  If there is an apparel bonus in a country club tourney, does it no longer qualify as a ranked round? Thanks in advance.

  I could be wrong but I didn't think any CC tournaments counted as a ranked round.

  Nobody from WGT said anything about this, but I think it does count as a ranked round. They probably never thought of the implications... Ecxellent catch on your part though...

  Im pretty sure it does count as a RR  when i play single player i get the Ap bonus and the Ranked Round count  but this is wgtland and that may only apply to single player.  Excellent question

  +1

  Isn't this how some players abuse it to lower (manipulate) their average scores, playing red-tee CC tourneys only?

  Maybe, i am a CC of 1 so i dont create red tee tourneys nor play them but red tee tourneys are always gonna lower your average if you are even a half decent player

  Apparel has always been available to use in Solo Ranked Rounds (9/18 holes) and if on an eligible course, have always counted as RR's and towards your AVG as long as they aren't played as Practice rounds.

  CC Tournaments on eligible courses have also always counted as RR's so adding apparel should not affect this.

  CC Tournaments played on Custom CC courses Do Not count as RR's

  Before I started my own club I played what ever tourney my club at the time had set up. Yes some were red tees but there were also white,yellow and blue tees. How come no one talks about the white, yellow or blue tees? Are they not shorter than the back/black/tips or what ever you wish to call them tees? Cheers

  Those are the normal circumstances.

  Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you're doing it (I know the caliber of you two gents. 😉) nor am I trying to underestimate any achievement accomplished from "normal" CC tourneys other than red-tee ones with a CLEAR intention of exploitation.
