Hi Dazza,
Thanks for coming up with this list, and taking this on.
I know I'm not a frequent RG participant, so don't want to press my point too much, but here's some feedback from the perspective of a 'very ordinary' Legend who might try might more of these if the circumstances were worth the risk!
I think there should be a higher proportion of Tiered ReadyGo's. Right now, for Legends, there are 6 out of 20... so cutting that in half down to 3 seems drastic. To me, a tiered RG makes it much more likely that I'd take part, figuring I'd have a chance to get top 15 (and my stake back) if I'm not also up against all the TL's.
Re the Uneven Lie suggestions: I'd urge us to propose one 9 holer at 50 cr, to be viewed as the 'try-it-out' one, where the stake is low enough that anyone might feel they can give it a shot, but that it's one of the toughest set-ups so that par becomes a great score.
I'd also argue for one at 500 cr for the serious uneven lie addicts (as a full 18 on a tough course, or even at a fun course like Cabo [as you suggested earlier] or Whistler which can't otherwise be played in unevens).
And I'd recommend that both of those should be all-tier.
The other one, or preferably two, Uneven Lie RGs could be 100 cr and 200 cr versions, one on a popular course (as with the current St Andrews one), and one on something more challenging @ 200 cr, but that these could be tiered.
Unevens is still so new to many players that offering chances for them to try it within their own tier only is surely the best strategy to encourage these to fill. And, although I recognize the overall tendency to set higher entry fees across all these proposed RGs, I think there's an argument to keep the range a little lower with the Unevens ones, as it's a newer format.
Thanks for considering,
Corwyn
