  Hi

  I really don't get it. At the moment there is 13 TL RG's and 7 UE RG's on the RG list.

  Fair enough with the UE RG's but 13 TL RG's. Come on WGT nobody plays them!!

  And where did the 1.000 cr. RG's go?

  I really think it is a strange RG list....

  Agree with you here Peter. No need to have any TL only RG's. Some are still on there from 2 months ago.

  There's now also 13 UEL RG's.

  Hi DAZZA

  I was just go to write about the 13 UEL RG's.    

  Sorry, but I am just not in for that kind of lottery.

  So now the magic number is 26 RG's for me not to enter.   Great!

  Yes once again WGT reverting back to a very underwhelming list, one thing they have done is added lots more uneven and tour legend as stated above and also 50 cr 18 holes rg's lol.

  Please WGT make it a standard part of the list that a 1000 CR Rg is included as well as 3 or 4 500 CR rg's, then you can also add your typical 300,200,100,50. 

   

  Too much of the list is wasted on tour legend rg's. These have been on there so long and if you are at all interested in consistency when you say 1000 cr rg's take too long to fill up even though it typically takes 1-3 days depending on course, TL rg's are taking between 6-8 weeks lol.

   

  Please Add

  1000 Cr St andy's

  1000 Cr Cabo

  500 Cr Best of famous Front

  500 Cr Andy's Back

  500 Cr Bethpage Back

  500 Cr Kia Front

  Sorry, but I am just not in for that kind of lottery.

  There are 7 UEL ready-go's and there is a significant number of people that enjoy this format, do you really think that's too many?

  If they are a "lottery" it seems they are a fixed one as the same people are often to the fore in them.  A bit like the even lies really, where you do well and more skill is presumably(?) required.

  It could be argued that playing the same shots, however well, for years needs less skill (good notes/memory and great timing probably the most necessary requirements) than having some imagination and working out how the slope will affect your shot.   I wonder which is more like real golf?

  13 and 7 = 20 so I'm guessing the low credit ones make up the 26, these are the most popular.

  I do agree that the TL ones don't fill, the reason I don't enter is there is very little or no chance of me making the top 15 in them.  I suspect this is the case for the majority of TL's.  As the number of TL's continues to expand so does the gulf in ability within that tier, until wgt introduce a new tier I think you're right that there is no need for as many (maybe even for any) TL ready-go's.

  I look forward to the next thread you start, or turn, to this.

  I dot keep track of the UEL RGs.  No complaints from people that play the format says plenty of them, and fair enough for those that happen to like that stuff.

  TL RGs what on earth is the point though?  WGT never has said why they even still bother.  I can only think they are there to stop the system being overloaded as they are guaranteed slow sloth speed turnover.

  Nothing is new here, just near same old every month almost.  

  Sorry mate but without time frames same old concerns and same old answer.............

  From ALL the above points, there is a definite and unmistakable point.

  The LESS  T/L specific RG's

  The MORE ROOM  there is to add RG's that keep every one happy.

  U/L's, High, Medium and the Low Stakes games. ALL of which TURNOVER regularly.   ( Some faster than others, but turning over just the same )

  It's not Rocket Science :-0)

  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that NO MORE  T/L specific games are rebooted once completed to leave room for more popular RG's

  Regards from Al.

  I'm about to take up a whole page copying from another thread, but the amount of work it must have taking surely means it deserves at least two airings.

  Not to decry a tremendous effort by wheresubin at all; I think the cost of the RG's would be important too, with the cheaper one's certain to be filling quicker.  

  The difference between those that are/are not UEL doesn't look massive.  There seems to be confirmation of what we all knew; the TL ones don't fill at all well with the quickest (Cabo and St Andrews)  coming in the 3-7 day bracket and the others taking between 8 and 40 days to fill.

  This may be a tad off topic, but it involves ready go tournaments, so i'll post it on this thread anyways. One of the things i wish WGT reverts back to from the past is how they used to disperse the Ready Go payouts. I mean, if you end up in 16th place in a RG tourny, you get the same amount of credits as a player who placed in 30th place. I dont think thats right of fare. This is a new phenomenon that i truly hope WGT considers amalgamating. Cheers mates, happy hitting!!! BOOM!
