  There's no playoffs...  You would have lost on a countback

  Read this and it will tell you how the countback system works

  I've noticed people still Withdrawing from Brackets.

  I think all the previous problems we had has been fixed.....Apart from timing out, I think everybody should complete their games regardless of how bad you think your score s going, because you don't know what the other person is going to do.

  I shot a 34 on Beth F9 ...   I usually shoot lower scores on there and was getting a bit annoyed (won't say what I was really thinking...lol)  and I was also think of pulling the pin, but finished the game.

  My opponent Wd'd ....   and I'm in the SF.

  I've encountered the same problem and am very frustrated by this. I've also been WD'd from tourneys when I have been watching the clock countdown to make sure I played at the earliest possible time.

  I would really like to know why some wait two days before a round is closed?

  And why ties are not settled with a playoff of some sort?

  Perhaps in the credit brackets as you are then playing against many of the top TL and Legends.

  But looking at your stats and score history, I think you are wasting your credits entering. I just play the free brackets occasionally for fun and I have won several brackets and I am no TL or have an average under 60, so it is possible.

  To be blunt, I think you could be tossing good money away in a tiered bracket as well.

  Yep . . .the non tiered brackets for credits are being swept up by the Tour Legends , . . . . . waste of money big time. Hey in a second round there is no ay to eat a 53 or a 54. Great way for TL to rake in credits. THIS IS BS

  I'm a TL ....  sorry for being a pain.....lol.

  I've made a few credit Semi's but that's as far as I can go (which I don't mind)... only because I hate the course, which always kill me ...lol.

  Play the Course and not your Opponent. If you can't beat the course, then you won't beat anybody.  If you can't shoot low/middle 60's or low 30's (forget about the 20's/50's) then stick to the free Brackets.  

  Brackets are also good to map out the courses because you will be playing the same course in all the ones you enter....  until Wgt changes them. 

  After saying all that....   If you do enter the credit comps....   It's good to    'Dare to Dream'

  As most on this post I can't get my score posted for Pro Free (3rd Round) bracket ID# 16459 & it will be over in the next few minutes. Please try to correct these issues. I scored either 36 0r 37. I imagine I will be shown WD. Bummer!!
