What Determines Tiers?

  Been playing about a month+ and I’ve gotten to Tour Pro at Level 46... what determines yor tier? Because I see people level 90+ with still being a Tour Pro and not Master, Champion or Legend. I typically dont practice, I just play the coin games on Sponsorship to increase my apparel skill bonuses... Also, I don’t to move to Master too early because I still need better equipment to conpete from the longer tees in coin games. What causes you to move up tiers? And not that I want to, but are you able to downgrade tiers?

  Your average and number of ranked rounds determine when you move up to the next higher tier. Those who are at a high Level and are at a lower tier probably have a high golf average but have played quite a bit which caused their level to be where it is. As far as I know you cannot go from say Tour Master back down to Master.  If you'll look to the right of this sceen you'll se a thread "Changing Tiers",I'm sure that it will give you alittle more detailed info than me,,Have a good one   ACA

  Your average and the amount of ranked rounds, saturation etc etc determines tier. 

  Levels don't have much to do with it. In fact, you can purchase level up boosts to Level 74 without playing.  You can log in and play 1 hole and get daily exp etc. and level up without hardly playing at all.

  Doesn't he deserve answers despite an apparent schizophrenic episode?

  My tier is determined by my average - yours is not, from your description:

  Nothing - I've reached my peak.

  No I'm not.

  I don’t know how to sync it from the app to the forum login... but I’m Ucdan5 on the actual game if that helps.

  Could be an easy mistake to make I suppose..not knowing each 'platform' are one n the same
  
  Just contact Customer Services to shut one down, to save you any grief in a couple of years if you start 'earning'
  
  Have a great journey on WGT !!

  All might be forgiven if,as I surmise, you have a connection with the Bearcats of the University of  Cincinnati. That being said, there probably is an issue with a  mobile account that is separate from a PC / Facebook account.

  The basic answer to your question is that you need to play 9 or 18 hole ranked rounds. Playing coin games on mobile will not fill this need. Head to head games outside of the coin rooms can be set up as ranked rounds, but for the most part, solo play for 9 or 18 holes will work best.

  As suggested, getting one of your identities shut down would be a good step forward. I started play on a PC and then picked up the mobile app. When I logged on to the mobile app I used that same PC identity with no problem  Not knowing your WGT history I would tend to guess you started with a Facebook WGT account. Whatever your situation, good  luck, and go Bearcats.
