Question on Tiers and Levels

  How can there be a player who has reached Level 96 that is only ranked as a Master, yet he has a 59 scoring avg?  Can someone please explain this to me?  It is just almost inconceivable.

  I guess they just avoid ranked rounds.

  Interesting for sure!....However, here's a better one for the crowd......How does a tour master remain as such with OVER 1000 match play wins against legends with WGT's sandbagging protocol of tier promotions in effect?.....OH, and over 20 wins against tour legends!....I would love to know the answer to that one :)

  Peace & a prosperous 2015 to all,

  Its probably safe to say this is a restarter who knows how to avoid playing ranked rounds.....

  I am at Master level, I have a 63.88 avg, and level 90. I do not quit any rounds, and I play at least one tournament round daily. What else do I need to do to level up?

   

  PS- I also have WGT Nations status......

    I know of a few players that changed their accounts due to them playing on FB.

    FB does not allow, friend invites and creating tourneys.

    They received the new accounts with some (choosing) to start from scratch

    Others got re-instated at their current tier, which gave them what they had with the exception of losing all of their stats and restricted to cc play for a month

     It was a choice that was made and certainly not without the risk of ridicule

     Certain things happen on this site that does warrant a question or two, but it would a fair statement to say, get both sides of a situation first

     Have a good one !!!

  You need a 63.00 avg to advance to TM. Since only the best 40 rounds are counting (except for Par3 and Par5 courses), it's probably only the scores below 66 counting for you now => 31 (62) and lower, 63, 32 (64), 65(?). Unfortunately, you've not played many of these scores in the last two months.

  My hints: Concentration, Course Management.

  +1!

  To help bring down your avg below 63 and beyond try replacing your hybrid with another wedge to improve your accuracy for shots to the flag (use the punch shot with your fairway wood from the rough instead of hybrid) .  The  high level Cleveland wedges impart a lot of backspin and can be difficult to control... try shots with no spin at first (they will still spin balls backward) or even some forward spin to get used to them and then experiment with spin for various courses/holes.  Best of luck and enjoy!  -Keith
