It looks like there is no Spring Tour (after the Fall and Winter tour). Indeed, no qualifier tournament yet.
I know that the comings months two new courses will be released (well one for sure, in May, don't know about the second one yet) together with the associated competitions (US Open and Open). But I was thinking that this WGT Tour was a new competition which would run all over the year.
Don't know why there is no WGT Tour during Spring and Summer... ?
Digression (yes I cannot make short post...) :
I think WGT Tour was a nice idea which brought a lot of interests. From my point of view this was the most interesting competition so far because it would last over a rather long period of time. Three qualifiers, three championships and a final over 3 months. So a good score posted on the first month would still have some meaning three month later if it allowed you to qualified for the final.
As I already mentionned before in another thread, beside the social part of this site, I believe that long term competition is what can keep you interested in this site. I mean, for a ready-go, a bad or very good score can be forgotten the next day and you have to start over from scratch the next day (or the next hour). So from some aspects ready-goes are nice but after a while you feel like Sisyphus, starting over again the same stuff :) (and I don't play much ready-goes, I have to admire Yoban for example...).
I know that competitions like WGT Tour are only really interesting for those who can qualify for the championship and, to some extend, for the final. But there are probably ways to extend the interest. For example with the same amount of prizes you could do the following.
For the moment, the top 100 in the qualifiers are qualified to play the championship where the top 10 players win a 100$ gift card and where the top 3 are qualified for the final where the winner gets a 1000$ gift card.
But an alternative would be that the top 100 players in the qualifier are qualified for an elite A championship and players from ranked between 100 and 200 are qualified for an elite B championship (with ties, it would amount to around 300 players, perhaps even more). Top 10 in elite A championship win a 80$ gift card and top 10 in elite B championship win a 20$ gift card. The top 3 players in elite A championship and elite B championship are qualfied for a final A and a final B respectively. The winner of the final A gets a 800$ gift card and the winner of the final B wins a 200$ gift card.
With this kind of system more players could play to win some prizes and thus more players would find it interesting while the total amount of money involved is the same.
(yes I know that some kind of sandbaging could occur with this system where good players could qualfiy on purpose to play in elite B instead of playing in elite A where they belong to. This is just a raw idea and by thinking a bit more this could problem be prevented and anyway because a bad round can occur anytime to anybody, even if you are a top player, you are not sure to win in elite B).
