    I am not a lover of Tour Legend ready goes either Alan because like you said they take way too long to fill.I am guessing the reason for this is because a certain % of TL dominate them thus reducing the entrances! 2 alternatives will help!  1 ,,Reduce entrants from 40 to 28 ,,,Or 2,,Mix and match the Tees.Give your average TL a chance in a 300 credit ready go by teeing off on red tees or Blue with different green speeds.At least if you lose you have had some fun bashing a low score off red tees.Gotta make it fun for your mass TL and not a monopoly for top players.

    Another alternative is simply put a time frame on each ready go regardless of the amount of entries! So after 3 days that ready go kicks off,can even leave the number of entrants limitless.

    I like all of these Ideas.  

    I complained about the time the TL R/Go's were taking ages ago.  One thing I noticed was the comp will take months to fill up, then all of a sudden fill up and complete. I think everybody was waiting so they didn't have credits waiting in limbo.

    Reducing the entries by half and/or make a set time to enter will make the comps go through faster.  On the downside of that, the payouts will be less....  but at least they will complete

    I agree about the fact that RG's for Tour Legend exclusively are useless. Why playing a tournament where you know that you won't earn credits without succeeding a great round?

    In TL tournaments you are sure to play only against great players and even a good round is not enough to reach the top 10. So these tournaments are not easy to fill in and my advise is to replace them by all tier RG's.

    solution is very simple,

    tourlegends grind regular tournaments, event those for 50cr.

     

    U just have to put that they can enter regular RG tournaments in that week if they finish at least 2 tour legend specific RG tournaments.

    Uneven lies are great u could make them more popular by entering at least one in monthly championship.

    with regards

    I would really like to thank all who have had some input into this thread including the latest responses from Priestess, Mantis, Joe and Niqueclyde.

    Every response lends some food for thought and keeps the thread going until it meets it's inevitable doom when relegated to page 2 or further afield.

    I have been scouring the previous threads over the past months and further and soon will send what I've gleaned off to Icon, who has said he will pass it on to the relevant person/s and maybe,( just a maybe is better than nothing ) we might hope that an easier more user friendly situation occurs that gives consideration to ALL the folks who enjoy a RG or 3.

    There has been some very positive points made, lets hope that they don't fall on deaf ears.

    Regards Alan

    When I woke up this morning ( that would be a good lyric for a song ) I saw 42 current Ready Go's available in the T/L Section.

    Thank you for the additions to whoever is responsible and thank you Icon for getting back to me via our messages section as to the situation.

    This is now a work in progress and I will continue to send info to Icon personally and not take up space in the Forums, as stated earlier, there are  more important issues to be taken care of in the overall "game experience" for everyones enjoyment.

    Hopefully now as some of the older T/L specific games close they will not be restarted and a fair amount of T/L, U/L, High, Medium and Low stakes games added and replaced at regular intervals. 

    Fingers crossed and it will not happen overnight, but a start has been made and more importantly, will be monitored.........I will continue to try to get a good cross section for ALL with the much needed help of those who have the power to make a difference.

    Cheers from Alan

    WOW. Wubi.

    That is a huge amount of work there mate.

    I have just passed on a similar list re the most popular and least popular R G 's to Icon via his messages, plus some other information.

    I will let him know about this as well Allan.

    Thanks for the time and effort much appreciated.

    Regards Al.

    Gambling is wrong and for all those that complain about the RG's (etc.), then stop playing them.  You have no intestinal fortitude to compete when crying so much.
