...and this week I gained 6 spots (moved from 63rd to 57th) with almost the same finish. Funny stuff... I will most likely never really understand those calculations! I hope this isn't insulting your intelligence and you already know this and making myself look like an idiot: There is a drag on events 13+ weeks out. Each week the points for an event over 13 weeks ago will lose a certain % of influence (somewhere in the 1-2% range). This is to encourage recent play while still taking into account past performance, but gradually diminishing its effect on WGR. Everyone's divisor is still 40 as three has not been 40 tournaments yet, but IRL the divisor range is 40-52 over a 2 year gap. Once we get past 52 events, many who play every event will benefit, and those who haven't hit 52 but are under 40 will benefit as well. It's complicated and the fact that we have this is amazing. Whether you insulted his intelligence or not, it was enlightening for me. Thanks for the explanation. How did you figure all this out? Is it in a sticky somewhere?

I used to follow how real life WGR was calculated. owgr.com if you would like to get technical. Pull up a specific players' profile to see how events have specifically affected them. Web.com and CC events are likely (this is a pure guess) a higher influence here than IRL, but it is to be expected as the majority of players are in CC tours. I was helped along from this early as I was Web/CC-A early on, and am now experiencing the flip side and the tighter constraints of the higher WGR ranks.

I was looking forward to this week, but my practice round with the highest wind was only about 13-14mph. Now Im nervous. Bust out the whiskey and controller, grip and rip it!
