  Its a tough one for sure, but it is surprising to fill up so slowly. Oakmont is a favored course by many readygo enthusiasts, and with the conditions moderate winds champ greens,  it doesnt take a super low number to win $$  

  Last time around, anything better than a   66 (-4)  got you at least 1/2 your entry fee back.   Post a 60 for 36.67 return.  Only 36 posted score  and of that top 30 all made 10.00 or more.

  But if you don't think in terms of credits - think dollars, entering a tournament for $20 and on a tough course with tough greens, (it would be easy to be +2 or +3 after the first two holes) a 50% return on your investment means you've just thrown $10 away, and I guess that isn't an option especially for a lot of players who don't have credits built up

  Icon this is getting beyond a joke now, can you shut the tourney down and refund the credits. Would be much appreciated.

  Thanks

  If you sign up through the tournament page, you'll see the duration...usually about 20 days for RG's...you folks still have some wait time.

  Not sure what happens if it reaches that date and is not full.

  IMO a mistake was made when the Best of 2k RG was started with so little entries in the Oakmont.  Now they are both suffering.  In the mid 30's now for entries...hopefully will only be a few more days now.

  ...well the enteries are trickleing in for that 5k @ BPB, but dont hold your breath on the length of time it will take to fill this thing!!!

  I think we should get a refund or just close out those other tournies that have yet to fill, and pay out the posted scores...better yet, give us interest on our credits that sat in the pot for the last couple of weeks!
