I hadn't noticed this rule until it became relevant on CC-E this week, but you can't get an exemption unless you score even par or better.
I don't understand the point of this rule because it depends entirely on the course played the previous week, making par or better a completely arbitrary cut-off point. The result this week is that only eight players from CC-E get an exemption this week despite only 24 players getting par or better on CC-D this week in Masters Qualifying. Surely those in the top 15% still deserve their place in CC-D for a week despite scoring over par.
I would have been right on the line had the rule not been in place, so not even sure if I'd have made it anyway, but I'm not bellyaching because I haven't got my exemption - the rules were there before the tournament and I'll happily accept them. I just feel it's a strange rule. I guess it's not relevant very often.

It actually isn't relevant often because most CC courses are, for the most part, and compared to what the Web, Euro and PGA guys have to play on, easy. Magnolia was the exception to the rule and thus skewed the results. But trust me, this won't happen again until they dump another mine field on us. Point is, I'm fine with the rule for normal courses. If you can't break par, I don't feel you deserve to go up to the next tier.

You do if 80% of the flight above didn't break par either.
But if it's not something that happens very often it's not worth worrying about.
