I have to laugh just a tad. So bear with me.
WGT makes income off of the free tourneys, lots of it.
Let me explain.
For example, this weeks 9 hole tourney Legend Tier pays a total of 1,500 credits to the top 70 Legends. If only 56 legends played that tourney using the same 400 cr a sleeve ball WGT makes 12 cr on ball wear. The thing is however that maybe what - 2,000 legends will play the tourney? Some more than once. But with 2,000 rounds played that translates to 54,000 cr in ball use or a profit of 52,500 cr for WGT.
Not a lot of profit but not a bad return for "risking" that at least 56 people will enter the tourney.
The question WGT has to figure out is are the returns greater by giving out 2 passes a day then by the silly system they have now. My thoughts are that WGT would come out ahead.
