TopShelf2010:Back on topic... It is amazing how when a post strikes close to home, how quickly those come to deflect.
I don't know if there's history between them but the original idea was After this fiasco of E-TOUR's first round with tens of withdraws, i would suggest to WGT to take some provisional measures for the next round...and i mean punishing the player who withdraws.
and I think the first bit of the reply was entirely on topic Everyone that qualifyed and earn there spot is not allowed to do what they want with it?
emmm, no deflection here but I reckoned the op read like a poorly thought through rant. This was a competition with an unlimited play qualifying round, 128 then went through to the brackets. Anyone that got that far had already spent time and ball usage (especially as they were using unfamiliar equipment), surely it's up to them to decided how much more to use when they think their chance has gone.
Most of all, there was only a prize to the bracket winners so how are wgt to penalise those who are getting nothing? Keep half of it? ;-) Take credits out their accounts? Ban them from the next one? Jeez, it's just silly.
At least in the other thread you had a concrete proposal, and giving credits to the qualifiers I like but, as I can't see wgt going from no prize to giving one again, I wont get too far into the mertits and otherwise of what you said there. The point is there were nothing here to take away.
As to the "tens of withdrawals" that's true but I think rather dramatically phrased, apparently there were twentythree, how would an average of less than three a bracket sound?
I wish Andy would come back, I couldn't manage his "storm in a teacup" picture :-((
