I was refrring to a " pro clubs recommended, but masters are allowed" type rule.. ...and BTW I had fun in CC season 5 playing with the high difficulty for the record...as I'm sure many did with both sets.. I meant that no one accused any Masters Club players of taking the easy route. A wide subset of Master Club players, however, did argue for splitting the standings. Hard to argue against that point; eventually the rule was changed and it benefited CC. Once that was done, players were able to play the club set they preferred without sacrificing competitiveness. Still, it's hard to compare Master Club users across platforms because they are significantly different. There's some case to be made that you were deserving of being placed higher than your current flight if you played Master Clubs on XBoxOne. Ah, got it. I think the placement in flight should still be dictated by one's play, not just because they play masters on XB..or any system for that matter.. We'll just have to wait and see what happens and then we'll all either adapt or move on.. |

Players that Withdraw from a tournament should not receive any marks.

I suppose that would be an issue. What about those that purposely WD to move down tiers and then dominate? I suppose there isn't an easy way to gaurd against that. |

I suppose that could just be my opinion. |

These issues are about the "ethic side" of the game. It should never happen...but it happens. I don't think there's a way to block this attitude (the preference to be a big fish in a small pond, I mean). But don't punish with some demo mark who wd a tournament it would creates for sure exactly what Kyle says. Any tournament would be ended by less than 100 players. For sure. The cut could be useful also for this..but It stays the problem of the time limit, maybe something wrong for those players not so involved in the tour (and probably a good number of cc players are simply weekend players?). Maybe the only thing to tweak a bit about the demo mark system for the next season (presuming we'll have still master and pro clubs involved, obviously  ) it could be to implement in some way the same logic used for the promo mark, with the club used involved in this..but I don't know if and how this could be actually possible to implement. |

Don't forget why this question was asked. According to their data, the master clubs do not play the same over the three platforms,(pc, xbox, ect.), but the pro clubs do. So if you and I are playing each other, but I play on a pc and you play on xbox, then one of us has an advantage right from the start.

We all get it, it is what it is.. |

I think issues with sandbagging are rare (not non-existent) and can be policed manually on a case-by-case basis.
I think players who withdraw should finish at the bottom of the standings and whatever demotion marks apply should continue to apply.
People not finishing their rounds to avoid demotions was an actual problem in season 2 before the rule was changed. Players sandbagging has never been more than an occasional issue that the staff has handled when needed.

Just played my first season in Tgc (PGA) and finished with a WGR 13. A couple of times during the season I played the euro tnmt aswell just to see how I would compare after hearing that PGA players where the cream of the crop. Well I have to think there are some serious sandbaggers in euro as I couldn't get near the top 20. In the next tnmt I finished somewhere in the top 10 but still not what I would have expected with a PGA WGR 13. Somethings going on there no doubt. If you're better than me then come up to the PGA and show what you have.
