    The brackets are a work in progress. Wake up. And those that find that they are up against higher tier players, You obviously put winning above all else. Does the word "compete", compute? Do you ever plan on getting better or be a lower tier forever. WD is not the way to go under any circumstances.

    Well said sir. You learn more by losing than you do from winning.

    Well said GV.

    I will take it a step further - this game is a constant learning curve. In my journey I used to avoid playing with high tiered players for a while. Then one day I joined a game as a lowly Tour Pro with 3 legends - every one of them gave me tips and advice. Needless to say, my game improved immeasurably playing with them and subsequently, other higher ranked players.

    Sure not all of them helped but the ones that did I thanked.

    OK in brackets you will not play with the higher players but you will play in conditions that will help you in the future.

    If winning is all that matters, go and play hacks only - just do not expect to improve.

    I just noticed the payouts for the credit Brackets.  I think they are pretty good and maybe better than R/Go's.

    100crs to enter....   if you make the final that is 4 rounds you will play at 25crs a game.  Very Good Value and the payouts are well worth it.

    Yeah, WGT's rake is 10% on the brackets as opposed to 20% on RGs. I like the bracket payout structure better as well. Only 25% of places paid, but no payouts less than the entry fee.

    but think of that. u win one 9 hole 100c rg. u get 600c. u have to play what? 5 18 holers and win them all to win 120 cr more then winning a single 9 holer? I think its a waste. all the ball hits you're using just win that much. when u turn around you only making probably 200c profit depending on what balls you use. and that's IF you win. just my opinion :)

    but its a great idea and something wgt actually got creative with. they're horrible with the rg's so I guess someone did good with the brackets.

    The brackets are a work in progress.

    Did they ever resolve the massive bug related to timing etc.? After the initial disappointment, I won't waste my time doing the brackets again until they think it is really fixed. (And certainly not for money if I were ever inclined to go there. I see they are now available for money.) Any idea?

    Yes they fixed the bug about getting booted and not being able to restart.  However, it is now tierless, which means TL will be winning everything, you know the ones that shoot birdie (or eagle) every hole.  Until it is tier based I will stick to match play.

    Brackets have always been tierless.
