Jim im a legend and to get to legend you need an avg of 61.00 or something like that i cant quite remember
Anyway my point is i dont know how i ever got a 61.00 avg as i dont have a 61.00 avg game my avg now is about right 67.2 i have what i consider good games 60-65 and i also have bad games 70-72 so how i got to legend is beyond me i guess that im there because of many hours playing the game thats all i can come up with
What i also noticed whilst being in the master and tour master tiers was if i played a tier higher than me in MP and before the game my avg was 65.8 and i won then my avg would go down to around 65.00 where it would normally go down .2 of a point if i played the same tier and won
The game baffles me as to how some people can get to legend (me included) when they have never had the game to actually get to a 61.00 avg in the 1st place
You probably got moved up through one of two ways.
1. Saturation: Once you reach the requisite number of ranked rounds at Tour Master (50 iirc) then your average is only based on the BEST remaining 50 ranked rounds, so an occasional 60 will remove a higher score you may have made months previously but those occasional 70s would have no effect. This is a well-known method.
2. The exact way this works is much less well-known but if you played MP, AS against higher ranked players (or win MP / tournaments) then your average is significantly reduced EACH TIME you beat a higher ranked player, but that reduction reduces round by round over the next 20 - 25 rounds. If you have several wins tracking the reduction is extremely difficult especially if you then mix it with regular solo stroke play rounds.
Finally, it is becoming clear that WGT also has something in play whereas if you ONLY play MP / AS then the number of ranked rounds is bypassed in some way. These 'anti-sandbagger' systems are deliberately obtuse to prevent people using the system to their advantage.
