Do Moderators even check the tournament standings?

  Interesting how Aug 25, the TL stops daily play, and this account starts rolling also.

  This passes my smell test, good job.

  I hate it when people are targeted the could be totally legit, but this TL is completely stupid.

   

  Plenty stupid TL on this site i'm afraid. But,,,,are they really stupid?? Seems like getting away with it easily, maybe the reason they are doing it?

  And......as far as Icon saying report them.....that is a joke! Many have been reported, and still today fleecing players as we speak.

  Kinda like when you were a kid and your mother told you not to do something,,,then you did it and nothing happened. Sooooo did you do it again??  lol

  I do not feel personally a patrol vessel of WGT and even if I do not see what's wrong with this fact, we know very well what are the "conditions" such that I guess if there is something sinister: it is one thing to lose a MPC against a TL member for 4 years and it is one thing to lose a registered TM of 2 months.

  In short, after playing more than 1000 strokes you find yourself if it's luck or cheating, many times you pretend to nothing but in other cases it is correct to report them.

  That's a personal thought fellas, I love this game and I don't give too much attention to those cheaters, scammers or multi accounters. Love to play in every modes but I would like play fair. I opened this thread months ago and the answer lies in the comments.

  Cheers,
  David.

  Yes Fraenkel i understand your point. I personally could really careless. I just think its funny as hell, lol.

  I don't play MP only played about 5 matches since master tier with my starter gear, hehe.

  And......when they do finally move to the legend or TL tier i beat them in a lot of tourneys anyway.

  I just find it seriously funny that they stick out like a sore thumb and nothing gets done to them. Like,,, Hey look at me,,, i'm taking all your credits, lmao!!

  Edit: What even more funny is that WGT actually pays out their credits, hehe. Can't lie, that is some seriously funny shite!

  I think the reporting goes to far though. I seen one case here not so long ago, whereby a Legend would only play P, TP, M and report every loss to WGT to get credits reimbursed.

  Seems kind-of fun to never lose, but shady to say the least and in itself is cheating WGT.

  There are obvious examples, such as the 1 post here with a day or 2 over 2 weeks cleaning up, but other than that, it can get pretty fuzzy drawing some line whereby there is a undeclared certain amount of time before someone can break par.

  4 years ago it took a while to play at even par, but best we had was gi3 balls, g10 irons, wedges were nice,  the drivers were what 272 yards of unforgiving lighting fast meters. Took a while to break par then.

  But today, super forgiving, creepy crawling meters, balls that stick, forums full of distance and wind charts, a gamer could catch on pretty quick with the best equipment.

  I say due diligence is required before calling anyone out.

  Agree both of you dudes, that's way I opened the thread I link up.

  It's hard to find a pard or an opponent so lost the "passion" for challenge games it's part of the game. Play tournaments, played to the bitter end to ship them out by the ears. Then you ever get half an hour in a MPC and nothing, if you're lucky you can find a Legend or a Legend tour that makes your same road but if you go wrong you will find a Master that gives you a beating.

  No matter, it is also important for me to talk about it. Find people who know how to give their ideas has become a rare thing, almost like finding a partner for a match play. What then what you may lose, two or three bucks you could invest in a RG would later be won by a "usually known."

  As I said in another thread I prefer to remain a mediocre player but how much less loyal and sporty. Ask for the support to WGT is important because it may not have eyes for all games played during the day, go hunting for dodger is foolish but if you have any doubts are just the ones who can verify the merits.

  It 'been a pleasure chatting with you.

  See ya in the greens.

  Yep that would be tough for 2 reasons, 1 your greens are pretty slick and 2 In the challenge games, although your average may be a bit higher, you did at some point achieve a 60 average as a Legend. A good game yes, donating no thanks.

  But there is always the free mode, never a problem getting a game there, keeping 1, well that's another story in another thread.

  I just had a look at a few of the current stroke play on offer.

  One chap is leading the 'HACK' category in three tournaments - WK35 18 Hole Single Play, The Michelin Challenge, and Best of Par 5.

  Good find Pete.

  Busted, big time.

   

   

  I can answer at the Peter's quest of the thread: yes, yes they do.

  With a little help but they definitely do and that's make me glad: voices are heard.

  The point of my OP is how blatant this is. The mods cannot supervise every tournament, and certainly not all the RGs.

  However, I would expect someone at WGT to run a cursory eye over the monthly and weekly stroke play tournaments to check all is in order. A once a week 30 minute job.

  A hack scoring that low on three tournaments with the best equipment and real top end stats can't be that hard to find. And a top ten leaderboard with the same name on it 4 times.
