ishotinhole: When will wgt ever get it
What is it you think they missed ?
ishotinhole: My response is most players don't play for the
coins because they are useless except to play diamond league
Mythanatos:
The Leagues are pointless. what you win for placing is nothing compared to what you won in comparison.
I wouldn't know why anyone even looks at them anymore.
I am sure you know many long time players that play Alt Shot almost exclusively . And it is the same reason " WHY " as the coins , or Match Play .
All of those formats are inconsequential toward any gain that WGT has to offer .
So there must be lots of other non monetary and non material benefits . Like enjoying the format . And the players one meets . Long term valuable experience . Social enjoyment . A genuine gigantic temporary relief , to be playing and not thinking about what is going on around you IRL , for a few minutes .
To name just a few .
When you think about it . Coins do have several actual returns . More so than Alt Shot or Match Play .
But no one questions the faithful Alt Shot players .
you're misunderstanding my post. 99% of what i play is coin games. Not for the coins but for the competition.
Im saying the coin leagues are pointless. because just to use DIamond 1 as an example I might need 50 million in wins just to get into 10th place. for 100k coins of winnings. it's stupidly small. Tokyo alone is a 250k bet for one hole.
So to backtrack the leagues are pointless because what you win is a pittance compared to what you've already played for. and that's true for every coin league.
