  Why is it so unreasonable just to have 5 uneven lies at most.

  Please read the 3rd post of this thread, there you will see there are 4 uel rg's this time.  Nice to see you ask for more, perhaps it's that now you realise the reduction saw no increase elsewhere.

  Don't lose your time with him. We have allready explained many times that there's only 6 UEL RG's in a rotation (only 4 this time, i'm still waiting for an explanation) but he's definitely too stupid to understand. Forget him.

  Are you guys weird or what???  Take a frikking look at the ready go list. I just have.  Since i looked 2 seconds ago there is EIGHT uneven lies ready go.

  There are NINE even lies ready go's in the list (maybe one has been taken away as its been filled???) but any way, FOUR of those NINE are 50c while THREE are $1.  This gives  a choice of ONE $3 and ONE $5.  So areyou COMPREHENDING what i'm trying to point out???  There is not enough choice and too many 50c.  What is so dificult in changing 2 of the 4 x 50c to 2 x $2 18 hole ready go's??  this would give a more even price range.  2 x 50c, 2 x $1 and 2 x $2 and you could add the other spare ready go to whatever price range is most popular whether it be 50c, $1, $2 or $3.  SIMPLE.  Every one is happy instead of flooding market with 50c.

  You've been told for two threads how you're miscounting so any insult intended I'll leave and move on to the random cap paragraph.

  Think I'm there so far you're saying how many even lie rg's of each entry fee.

  chrisironsbones:

  There is not enough choice and too many 50c.

  I'd have to disagree here.  Over three days the 50c rg's fill about eighteen times, that's six times a day, and as it's very unusual to be able to enter one more than once a day, about 300 different people entering each one daily.  Incidentally another myth I've seen is that 50c 18 hole ready go's aren't worth having, they seem to fill similarly to 9 hole ones.

  The 100c ones varied; KI filling twelve times, Pinehurst five and Oakmont six. I'd suggest this is simply down to the courses with KI more popular than the other two.  If we take a rough average as eight then we get about 133 people entering each100c rg daily.

  The 300c filled nine times and the 500c twice.  Again I think the former filled so often as it's probably at the most popular rg course (St Andrews) and the later may be a little down on it's usual because it's at Chambers.   This suggests 150 entering the 300c rg daily (but only ay St Andrews I suspect) and lets say 50 play the 500c one.

  chrisironsbones:

  What is so dificult in changing 2 of the 4 x 50c to 2 x $2 18 hole ready go's??

  So you're suggesting taking away two of the most popular ones, makes sense?

  chrisironsbones:

   What is so dificult in changing 2 of the 4 x 50c to 2 x $2 18 hole ready go's??  this would give a more even price range.  2 x 50c, 2 x $1 and 2 x $2 and you could add the other spare ready go to whatever price range is most popular whether it be 50c, $1, $2 or $3.

  You've removed a 100c one as well now, though in effect put a 50c one back, Lol.

  Talking down what you don't like wont help you get rg's where you can make credits. Why not ask for what you want but leave what other people enjoy alone.  I would like there to be more open rg's, of all sorts and entry fees.

  Sorry if the list doesn't work, or for any mistakes I only went through them once.

  Filled ready go’s for the last 3 days (list started 18.45 UK time).

   

  Cost	Course	Holes	Times Filled
  50c	Merion	F9	18
  50c	Cong’	B9	17
  50c	Bethpage	18	18
  50c	PB	18	17
  100c	KI	F9	12
  100c	Pinehurst	F9	5
  100c	Oakmont	18	6
  300c	St Andrews	18	9
  500c	Chambers	500	2

  you've answreed what i've been trying to point out post after post.  The even lies TURN OVER LOADS of times in a few days, in that time the UL dont turn over at all, maybe even in a week.  SO why are they there taking up space when we could have an extra couple of $2 which i will bet are just as popular as $1.  You lot say theres only 4 UL ready go's, but the list still has 8 or 9.  

  the UL dont need as much ready go's as they are UNPOPULAR, how do we know this
  ??  It takes a week for one to turn over!!!!  Limit them to maybe 4 max so there is only 4 in the list (it might show 8+ as they're so unpopular last months have carried through to this months and will keep empty all month AGAIN!) 

  ***** Also you cant really base your table (although it is not to bad) on price range alone as course and conditions also dicate how many would enter.  Do you think a St Andrews with high winds would be as popular as St Andyy's in low winds??

  Your table clearly shows that EL turn over quickly so why are we forced to put up with UL that only a minority play and take most of the week or MONTH to fill up??  Its like cutting off your nose to spite your face

  DodgyPutter:

   I would like there to be more open rg's, of all sorts and entry fees.

  That is exactly what i want but get slated by the handfull of players that enter the UL becasue i would prefer to limit the UL to 3 or 4 and have 10+ open ready go's.

  3 x 50c, 3 x $1,  2 x $2 1 x $3 and 1x $5  and a high roller $10 could be any lie maybe EL one fortnight and UL in 2 weeks time so it mixes and matches

  Players enter ready go's and expect a fast turn around.  They dont want to enter tournaments, post a decent score then have to wait a WEEK for a result.

  Personally i'm just frustrated with the ready go list at moment.  I log on wanting to play then i see list at precise moment, i have Merion back 9 for 50c, Bethpage 18 holes for 50c, Congressional back 9 for 50c, or Kiawah for a $1 and oakmont 18 for a $1 which werent those last 2 same as last month??  As i dont enter the 50c myself, after playing maybe 2 or 3 ready go's there is no more to enter, but i would love an extra couple of $2 ready go's.   It would keep me playing rather than ranting here in forums about lack of $2 ready go's

  I would even probably play the UL if they turned over quicker, is having a 25 player entrance instead of 50 too much hardwork to achieve?? (they might turn over quicker)

  You've been told over and over again, that the number of UEL RGs has ZERO influence on the number of EL RGs availability. You choose to ignore that, no problem. But I'll try again. If WGT wanted, they could have 20+ even RG along with the 6 UEL Rgs that come with every new batch instead of 10 and 6, we currently have. And yes, there are 9 to 10 available, when the new batch comes out, but that's only until the old ones close.

  Sooooo, WGT is the one, who decided, they'll only have 10 tierless even lies RGs (along with a gozzillion of tiered ones). I'm sure that, if they took out the whole 6 UEL ones, you'd still get 10 even RGs ONLY.

  Do you understand now?

  Oh dear you accidentally missed the important bit, what I said was.

  My table clearly shows that 50c el rg's fill by far the quickest, 9 or 18 hole, but you want to cut the number of them.  

  I looked at the last three days (not a week or month or MONTH) again now and the CB el 500c and the CB uel 50c have both filled twice, does that mean the high stakes rg should be at risk too?

  RG's that would be really popular (not on the forum but with many of those that fill the 50c ones so quickly) would be 25c el one's.  Those looking to make credits wouldn't enter meaning players less good could, with little financial risk and the certainty of finishing higher up the leader-board that they do now ;-)

  hmm I guess u would rather whinge and bleat rather than put in some effort and create your own rg list with wgt.

  oh well some people cannot be helped due to obstinance.
