A couple of observations and suggestions about the, CTTH Sweeps, CTTH Top Score and Stroke Play. I know this is not perfect and has some flaws
but let me hear something better. I always said Career Earnings was the proper
ranking method and I believe I am on the right track here.
CTTH Top Sweeps- This game gives all players the chance to
play nice courses for fun and to get their name on the leader board, at the
same time anyone can win in a Random drawing. Sure it hurts that some of us
paid $10.00 twice for Pine Hurst which was reduced to $5.00 later, and it hurt
more that a player that joined WGT on May 24, 2009 six days before the
tournament started won the trip; however all people that entered had the same
chance. What is so shocking is that only
30-40 people are paying to play, while thousands are playing the free sweeps. What
is wrong with you players, I am ranked 23, 620 for the Pilsner Urquell and 5000
plus for another CTTH sweeps. I know WGT
have the advertisers, but we should Support
the Game. People should pay
$1.00-$2.00 for all the CTTH Sweeps not $5.00 to $10.00. I have stopped paying to enter tournaments
because players will not enter unless it is free. Please lower the price and
you will get as many players as you have in the freebies. The great trips, gift
cards and other awards should be only in CTTH Sweeps/Random winners for an
entry fee. Play the game; try your Luck for a $1.00 or $2.00. Have multiple
winners. All trips should be sweeps
only. This is a computer game for fun
and to play some nice courses.
CTTH Top Score- These tournaments should be free always with
minimum awards $5-$10 gift cards and credits.
The same 5-10 people will always win, but at least 1000,s will have a
shot to pull off an upset. Again this is all in fun. No one will pay when there is no chance.
Stroke Play- The tournaments should be changed dramatically!
Ninety Percent of them should be free
with minimum awards, again $5.00-$10.00 and credits. The
pay to play tournaments should use the handicap system. Take the players tournaments scores and
handicap them. I like to shoot at the
top players but it is hard to win. The
same players will win all the time.
Players will pay if they get a stroke or two. (Example my Tournament average
may be 64 and another player 60, I should get two strokes and decrease the
strokes as my average goes down). I will pay to enter when the results at the
end of the day can go either way. Each player gets the number of strokes
upfront so all the players entering can determine if they want to play. Otherwise the best will beat you every time
and there are only 5 or so that will win it always. Example, look at the player
that shoots a 61 or 59 and never win 1st
place, He should get at least one stroke per round out the door, heck I scored
a 63 and finished 12th. Many
others are good and we do not have a chance, make it fun. The big guns will know from the start what
they must do. Why pay when on the last day you will be knocked down and out.
With a handicap, it is what it is. A
COMPUTER GAME FOR FUN. The big
awards are in the Random Drawing only. Pay to Play Stroke Tourneys can have a big award with handicaps only. Not
to knock you great players but I like the direction WGT is going. This should be about fun and not to win every
time out and take all the great awards.
