  Also if a player is inactive for more than 3 months they are automatically removed from the game and mst start from Hack again.

  Nice to see you didnt just come here and write down the first thing that came to your mind.

  Really man ? And so what do they do with all the money that person spent? Nice try but thats just outrageous.

  Fartman- WGT already has done something about sandbaggers and cheaters. They allow responsible adults to play their game without gambling!

  Tying tier promotions to quantity of play (levels) without taking into account the quality of play penalizes the vast majority of players who play honestly and do not have the skill set to play at the highest levels.

  I've been here almost 6 years and have already been a victim of what you are proposing. When WGT switched to the level system I was placed automatically into the Master Tier without actually qualifying for it. If I were looking at that nightmare happening over and over again I definitely wouldn't be here. Most of my real life friends that were caught up in that transition left the game.

  I have never lost a single penny to anyone who was sandbagging or cheating. I simply do not enter any competition that requires an entry fee or requires me to risk credits in a gambling scenario.

  A responsible adult can easily control exposure to sandbaggers and cheaters here choosing opponents through  friends and Country Clubs. It's the players' responsibility to be careful.

  Well if they are doing something then they are not doing a good job. Just had a look at all the diamonds the leader of the tp open has but then I looked at profile and I was shocked to see the 9 hole scores and the ready go wins it damn near blew my mind. And the average is just sick. default.aspx

  I wonder if there is a connection to a Tar heel fan of 83?

  There is nothing on this site that forces you to come in contact with that person in a manner that costs you anything. The TP Open has an entry fee. Knowing that those types of competitions with bigger awards are the ones that sandbaggers and cheaters are going to enter, just avoid them. Let them all fight it out among themselves!

  If WGT can turn a profit on tournaments entered only by the scums, let them. If they can't, they'll restructure the tournaments and/or change their policing tactics.

  Beyond that, when you see a suspect like the one you are pointing out, turn them in. If justice is meted out, fine. If not, that's fine, too, since you haven't lost anything to them.

  Looks like she shoots max shots when not in tournaments, LOL.

  Maybe she just isn't as focused without the competition.

  AGREED.

  This is why I don't pay to play unless it is just between friends.

  They are  doing something.

  I was going to enter that  one over the weekend and backed out after I looked at the profile. Reported it to the Moderators . I was told they would look into it . (shrugs)
