Virtual Tour Leadboard - Top 70 Question

  I dont understand the top 70 points. I was leading the pro tour with 4600 points from winning the als merion when I was a pro tier player. I saw my name on top for a good while.

   

  I just checked today and my name has dissapeared from the list and the leader has points in the 2000 range, to where I had 4600.  Is this because I have moved up tiers since then? And if so that really is a sucky thing to do, punish me for getting better. lol.

   

  Obviously its not a huge deal I mean I was looking forward to being in the championship round and would love a shot at winning some credits, but was just wondering if someone could confirm that I am out of the running all the sudden.

  Didn't your points carry over to your new tier ?  ( haven't checked )

  If not, a kick in the nuts for all who tried all year.

  Not another debacle surely ?

  Saw this and had a look through, I am in the legend listings 'though now a TL.

  What has happened to you is probably a bit complicated due to your rapid rise.  As far as I can see you joined less than 3 months ago and are now a legend.

  If we are counted in the tiers we are in when the tour started, had you even joined?  Maybe you count as a hack and therefor don't qualify.

  Im not sure Dodgy. Tell the truth I didnt even know much of what I was doing at first. I been playing 4-8 hours a day steady for about 3 months now though. lol.  So I would guess I was Pro in my first virtual tour match. Is there anyone at WGT I could ask about this? I would like to be in the qualifying round and I think I deserve to be. I shouldnt be disqualified for plaing a ton they shouldgive me a bonus! Ill check all the tiers and see if I can find my name anywhere, good idea

  Your rank in tier will be based on the last tournament you played in and what tier you were then.  So if you finished the October Tournament in the Master Tier, then that's where you will be listed.  This month if you play in the Legend tier, you will be moved up in the VT.

  What will happen to the leader of the Legend tier shoe, my CC member who not played for a bit, but a TL now and won't play this month.

  Plays in the legend tier 70 or gets moved up to play in TL tier top 70 ?

  And then alot of TMs who r now legends will they move over if not play this months comp ?

  If they do then they will....

  oust many striving in the legend tier ( that have been there all year )  for the last 15 places 55 - 70 that WGT r advertising they try to not be 71st.

  Can u imagine how they will feel making it to #68 then 20 TM get moved over ?  

  or even worse, being in 51st place, feeling safe and 20 TMs get bumped so you end up in 71st place !!    lmao

  Hope you've thought this one through ?

  Let sleeping dogs lie is the better of two evils I think ?

  for real andy. dang. theysure have been advertising that alot too about the top 70. Well I guess I gotta figure out what I got to do to make legend top 70 now. A almost impossible task since I got legend at level 72, had no clue what I was doing and cant buy any big clubs to compete. but thats another story. lol

  WGTdbloshoe:

  this is not true

  at present players are only "promoted" within the virtual tour leaderboards when credits have been earned at the higher level .... that is ... they finish in the top 70

  eg

  the current legend tier standings

  add in the number of inactive players ( for whatever reason )  ..... if the final event was to take place now then there would only be 47 of 70 possibly playing the legend tier .......

  still ....... it would save a fair bit of pay out  for wgt  :)

  Jonn50005000:

  I gotta figure out what I got to do to make legend top 70 now.

  From what's being said I'm not sure you do.  You look quite secure in the top 70 as a TM, so if you don't finish in the top 70 this month it looks like you qualify at that level.  

  This is based mainly on what oilyrag has pointed out, and the fact I am in the legend listings and have played in it, though not been in the top 70, as a TL.  It's even possible that you already have enough points to qualify at Legend especially if some of those above you are promoted to TL.
