  So what's the deal with advancing tiers?

  why am I continuing to play people who hit the ball further than me and are on a higher tier but yet they're scoring average is higher than mine?

  It's "their"...

  Real helpful, alosso. Crappy advice too, nowhere near what he asked.

  My apologies for his nonsense, T.  Moving up tiers is based on your score history, specifically ranked stroke rounds that you finish and post. They're the only thing that affects your average and when your average is low enough and you have enough ranked rounds in, you move up a level and it starts all over. You get a new average.

  Search for "advancing tiers" and you'll get a lot to read on it. GL.

  Also in conjunction with what was said by a baseball fan, do you play a lot of coin games?  When I started playing, I played for coins exclusively.  With no ranked rounds under my belt, I rose all the way to the master rating, but my average stayed at 150. After master you cannot be advanced any higher without ranked rounds played.  You may be playing the same such people, and because they only play for coins, doesn't mean that they can't play a very mean game.

  I've played 148 ranked rounds with a scoring avg of 65.55

  perhaps based on the above, it's just a matter of more ranked rounds

  thanks

  Thank you for your service Chief. GMM2 here from way back when. 

   

  Like others have said, if the people you get matched up with only play coin games their average will not go down till they play ranked games, or WGT Gods think it’s time for them to move up.

  My apologies for his nonsense,

  You're welcome to take the blame, but, please, get your advice straight.

  FTFY:

  To clarify the "new average" remark, the average resets after tiering up. Furthermore, a higher average gives a hint that a player's game is indeed worse - a good chance for an advantage as a lower tier, perhaps from shorter tees.

  FFS, alosso, your posts are so convoluted and nonsensical you'd be better off speaking in your native tongue and letting the readers use a translator to figure it out. You make zero sense. Your use of the English language is abominable.

  So enlighten us all, what else affects that average?

  Zero knowledge speaks of zero sense? ROTFL!

  You make yourself look abysmally ignorant:

  - matchplay wins against higher tiers,

  - credit wins in tournaments.

   

  P.S.

  You have been stalking me twice in a row, and now you're trolling - EOD!
