Excuse me, no offence intended, but me thinks that you act way too agitated.
A 62(!) credits win certainly is not the sole reason for the promotion of this player. He must have been close, marginally above 63.0, and this win was only the last straw, combined with the score of 64.
His score record is remarkable:
Four 29s and several better results may come from Par3 CC tournaments.
Then, 2x30, 10x31, 21x32, 14x33, 15x34, one each 62, 63, 64, 1000++ credits of earnings, need I say more?
IMHO he was ripe for advancement, if not this week, then anytime soon!
Congratulations for that accomplishment!
OTOH, you certainly know this part of the business model well. There are two major steps in the advancement of players, at Master and at Legend, where an upgrade of equipment is almost inevitable.There have been others who had to grind their teeth into the courses
for some time, maybe avoid some, and then invest an amount for their pleasure.
Also do I not think that this "side" effect of the anti-sandbagging efforts has only come by chance. They wanted our best, also for themselves.
Enjoy!
