  I don't think i am that good and my average seems a bit high.  Am I missing something in the system?

   

  Thanks in advance.

  Sorry, this is <beep>!

  Ranked rounds count towards advancement, regular Blitz doesn't.

  I can't explain it - there's some invisibles in action.

  Neither your average (apparently correct) nor your Pro rounds count match the necessary numbers, 72.0 and 20.

  You have no matchplay wins, and your earnings are low. Did you win other challenge ("money") games?

  I beg to differ.I have seen one player that has advanced to Tour master.And he never played anything othere then blitz game's.

  navi.Thats  why you need to play less blitz game's it will slow down your advancement some

  I think you may find that player played Challenge Blitz - and would therefore logically count towards an average via the anti-sandbagging measures. and rightly so IMHO.

  For players who avoid tiering up, I personally do not understand your mentality. For me this was a goal, without pushing yourself to do better probably sums up the person - no drive and a deadbeat....but again that is just my viewpoint, everyone to themselves.

  I couldn't agree more with alanti, I know of some legends who have only played blitz or best of par 5's or 3's or A/S games just to preserve their average ! I cannot understand the thinking behind that one, I personally have no time for that sort of stuff. When you tier up just let your average go where it will and learn to play at the new conditions.  That is a real player not those phonies who protect their average
