    Is tibbets LEVEL 30 $14.964.29 a miss print?

    No. Tibbets was a guy who stopped playing before wgt introduced the level system about 18months ago. I didn't play when he did but from what i've heard and read he was a real great of the game both on and off the course. Be nice to see him come back one day.

    Although it might not apply to everyone, in many cases  the earnings number is misleading because it isn't a "net" number.  For example, if I spend 1000 entering a ready go, and I place in the middle of the pack and win 1000 back, it shows up as me having earned 1000, when I actually only broke even and got my entry fee back.

    if the figure as listed as "net earnings" instead, I think it would be a more accurate indicator of performance.

    I believe Tibbets made all his earnings without RGs!

    That makes his achievements even more impressive. Does anyone know why he gave the game up?

    And I also believe he did so with starter clubs!

    AvatarLee played many rounds with Tibbets and knows why he left WGT. but I think Tibbets moved and thus became ineligible to earn or win credits

    I know this won't happen but why couldn't you have rg's based on avg such as  50-55 55-60 60-65 and so on i'm wondering why that couldn't be done?

    LOLserver:

    To me, WGT is like any regular bank; you can be a member & use their services only if you mean good business (money) for them. You, or your ideas do not mean good business for them, you can write a full "bible" about suggestions, personal preferences, new challenges, etc, but you will certainly not change a thing!. Credit makers here will just make more & more credits NOT at expenses of WGT, but at expenses of regular "mortal" players...or naive ones, just to be polite.   

    ....just saying.

    I don't understand your point. If WGT is a bank, it wants your money. It will get more money by having more people play in more RGs. They earn their money by taking a percentage of the entrance fees -- it doesn't who it comes from or what their scoring average is. 

    WGT should want as many people as possible playing in ready gos, especially "new blood," ie, not top earners who are just giving and taking credits from each other (while WGT skims its percentage).

    That's why they introduced tier-based RGs not long ago ... but obviously it's not working out so well for the legends who don't shoot 27 every time they play.
