I had 12 ranked rounds for the first 5 months as I played many many coin games. Tier promotions seemed to come pretty often all the way up to Legend. Around the beginning of this year, I joined a club that put out tourneys and I found it fun to play ranked rounds. Now I have about 90 ranked rounds and I still play many coins games too, but I'm still an impatient Legend waiting for the "Tour" promotion. lol
Can't help but wonder if my playing more ranked rounds somehow slowed my advancement.
Just today I played a coin match with a Tour Legend. What made him/her stand out... their level was 200! This must be somewhat rare as I've never seen anything close to compare. To reach level 200 takes determination and years and years of devoted playing time. I would think WGT would toss out the Champ title at that point. You can't level up from 200.
I did not search their stats, but they played very well while beating me in a single hole match. lol
