Ok, the 40% and 79% are both from WGT. No the are going to disclose their information on these two numbers. Yes we are left to speculate where and how they came up with these numbers. We do not know if that 79% is right or not. All we have is what WGT has sent to him.
Dear
Tom,
So
we have discussed with Shoe and Icon after they watched your stream
and your account is going to remain closed.
In
the previous 30 days to us closing your account your Ding rate was at
79%. This is way way way above the average of other top players. They
come in around 40%. It is pretty clear that you are using an Auto
Dinger. We tried to give you the chance to tell us the program you
were using so we could investigate that specific Auto Dinger, but you
insisted you did not know what we were talking about.
During
your stream you dinged at a rate of 40% and we were generous giving
you dings when the screen froze. Due to this and yourm unwillingness
to be honest with us about the exact Auto Dinger you were using, the
decision to keep your acount closed is finale.

They came up with those numbers. Since we know it was 9 holes and he scored -8, we can assume we can come up with the same formula they have. But it clearly states " in the last 30 days" . Now is it me or is that a tad unfair to assume he would score the 79% in a single game? They contradict themselves severely in a single e-mail.
We just that information, we have scrambled to emulate his percentages ourselves. But how are we to do that if it was over a 30 day period? I say we can not do that unless we ourselves play for 30 days and then get the percentages. And after said 30 days, who would really care anymore? I can sense it is now waning as to the real topic of this thread is being lost to other conversations. Some have stayed on topic but not all.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, this is America still. Opinions are like belly buttons, everyone has one. But the main reason behind this whole thread is that some feel an innocent man was wrongly accused . Tom would brag, or taunt or whatever you want to call it, about his games. Now why would someone boast so loudly and draw attention themselves if they were just going to be put under a microscope?
That, in it's self , would be like a bank robber calling attention to themselves if the wrong person was placed under arrest. When he played a good round, he posted it in the CC,score card and all. He posted screen shots of skin games etc etc. If you are doing anything dishonest , would any one of you bring attention to yourselves? I think not. SO not everyone is perfect, not everyone can do something as good as another. But then again that person may not have your skill set in another area.
Then there is the discussion of WGT's programming of this game. And I will have to say, unless you are part of that programming , how do you really know what is involved? There are programs designed to detect hacks for flash based games. If WGT is smart, they had it up and running from the start. There are so many cheating programs available on the net, it just amazes me people would want to cheat such a simple game really.
But the main point I am trying to make, and sorry if I rambled some what, is that WGT is in the wrong here and will not admit it. One reason could simply be that someone close to the game had a beef with him. Made a simple request over a lost game or credits and it was granted. Now getting that turned around would be impossible. From what I have heard, read etc, that seems to be a viable answer really. But take in to accout, I am NOT saying that is what happened.
Ok there is my post, so go ahead and tear my theories apart people. I am here 24/7, disabled. Let it begin.
