  any reason no change in months? Kind of tough to advance if it won't change.

  simple reason

  since november the 27th last year you have not shot a single score below your average apart from a 27 on a par 3 course.

  your average wont drop if you keep shooting above it

   

  p.s the par 3 courses dont count towards your average

  I was going to ask the OP which particular round they figured should have had an impact on the average?

  Shoot a sub-par score -- see what happens then!

  As a TP your average is based only on the best 30 scores you have posted since becoming a TP.  High scores will simply make no difference to your average, as they will not be included in the best 30.

  1ST you only have a total of 157 ranked round which is very low. your scores are well above your average. 9 hole games are doubled as if 18 where played example is shoot a 27 and reflect on score as a 54 for average. that's why you will see very low averages they only play easy courses for their averages like st andy and BPB. Once you play hundreds of ranked round in your tier level your score are saturated, which means your average will only go down. myself as example my average is 55.18 my 18 rounds in past month have been all above my average with no effect my 9 hole rounds which i shot 28 and lower makes my average go down. my average will never go up unless they add another tier which i advance again.  i was a TL for years until they add the last two tiers and the only way to become a tour champion is by invite only which you see they only invited their own and is the only one as a tour champion and couldn't light a candle to any of the big money boys or to myself as that matter goes.

  Only in the first time in any tier.

  It's not a plain average but the average of a limited number of your best scores, 25 as a TP. We call it "saturation".

  You're well past this number, so your pool of 25 will only change when a better score replaces a higher score: No more rising average! OTOH, also a score higher than the average may decrease it if only another even higher score is in the mix.

  Sidenotes: threshold to Master is 67, then the numbers will be reset. Shot numbers count, 9 hole scores are doubled, Par3 or Par5 courses aren't counted in.

  Is it 25?  I thought it was 30 - but it has been a long time.   I had in mind that saturation numbers up the tiers progressed  5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 500    but I feel I must be wrong if I'm quoting a different number to alosso

  Your line of numbers looks more logical, but who can rely on this?

  There are notions of 25 and 30 here but the calcs for my own progression went with 25, as well as the early tier lists. I'm certainly not the law here but I believe in 25 ;)

  You are ;-) Logic never had anything to do with this. Or you wouldn't need 500 rounds to reach TL and only 200 to reach CH.
