Quarterly Promotion Events
- These will be used to top up tours every 3 months

- Users can take advantage and fast track up the tours with good play during these events
- Participation is optional for those who meet the qualifications

When do we start?

When you say Merge World Tour and PGA Tour just to be clear the World tour will be a thing of the past correct? Are we just taking all the World/PGA Tour players and they will be on the main tour then?

That’s very good!

Doyley are promotion marks little green ticks?

So is the cut line still at 70 or is it going to be 120 for pro tours?

70 still

Personally, I’d suggest making CC-A through D CC-Pro and E-Z Am to keep things balanced. But I’m sure you and the schedulers have talked things over, so just giving a quick thought.

Would it be possible to do a Q-school pre-season event for those thinking they might have a realistic chance at moving up a couple of flights?

OMG Thats even better. Sorry im easily amused.

Geez promotions seem really slow. Top 20 just for one mark and you have to get 5? At best it’s over a month on a tour before moving up. I’m going to miss sponsors exemptions.

Guess I better just get comfortable on CC-D, I’m not going anywhere. Probably for the best, keeps me from having aspirations of getting a shot at Web.com or better.

I like the look of the amended format. Just a shame my participation is going to be sporadic.

Like the new system far simpler to understand (and for you guys to code) just wondering is there going to be a q school? Doesn’t look that way going to be. I was looking forward to sandbagging into CCZ but guess I’ll have to do it the long way
