  just wondering if its possible in your future planning if we can have tournaments based on prizemoney won by the individual player,  this could make for some fairer tournaments. with the likes of bollux, avatarlee, mrenn, and many others who accumalated thousands in prizemoney, play in comps amongst themselves, and for the lesser legends who just cant match it with those guys, and this goes for all tiers, not just legends. example > tournament 1 ( legend only with prizemoney  already won between 2000 - 4000 )   tournament 2  ( legend only with prizemoney won between 1000 - 1999 ), and so on ....    whats people's views on this .   as i believe players prizemoney is a better guide than there averages to how  good  or what tier they should be playing.     because when prizemoney is on the line u would expect hardly no sandbagging.

  Issue I see, is WGT (least not publicly) does not show "net earnings".  I/e I have over a 1000.00 in earnings, and still donate real money here and there.

  Plus, only WGT would benefit, gleening credits for those who "may" have the most.

  MB is right. Career earning is not necessarily a good way to make tournament tier (well it could be but not as it is now)

  1. I you enter a ready-go by paying a fee of 100 credits and at the end of the tourney you earn 100 credits, your net earning is 0 credits but your career earning will be increased by 1$ = 100 credits. So, if you play a lot of ready-goes, you can have a big career earning but in practice you didn't earn that much and you are not that strong
  2. The credits you earn by playing Match Play Challenge or Skins game are not included in career earnings.
  3. If you win some prize through sweepstake, it is included in your career earnings but this is not related to the fact your played well it's a random drawing. So not so strong players can have a big career earning. Using your system would penalize them.
  4. Strong players who doesn't play much ready-goes or other tourney, does have a low career earning, but they are strong. Using your system would favor them.

  So in short, as it is now, career earnings are not directly related to the level of play of players. For some players like Bollox, yes it works but for some other it doesn't work that well.

  I think they need to make a change there.  Career earnings shout indicate how much players have won in skins and match play games as well.  It would be nice to know how apt to win money some players are if im playing them for money.

  still  dam sight betta than we have now, players who have won between 4000 / 2000 play in there own tournament, players between 1999 / 999 play in theres and so on, and players who aint earned much due to sandbagging or not playing premium stuff play in there own tourney > as in 0 - 998.

  lets face it. if anyone has the slightest bit of ability why wouldnt they be trying to win money, and the ones who dont wont, and it will show in gross earnings,  so then we all can play within  much fairer competitons.      and i dont want all comps done this way  just the odd few premium  ones  few times a month.     coz as it stands im a legend, and play quite well, have no friggen chance against legends who are shooting 54 -56,   tell me when ya see a  2 tour pro's with such a distinct gap between them or other tiers.
