Confused about tiers

  i'm wondering how it is that someone who is on Level 89, has an average score of 79, but hits -20 under par, is still a Pro.  Are the stats calculations not working properly to ensure the person is on the correct tier?

  Copied and pasted from someone else, seen this around a few threads:

  Useful info:

  in summary we have:

  • When your average score is equal or smaller than 100 you go from hack to amateur.
  • When it is equal or smaller than 80 you go from amateur to pro.
  • When it is equal or smaller than 72 you go from pro to tour pro
  • When it is equal or smaller than 67 you go from tour pro to Master
  • When it is equal or smaller than 63 you go from Master to Tour master
  • When it is equal or smaller than 61 you go from Tour master to legend

  and

  • you need to play at least 5 ranked rounds as hack before reaching Amateur
  • you need to play at least 10 ranked rounds as amateur before reaching Pro
  • you need to play at least 20 ranked rounds as Pro before reaching Tour pro
  • you need to play at least 25 ranked rounds as Tour pro before reaching Master
  • you need to play at least 40 ranked rounds as Master before reaching Tour Master
  • you need to play at least 50 ranked rounds as Tour Master before reaching Legend

  Notice that those minimal number of ranked rounds are also the number of best rounds used to compute your average in that particular tier. So if you are Tour Master for example, your average is computed with your best 50 ranked round (that's why you need at least 50 rounds to move up).

  A couple things you should all know. One is that your average starts over after you reach a new tier. Your first round at the new tier will be your new average. Second, the rounds you need to complete as listed above are the number of rounds that you need in that tier. Not total overall. For example, you have to have 25 rounds and an average under 67 in the Pro Tour tier to advance to master.

  Because they're a sandbagger.

  Level and tier aren't related, thus level 89 mainly shows an industrious player (or multiple level boosts below level 65).

  79 average and Pro fit together. There may be some players around where this is honestly justified.

  20 under Par (18 holes) is either a brilliant 52 on any regular course or a super-good 70 on the Par5 course. Difference is, the latter doesn't count towards the average.

  The latter points to a player who hides his skills => probably sandbagger!

  Just curious,but where in any of the previous posts did you see that you are not allowed to ask questions? Asking questions is one reason the forums are here. Keep asking about what you don't understand.
