  Why can’t I seem to get into a ranked rounds? I play the unlimited tournament to gain experience to try to level up. It says only 20 ranked rounds. What is considered a ranked round?

  Ranked rounds do not include Par 5 courses, Par 3 courses, or custom courses.  Others played in ranked stroke mode count.

  A ranked round is a stroke play round that shows up in your score history. That means you finished the round and posted a score. Practice rounds are not ranked, don't show up in your history and don't count for average. You do get XPs for them.

  Count your scores in your history  and you see your 21 ranked rounds, all that you've played so far. That's also where your average comes from except where DL pointed out above.

  Nitpicking:

  These ARE ranked rounds, shown in the history and counting in the stats. Nevertheless, they don't count towards the average and tiering up.

  Yes, 20 ranked rounds as pro and an average 72 or lower to level up to tour pro.

  Actually your average is too high.

  Larry I could be wrong BUT....WGT "Best of' Famous.Hardest and par 4's DO count as a ranked round as each one of those will in fact cause your average to flux....I think only the best of 5's and 3's Don't count as a ranked round??

  That is what Larry wrote.

  But, as I wrote: They count as ranked rounds and in the general stats, but, together with CC Custom Courses, they don't count towards the average.

  Keep in mind that having 2 or more accounts is against the rules, I wouldn't use  the other one "if" I had one, especially if it was obvious....

  a lot of ppl. started off with an account and forgot the password, or something like that...BUT they didn't play ranked rounds on them ....

  LOL - as alosso and you noted, I was wrong - thinking of average and not "ranked".

  Especially when one is gifting some items that the other one happens to be using. ;-)
