    How are you planning on curtailing sanbaggging? This is ruining this game and ultimaetly will cost members in the long run. When Iview peoples score history and see 35 36 35 32 87 49 it's cheating and those members s/b revoked. Thanks Tim

    Katie,

       He is talking about the reverse of quiting.

    Sandbaggers are people that intentionally post high scores to stay in a higher tier where the can compete easier.

    Sadly, there is one amateur who has won many times, sticks out like a sore thumb and is shameless when it comes to sandbagging. He is what I would term a lazy sandbagger. No art or creative sheltering of his disgusting way of obtaining awards and credits only to revert to giant, non-believable, triple inflated scores that keep his average up to around 95. A sad excuse for human behavior.

    Hey sweetiepie

    Don't come on here and say someone is doing it. Who is it? Call them out and maybe they can be stopped. If you are not willing to do that, don't complain out it!

    She won't because she's a classy dame. Besides, it's not forum policy anyway. There is absolutely zero doubt what she says is true-I saw it myself.

    Make master and stick to playing masters for credits and there isn't a problem. Real master's aren't threatened by sandbaggers in the RG's.

    SP has too much class to do that. It is up to WGT to police the people who only sandbag to gain in terms of tourneys won.
