Yes, besides the Achivements, WGT has also made several daily and weekly individual and club goals related to the coin rooms, such as “Win 10 coin games in a row.” (Not easily done in the higher coin rooms.). Also a club may need 40 wins in Chelsea or Paris, so you get Legends, Champs, and TC’s helping their club by seeking wins there instead of in Tokyo, Manhattan, or Bellagio, where they might normally play.
And, of course, the Showdowns are played in the lower rooms. I have to get birdies to place high enough to advance, but if the round goes to a tie breaker, I almost always blow it on purpose if playing a lower tier, because you’re right, I don’t need the coins or the win, just the birdies (or eagles) before the tiebreaker.
