In my opinion, I feel it would be beneficial to allow players to register late, for standard events only, on their home tour. If the cut line hasn't been made yet why not home players register? We don't have travel plans to make and expenses to cover so what is the real benefit in limiting the field? (In standard events ONLY). We should have a field cap prior to the start of the week so in turn you limit how many players are playing up, but if this is your home tour and you forgot to register, as long as we still make the cut at 70 then what is the big deal? Only a suggestion, as I feel this could have people who have severely busy schedules and sometimes forget to register (not me of course.... and definitively didn't happen this week ha ha ha...)

I wouldn't change anything about registering for events. But I do think limiting the field for eligible players could use a tweak. What if you had a max field for tour members (PGA and EURO) and when that was filled, you can't register any longer. But the exemption guys are a limited number every week (5 to 10? not sure the number). Shouldn't they be able to compete and try to earn their card?
No adjustments on cut line, but the field might grow from 144 to 150 or so with exemption players.
I will be honest and say I don't have a really strong feeling about this. If it stayed exactly how it is now, I wouldn't really care. Just a suggestion though.

Currently weve only gone to the max limit in the late registration window for the current week. The next week and week after are in play. Further, the Euro Tour hasnt gotten to max fields. That option is open if someone with an exemption is dedicated to using their exemption that same week they earn it. |

I just don't see the point in penalizing people for forgetting to register on their home tour when as of right now, nobody has came up with a valid reason (in my opinion) as to why fields cannot go slightly over the max field limit post original entries... |

No idea how this would work because it would probably be hard to implement, but I had a thought that is a little bit of a different direction.
Alternates.
After 144 is reached, then people can register for an alternate list. The group of players that WD by not completing two rounds by Thursday night (or simply those that never teed off at all by that same deadline) would be replaced by the alternates. Problem is that the alternates would have to play two rounds by Thursday night not knowing if they would be put into the field or not.
Are we still giving people a week off if they have two consecutive WDs? If that is not in place, having it back in place would help to try and keep the fields as active as possible.

Why have a max field at all?

Why have a max field at all? It mimics the actual Pro tours. 144 is a common pga full field RL. If you open it up to say 200 or whatever, that is diluting the strength of the tour for the sake of handing out cards. Personally, I think if we are getting max fields in our PGA tour here, then it should start to be harder to get a card again. But I know the staff wants both pga and euro to be full fields. Euro still needs more each week to get to max fields. Problem is that lately the web members moving up are quite skewed towards the pga. |

It just mimics best they can RL. 1 little click and anyone who wanted to play, plays. Rule has been around for a while now, late registrations are subject to max field. Its not as if there was no knowledge of the rule and 2 full weeks to register. Not sure how any of that is considered unfair and in need of changing.
Lets not forget here, the field was not full at the deadline as well, it filled after with late registrations.
People play and forget to put in their scores they want rule changed, people put in wrong scores, they want rule changed, people fail to register, they want rule changed, how about people just try and follow the rules.

Let's also not forget that it is a game and not real life. Anyone know how many active players there are? As more people join, it might be time to change a few things. All I'm really saying is that this is all supposed to be fun and we don't have to stick with something because its tradition. |

I don't think many people would find a field of 250 with a cut line of 70 that much fun. There needs to be a limit. There clearly needs to be some kind of rebalancing between the PGA & Euro though. The Euro Tour hasn't had anywhere near a full field for as long as I can remember. Clearly the vast majority of Web graduates are going for PGA Cards. |

Not 1 single person has to date been not able to play and submit their score to a the tournament of their choice provided they registered on time. Not 1. So because 1 person decided not to register within the 2 weeks provided, it's being suggested we have to expand the pga tour to hundreds of people, remove all registration requirements and basically spoil the great thing these guys have set up. That does not sound like fun to me, what we have now is more fun. |

Nothing is changing with registration. You have two weeks to register. Don't forget :-) The PGA field for next week's has 3 spots left. You better get in while you can!

And here's the problem with that... I'm going to make the cut and get my PGA tour card this week...but not until Monday. By then tournament will be full. So, basically... "Congrats, you made the PGA! Your reward is a week NOT playing in the PGA!" |
