Kaslo: And lastly congrats to WGT for completely doing opposite and making it take longer to advance in tiers and giving the TM who have no business being TM's
I have to disagree somewhat with this. The new average calculation makes it harder to sandbag ones average. If someone scores good, their average goes down. If they try to sandbag, their only going to waste their time. The sand-bagger has to know this. They either shoot bad and complain about their average staying the same, or they can play the game, and advance tiers.
My average has gone down 3 points since I got used to the new tournament green speed. I'll be a Legend real soon. I'm working hard to get there like I did going for the Master tier, and will have a feeling of accomplishment when I do.
I feel it's not impossible to score well in the Legend tier, like a lot of members have proven. Every tier I advanced to from the beginning was a challenge and I over came the challenge. I don't see why the Legend tier should be any different, IMO.
