     My average was 70, looked at it before game and just before holing out t o make sure.

    Scored a 29 on Congressional Winter League Front 9 warmup in CC tourny.

    Average went up to 70.25

     I pretty much understand and know that it won't go down for awhile, but why would it go up? Do Legends need  -9 -10 or better to at least keep average steady?

    Thanks in advance.......

    That's odd, you should be at 70 based on your first Legend round.

    What's stranger, you should have been at 71.71 before the 29.

    I wouldn't worry too much though, the average will settle down in a few hundred rounds;)

    Yes, in the beginning it goes up by higher scores, quite naturally, but that should not be by a round of 58 (2x 29).

    The average is taken from the best 20(?) rounds in one tier! Moving up to the next tier, you "lose" all those pretty & low rounds of the last tier and start from scratch.

    So, all those ugly highscore rounds (3x37(=74) & 39 (78) in your scores) will be in the mix until you've played enough low scores to eliminate them.

    And no, -10 ain't necessary, just scores equal to or less than your current average, until you have 20 of them.

    Recheck the title, he's speaking of Legend Tier, mine was 200 rounds before high scores were kicked out, others reported it being 400 rounds.

    Also, average can go down shoot ABOVE your average once you hit saturation,...i.e if you have a 70 avg, but an 81 is factored in for the 70 avg...and you shoot a 75...the 81 get's bumped, and average goes down.

    Agreed!

    Yes, I've heard about the 400 rounds deal before it stops going up as well. Looooong road to travel there  lol.  Thanks for the replies guys, was just curious.

    Don't know about the Tour Pro tier but I remember I think it was Ms. Lizzie who shared the info on Tour Master and it was definitely 50 rounds for it  :)

    LOL  okay now this is just getting weird. I just played another CC tourny game and scored a 35....guess what?  Average went "DOWN" to 70.22.   Not complaining at all but just weirded out by it all  and this was a game directly after the above mentioned game of 29 where it went up lol :)   Oh well, live and play on  hahaha
