  Scoton:

  The only real solution I can think of would be the complete elimination of the ability for players to win credits by winning games.

  If they can crack that nut it would be Utopia, nay the Holy Grail .......................One can only wish I guess:)

  Interesting point though! Could it be possible? Would it make a difference to competition?

  I edited my previous post, to add "below Legend Tier" because as far as I know, sandbagging and multi-accounting don't have much effect on Legend and Tour Legend payouts (if those forms of cheating even take place at those Tiers at all), since those players are presumably at the top of the skill pyramid in this game anyway.

  I think if the main incentive to cheat (easy credits) is eliminated, most of the cheating will stop. The only remaining incentive would be "bragging rights", so cheating would not completely disappear. But if all the cheaters win are false bragging rights, so what?

  If the credit incentive to cheat is removed you may well see WGT go out of business and they probably know it. They have made such a concerted effort to cater to and promote cheating that if they were to attempt to stop it they would see a marked decline in equipment sales and tournament entries.
