    Seeing as the brackets are always full up with the players that are on here 24/7 and have like $3000+ in earnings it dont really give normal players a chance to win anything. Once you get to legend it seems pointless entering anything you have to pay to enter as your just throwing your money away. 

    yes they have earned the right to win and have played for years probably but when they play every event they can knowing that they will win 90% of the time its almost impossible for others to win. The fact the top players make 1000's a month is ridiculous. Seeing them play in 50 credit tourneys is abit ridiculous. not like they dont have enough credits......

     

    my idea is pretty simple. Have some more brackets/ready go's and tournaments that instead of tier specific they are based on how much you have earned in the past. So for example a bracket where you can only enter if you have earned less than $100 credits. then the next one could be between 100-500 then 500-2000 etc etc. this would mean more people would have a fairer chance of winning credits.

    I know full well if i enter a legend bracket at the moment I'm never going to win, yes i have only been a legend a few months but i dont see myself being able to win one of these when people are shooting 56's 57's every round. If we had a few of these tourneys then you would be up against similar players, yes you will still get the odd few people who are very good but they won't be able to stay playing them for ever so would give regular players more of a chance. 

    We dont all have time to sit there with our note pads out working out the shot distance on a calculator and dividing it by 25.7 because of a 14 mph headwind..... i agree some work needs to be put in but its almost impossible to win some credits when your at a medioka stage.

    I can tell you 1st hand you don't need to score 55's to do well / earn credits in the Legend Brackets.  In a recent 500 cr bracket, placed 2nd and didn't break 60.  Now with that said, won a recent 100 cr Legend bracket with a couple of 59's and a 57 but that 57 was from the red tees as I recall so it doesn't really count as a 57.  Red tees in a Legend bracket, go figure.

    Disagree with the sentiment that players who have put in the time and have become very good shouldn't be entering low credit events.  They have as much right as anyone else to enter whatever they're allowed to play.  You don't have to enter the tierless brackets.

    Now this brackets based on $$ earned might be something.  I've always thought that $$$ earned should be a criteria for tier advancement before # of ranked rounds or saturated average.  It therefore stands to reason that perhaps this $$ earned brackets idea has some merit.

    Hi, does anyone know why the legend brackets are no longer active?

    I see them just fine.  Odd you'd be looking for Legend brackets as a Hack..

    To the op; the problem would be all the multis would be still able to enter the brackets where the earnings were under whatever, for a while at least then maybe start again.

    Possibly because that account is a level 1 hack that has never played?

    Thought I recalled reading that brackets do not count towards career earnings, if so...then the OP's idea is flawed.

    Think so, too...

    and elvie clearly pre-qualifies as a multi, because in the list, only those Brackets are visible to which a player is eligible. Only Legends see Legend Brackets!

    I'm not absolutely certain but I think this changed a while ago and they do now count toward career earnings.
