Too many Ready Go Tournaments?

  Although I am not playing as much as I used to, the habit is a hard one to break. Still playing the odd ready go in an attempt to keep my eye in :)

  Right now though there seems to be a ridiculous amount of ready go tournaments to play in. Turnover isn't as quick and duplication of the same course and 9 just confuses an old timer like me.

  I really don't think we need that many or am I in a one man kayak on this one?

  I agree there are a lot, but different conditions and entry fees...my guess is WGT is testing waters to see what can be supported.

  What I find odd though, is some of the 100cr Legend RG's take a long time to fill and complete.

  "Too many"...??? The more the better.... Now they have 3 tournament in your tier instead of two.... How is that not better...???

  It's better in the sense that there's more variety of courses and entry fees, but I believe tiffer's point is mainly based on the turnover/waiting time for certain RGs to actually fill up.

  Too many, and you'll discourage people from entering early (because they don't want lots of credits tied up for a prolonged period of time) and it could create a reduction in a high turnover of regular entrants, potentially.

  There's clearly a fine balance between a healthy amount and too many... In my opinion, we're probably just about at maximum (i.e - the ideal amount) right now. WGT is obviously testing things out, trying to find the perfect amount, it makes sense ($) for them too.

  More premium single play weekly/monthly tournaments, on the other hand, would be welcomed... there's only 1 weekly multi-round premium, 1 monthly multi and 1 tier monthly.
