Amazing Player Stats!

  I recently tiered up to Legend...and currently struggling a bit as we all know the game gets a bit harder....and I understand from other players...I need to play 400 t=ranked rds to level off in terms of the average fluctuating...as now if I score a +1...my avg will go up a tenth or two.....so that's well understood.......I have a total of 4 yrs playing..with 1,985 ranked rds played!

  Now...I just played a player ....a Legend with an average of 62.6,.....this player joined WGT in March, 2013...7 months ago and ALREADY is a Legend...amazing isn't it?  Get this....the number of ranked rds this player played is....24,...(twenty four)....1 (one) eagle....83 birdies,....119 pars,...1 (one) dbl bogey.

  Now to me...all the above has me asking...what happened to that 400 ranked round requirement?? How in the world....can one achieve Legend with those "stats". More power to this player, no doubt,...but I'm at odds with Legend tier based on the numbers in the stats!

  Am I missing something?? If so...please explain to me what I'm missing here!  I'm curious.....and don't remind me what  curiosity  did to the cat!! lol lol    Tks

  What type of match play record does this player have? Defeating higher level players was getting players tiered up more quickly than stroke play. A lot of match play could explain it.

  +1!

  I've seen some players "march through" the system with a preference of match play.

  In terms of the questions posed, it usually (conservatively) takes a minimum of 150 rounds to become a Legend. 500(!) rounds are necessary in addition for the saturation of a Legend average.

  As to your curiosity, "why bother?" This player has found a way to move through the system at light speed, but which advantage may he take from that except from bragging rights? I see none.

  Edit: underlined

  The player's match play record is.....ZERO......and it bothers me NOT as to the player's status , in sofar as the tier.......I simply am amazed that a player plays 24 ranked rounds and  hops over 5 tiers ,.......boggles my mind,......the more I think of it...the more amazed I am....but I'll not lose sleep over it.....and BTW....the player is not bad,...a nice person...and a good player...we're now actually friends!

   

  However I will NOT bother to pester this player with questions as to how all this was managed!

   

  And one more thing......don't you think that if you  joined  today as a Hack...and played but 24 ranked rounds......level 81 would be rather far fetched????

  Not correct. Their record against legends alone is 90-81. A fraction of this number of wins against legends is enough to get you legend status.

  And 7 months playing just matches and picking up your daily play bonus is plenty enough to get you to level 81.

  Huh??  Dude...lol.  I just checked the player in question. Yes only 24 rounds.

  But......... lol...  90-81 match play record against legends.

  And...... has a whole bunch of match play rounds. This is what the player likes to play. Simple how they moved up.

  Also now with level up and speed boost level 81 is nothing now. Shame really, i was brought up old school.

  The legend tier has been slightly tarnished..... no.... really tarnished..lol. But that is the way it is now.

  Edit:  Sorry Mags posted at same time.. hehe

  Sorry my friend...you looked up the WRONG player....the player I'm referring to has NO.....I'll repeat...NO match play games ......now consider this....24 ranked rounds.....now IF a player played a match play game with a Legend and wins the match......and subsequently reduces the average.......need NOT that round be played as a "RANKED" round??????    If the player you checked on was the one in question here......wouldn't the number of ranked rounds be MORE than 24?????

  The player's profile reveals in the "stats"..that NO MP games are recorded!

  Question.... this player is on your friend list? Possibly listed the last one??  hehe

  If so.. looked up correct player, and this player has many.. many MP rounds. And.... only 24 ranked rounds. I would say that this is the player in question.  No?

  Their choice of play. With the new sandbagging rules in effect,, that is going to happen when beat legends.

  Also this player join March 2013 and has average just like you said 62.6. Seems same player to me...no? Last player for you to friend. I think have correct player.

  And... this player has 1 eagle...83 birds...119 pars..29 bogies...1 double. Hmmm... seems like exact player to me...lol.

  Are you sure you know how to look at match play stats? Once click on stats must go to match play and click on that. Hopes this helps.
