for distributing credits currently.

    The top 70 players(those with the most points) after the first 10 weeks play in 2 further events that each have 20,000 points available.

    The top 10 after these final 2 tournaments make it to the end of season shoot out.

    The thing to make this work though is making the prizes worth the effort.

    I would suggest a 100,000 credit payout for the final 10, distributed something like this;

    1st place          25,000

    2nd place         17,000

    3rd place          15,000

    4th place          12,000

    5th place           10,000

    6th place           8,000

    7th place            6,000

    8th place            4,000

    9th place             2,000

    10th place           1,000

    There would be no prizes in the first 12 weeks, you are just playing for points.

    If you're going to finance this through the tournament you need 200 people paying an entrance fee of 500 credits. I don't know how likely that would be?

    To be honest this would be very simple to run as a community run tournament using the weekly single play comp but the nightmare would be the financing.

    It would be a lot easier for WGT to set this up

    WGT are more interested in   Adverts than creating community comps.It's a shame because the lack of motivation shown and wiliness to listen to players concerns especially when so many say how the friend list movement affects their meter will only lead to a mass exodus of established players when PP takes off!!  Of course WGT will say to themselves " Who cares we have new players coming daily" Yes you do but without benchmark players the site will die! Chance to act now WGT and start listening to your loyal everyday players or suffer the consequences in the near future! Your game is far from perfect although the graphics and personalities in this place are first class,but that isn't enough.Create ideas to keep long serving players here would be a step in the right direction no??

    I messaged Mr Shoe a while back , im sure he wont mind me putting this up,granted the first effort at a competition diddnt run quite to plan , but at least it was something.The only trouble was that it was very limited  player wise......lets hope for something more substantial next time round.

    I think that is definitely something that can be done fairly quickly.  I have been trying to figure out some ways to get the Nation Tournaments in the Forums to the next level, and this could be the exact way to do it.  New type of tournament each week with different variables, points awarded per placement and bonus points for specific awards like longest drive, chip ins, or longest putt.  I think this can work out nicely... Thank you for the suggestion.

    OK thanks for the info. Let's see if this is going to happen anytime soon :) .

    It will be single play for the most part.  Each week will have a different style game play and different club restrictions.  There will also be a long drive and closest to the hole competition every week.  Points will be given based on placement and winning the long drives and closest to the hole.  Points will be added up to determine the winner.  Should be pretty interesting.
