wind in bracket tournaments

  Been away from the game away for awhile, came back and saw the new (to me anyway) bracket tournaments and thought I would give them a try. Signed up for a low wind tournament, moved on to the second round only to be confronted with high winds. I don't like playing in high winds (I can screw up my shots just fine on my own, I don't need the added wtf from high wind), so would it be possible in the brackets to show not just the course but also the wind conditions?  Or, if the signup page for a bracket tournament says low wind, then keep those conditions throughout the tournament?

  The wind in bracket tourneys are now random. Been that way for a while. I personally think it sucks. if you sign up for a particular condition, that is what you should get for all rounds.

  Don't play brackets but going by what others have said before you always had different conditions in all rounds. Now the difference is you can't see what the conditions are until you start rd 2,3,4.

  And for rounds 2,3 & 4 you do not know the green speed until after you are on the green.

  The conditions (wind & greens) need to be specified prior to going to the 1st tee for any round, not just the 1st round.

  Since the "bright flashes" update fiasco, round 1 conditions are shown throughout all 4 rounds. It sucks.

  Thanks for the replies.  Brackets seemed like a fun addition, but if WGT can't be bothered to keep the conditions the same or at least indicate what the conditions are before the start of play, then I won't be entering any more.
