  I would hazard a guess at 'no' Paul. As your average reflects the scores you achieve in your current tier what you played in as a legend won't affect you now & congratulations on your achievement.

  (Perhaps I should just go outside and do some gardening instead, hehe).

  ive just turned TL,will my averege change in the legend tourneys i am playing?,or will it just change in TL games? thanks

  Any ranked round you post will affect your average. I was in a few Legend unlimited tournaments when I turned TL and my average definitely changed with each round, regardless of where it was played.

  The first round I played as a TL was in a Legend unlimited tournament where I shot a 28 which made my average 56 at the time.

  HI there,

   

  Iam closing to 500 ranked rounds. Iam like now 420 or something as legend alone. Right now I score 29 and my average drop out like .2. Thats damn slow and its takes I don't know how much to reach less than 60 average. So my question is, after completion of my 500 ranked rounds as legend, will my scoring pattern of average reset and scoring 29 will make much difference of average dropping down or it will be the same as before?

   

  Please reply

  Thanks

  You need 500 rounds of 30. Each 29 takes a higher score away. If you have a lot of 31s to get rid of, that 29 will make less and less difference as you get near the end, just by the weight of the numbers.

  Also be aware that, as I understand it, 500 ranked rounds does not include par 3s and par 5s which are ranked when played, but don't count towards the 500 for averages. Also I now believe a "custom" course in your CC comps does not count either. I counted exact numbers of ranked rounds at Legend level, and it took around 535 before I reached "saturation" to only go down in averages.

  Thanks for the reply.

  Well, I completed my 500 RR's. I was around 69.21 average. After that saturation happened. There after I kinda moved quickly like .23. Now again back to .2 scoring. Right now aim 65.58. So heres another journey starting. I think it will be another 400 to 500 RRS to come under 60 average to become TL. Its wgt rules, gotta do it. Good luck myself lol

  It doesn't reset then, but counting will be a tad different, because the number of 500 scores stays constant.

  As Jim pointed out, any (and only) scores better than the highest in the mix will replace the highest and thus modify the average. That .23 drop equals a score difference of 0.23*500 = 115 which is incredible, pointing to a 170+ score in the mix.

  As any high scores are being replaced, the per-game effect will cease. In the end, each shot stripped, e.g. a 62 replacing a 63, will modify the average by 1/500 = 0.002 - invisible due to the rounded display. This is what I call the effect of the big denominator (500).

  It's a grind for sure - keep up the fun of the game!
