Suggestion for Ready Go's

  Not sure about other Tiers,  but the TL R/Go's and High Roller comps are taking way too long to fill up.

  I think the reason this is happenning is, when we spend the credits to enter a comp, we can't afford (for some)  to wait as long as a month to get the credits back (if any), This is why people are waithing until the comp gets close to filling up.  As I said before, this could be a month or more.

  I would like to suggest a Time Limit of a week for Comps like this.  If not filled to max, then the people who have entered can share the rewards.

  I also think, if there is a time limit.... then the Comps might fill up quicker.

  Just Saying

  i agree ....if they stuck a timescale for entering then they might fill up quicker and if not, then it could be started with the entrants.

  hi

  i am not sure if we can set such limited, but if you can tell me what rg's tl/l prefer, so they close faster, we'd be glad to try and accommodate.

  I know there is a time limit when the comp fills. Wgt should be able to set a time limit to enter and as previously said, the people who have entered already,  shares the rewards if it doesn't fill up.

  The low credit R/Go's open to everybody are not a problem, they fill up in a day or 2

  Not sure about othere Tiers, but the T/L R/Go's take forever to fill. One T/L comp I entered awhile back it seemed it took about a month to payout and I can't afford to have the credits locked away for that long, that's if I got any back...lol

  High Roller R/Go takes awhile too. The current one is (59059),   We'll see how long that takes to complete.  I think the last 2000cr comp is still 4hrs from paying out.

  I don't believe it has anything to do with the amount of credits it is to enter. Most high stakes games attract the best players here, and if you feel you can't shot a 54-55-56, you will not be competitive, so most will not enter. it's a matter of score not credits.

  just my thought

  Yep, your correct there.  My main concern was the Tiered comps. I can only speak of the TL tier r/go's

  Agree with this. I love to play the high stakes RG's but sometimes i think to myself is it worth risking 2000cr on the off chance i get a vem/meter jump free round. The way it is now as soon as you par 1 hole you know you have no chance of winning.

  I think the answer is to make the game harder. Playing RG's was a lot more fun a year a go when a 58/59/60 was a good score.

  This is true Dazz.

  I remember way back, I was winning these comps with 30's. Shooting a 63 on Cong and getting a top10 finish in a high credit R/Go was a buzz....lol These days a score like that will be lucky to win any credits.

  With all the new clubs and balls and maybe other things, shooting in the low 20/50's is the norm and for me and many more is very hard to get.

  I don't know how they can make em harder,  high winds... U/Lies....  Maybe make the holes longer.

  Make the greens faster is the answer Roger. I've playing in the tournie that Icon & Shoe set up and the greens are lightning fast. A 66 in that tournie is a great score.

  it's a matter of score not credits.

  I'm with you there, I cannot birdie every hole, even if I'm on fire with the ding, the club precision has been slowly over a couple of weeks slowly been getting wider and wider..

  I just played the no wind 10th CCC wk 52 maybe 200 times today, tried every ball here, and while I can birdie the hole plenty, i was looking to see if there was something close to repeatable in precision or at least a 4 or 5 yard circle and i failed to find it.

  When I found a shot, power, spin and a ball combo that dropped the ball within 7 ft I tried repeating the same shot several times and the ball was dropping all over the place. I'm estimating my current circle of precision at 9 yards with any nike ball, 7 yards with the Cally.I'm not great at geometry, but i believe that makes it a 14 yard circle of precision was the best I could find today.

  The cally ball is definitely better, but still not nearly tight enough in precision if I'm expected to have to birdie every hole to compete.

  There's no point in me entering a rg anymore, not that I'm that good to win them all, for sure I'm not, but i used to be able to count on a good dinging round every now and again and get in the top 10 and rarely even squeak out a win. In addition I used to have a pretty good idea of the shot that was needed to get with 3 or 4 yards, all that was left after that was for me to make the ding. I'm at a total loss here on what to do. I suppose I could somehow improve my 30 foot putting range, but watching them slip a little high or a little low hole after hole tells there's not much point there either.

  Even my MPC play is gone to pot, I'm playing like i did when I was a hack with my g10's and GI3 ball days.

  So to those of you that still have a little precision in your clubs, enjoy the game, it's a great 1 and plenty of fun can be had here. But I think maybe I have finally worn out my welcome here. :-(
