hakman123: Maybe they simply want to know the score needed to win - how safe vs aggressive they need to play.
I don't play RGs but I thought that you cannot see RG leaderboards until the tournament has completed. Has this been changed?
I'm no expert on RGs -- but my understanding is that scores are not shown while the tournament is filling up -- as WGT do not want you to know what scores have already been posted (you won't enter if there is a super low score).
The RG round you completed is not even shown in your score history right after you complete your round - to prevent others looking up your scores and finding it.
Once the RG is full - then your completed score is posted, and the leaderboard is available to anyone who has posted a score.
I assume that people who wait the 12 hrs have access to the scores from another player who has completed their round.
