Thanks for all your feedback about the Ready-Go tournaments.

Based on your suggestions, we’re switching back to the original payout schedule, with just a small change of 50 credits more for first place and 50 credits less for third place. The rest of the payouts are the same as the original payouts from last year, and the top 30 finishers still get paid as before. See the full payout schedule here, http://wgt.com/help.aspx#readygo. Note that a few of the “old” Ready-Go’s are still open, but all the new Ready-Go’s will use the new payout schedule going forward.

We’re continuing to monitor the new tier-based Ready-Go’s which are limited to Pro, Tour Pro, Master, Tour Master and Legend players. The new tier-based formats are definitely more fair since players compete against other players with similar skills, but by creating front 9, back 9 and 18-hole tournament options, all the Ready-Go’s are taking longer to finish, from about 1 day to about 2 days. We’re hoping that as more players discover the new tiered Ready-Go’s that they’ll start to close faster. If not, we’ll need to reduce some of the tiered Ready-Go options in the coming weeks.

As always, please let us know what you think. Thanks!

WGT

Thanks WGT... the old payout system was more fair to everybody I think , with the new payout system, if you finish in the first 2 places it was great, but with more golfers shooting in the high 20's now and you shoot 31 (which is a good score for some of us) and get, say 50cr back it's not really worth it.

The Tier based Tournys are a really good idea... except when ya playing against sharks, but thats' another story...lol. I think keep them, but shorten the time limit to post a score. As you know, I played a TM Beth R/G F9 last Wed. ...The results for that comp came out on Fri at 9pm ( ADST ), I think it was waiting for a alot of people to post their scores.. maybe just shorten the time limit.

Cheers

Well actually... The people have paid the entry fee already so if you cut down on the time limit to post ya score it doesn't matter with the payouts, 2plus days is way too long, or as soon as a Tourny closes start a new one.

Keep up the great job WGT, it is the Best Golf game out!
