   My average score does not change no matter how good i do in the stroke play games is that not how you you get average score can WGT please check into this for me.

  Also why are we being asked if we want to concede a put that is 30 feet long this shouldn't happen until around 2 feet.  

   

  thank you oldman170

  1. Scores on the Best of Par 5 course do not count toward your average. It looks like it's been a month since you posted a score that should affect your average. That's why it hasn't changed.

  2. I think you're confusing conceding putts with taking gimmes. In any form of match play. you can concede any putt of any length to your opponent.. The length of the putt is only a factor when you are taking gimmes for yourself.

  Did you play practice rounds recently? They aren't published in your score history, and they don't count towards the average.

  The four latest ranked scores which you posted ! in August ! are from the Par5 course - these and Par3 scores do not count either.

  For the next promotion, you need a 63 average. Only scores of 33 / 65 and below will contribute to this goal. Play the other rounds happily, for practice.

   

  Concession is an integral part of matchplay. If you don't want to concede long putts, just do nothing. It's a right, not an obligation.

  Match Play is not a ranked round type of play.

  Wins in Match Play against higher tier opponents can affect your stroke average. WGT does not say how that stroke average adjustment is calculated, where as your ranked round scores affect your scoring average in a normal mathematical fashion that is related to if your scoring average is 'saturated' for the tier you are at.
