    There are a lot of negatives with the current format of clashes.  These are suggestions that will, hopefully, improve the experience.

    How to improve the clash experience.

    As it is now, only those clubs with 200+ players have an opportunity to win the overall prize.

    Even the playing field by sorting the clubs into flights based on number of members.

    0-50 flight 1

    51-100 flight 2

    101-150 flight 3

    151-200 flight 4

    201-250 flight 5

    The winning club of each flight will then have a playoff with 5(any number less than 10) members from each club competing against each other in a bracket format, mini clashes or another format to be determined by WGT.  Not requiring passes for this competition.

    The club that wins that playoff is overall winner.  Each flight winner wins one of the tee markers, passes, etc.

    Another suggestion from a member of my CC is that the players  tiers be awarded points for pars, birdies, eagles on a scale that gives more points to a master for a score than a champion for the same score.

    Example:  Master scores a birdie and gets 10 pts, while the champion gets 6.

    Next take the top 20 scorers in each CC and rank them for the total clash points to rank the winner.  That would even the playing field and reduce the advantage of having 250 player clubs competing against 50 member clubs.

    Thanks for the real positive feedback.

    Seems more of these threads than usual starting all over the show.

    There have been many good ideas, but looking quick I don't see the above as ones I agree with.

    1. Matching Club size

    Still be about who buys passes so still nonsense.

    My guess is WGT would have instigate did they could, but assume tech hitches stop it.

    2. Masters easier...

    Shorter tees and clubs bring out multis or turn blind eyes as long as they play.....Not all but it happens.  Remember the key is buying passes, and skill is not meant to count beyond a passing whatever they think they can dress the pig up like.......

    If I missed any apologies, but they were the ones that stood out to me.

    I don't think they'll change anything about them until enough people stop playing them.

    Excuse me, that's daydreaming!

    The Clashes are the cream on the CC point&level system, designed to take customers' money for nothing. In no way it may become limited = cheaper!

    Sounds nice, but it would only be cosmetics for a competition which is of no value, looking at the "prizes".

    As i have posted before...the only way to make this thing fair.....is for each club to submit its best 15-20 best scores.....that is the best way!
