WGT - Rounds of saturation
For all those wondering how many rounds they HAVE ALREADY PLAYED TOWARD THEIR SATURATION for their tier and don’t (or haven’t) kept up with their play since their last tier move, here is a way to estimate the rounds that are included in your saturation.
Step1. Play a ranked round tourney that will count (not a par 3 or 5, CTTH, putting contests, etc). This will change your average.
Step2. Requires you to get on mobile version of game. To get this average to 5 decimal places you’ll have to play a coin game. Click on a coin game and while it searches for an opponent write down your average to 5 decimal points. (Can quickly exit game without playing if you want) This number will be A1.
Step3. Go play another Club tourney (regular ranked round). Write down what you shot. For a 9 hole game, multiply by 2. This number will be S2.
Step4. This will change your average. Go play another coin game on mobile to get your average to 5 decimal places. While it searches for an opponent write down your average to 5 decimal points. This number will be A2.
Step5. Calculate the number of rounds you have played towards your saturation point X.
X=(A2-S2)/(A1-A2)+1
THIS TELLS YOU HOW MANY ROUNDS YOU HAVE PLAYED IN YOUR CURRENT TIER. SUBTRACT THAT FROM HOW MANY REGULAR ROUNDS IT TAKES TO ADVANCE TO NEXT TIER.
Hope that helps.
Example
I turned Legend with 411 ranked rounds. I have 1077 ranked rounds now. Ranked round include some (custom courses) play the 1st Orange Sky (rr mobile club tourney) and shot 31. Play a coin game and my average to 5 decimal places is 61.57067. This number is A1. I play a 2nd Orange Sky and shot 31 again. Since this is a 9 hole tourney, I multiply by 2 and get 62. This number is S2. I play a coin game again and my new average to 5 decimal places is 61.57181. This number is A2. Now calculate the rounds you have played towards your saturation.
X=(61.57181-62)/(61.57067-61.57181)+1
X=376.6
I need another 124 rounds to saturate for Legend. (500-376) After saturation, your average can only go down. Play out all rounds as any higher rounds will fall off the back end after your average is saturated. Only the your lowest 500 rounds count as legend tier after you exceed saturation level.
