Hahahaha proud of minimums ... if you are a 60 Y.O. man or a 40 Y.O. woman you should be proud that you played in 1 PDGA event. Pat on back.
Or it will fill with Rich Pros who suck lol
In a world where you're sorting by points and demand is outstripping supply for spots, that's unnecessary. Just leave the invite quota where it is (or hell, get rid of it as that magic number will be meaningless), have players who want to go to Worlds put down a $50 deposit on their entry fee. Then sort them out by points.Here's my proposal:
Based on the previous years points from http://www.pdga.com/players/stats?Y...er=All&Bracket=Open&Country=All&StateProv=All
- Determine the highest points accrued for the previous year in each division, for MPO 2014 it was 20233 (Paul Ulibarri).
- By February 1, issue invitations to any PDGA member with 10% of the high value in item 1, in the case of MPO 2014 this is 2023 points.
I don't call that gaming the system. I call that working ones butt off. Those people deserve a shot a Worlds more than the guy who plays the previous years Worlds and maybe 1-2 NT events or A-tiers just to get his invite points. Under a system where its important to get as many points as possible and not just past a certain number, the latter guy knows he can't just rest on that strategy anymore.[*]Everything can be gamed, and although unlikely, this system could be gamed by hitting a large number (huge really) of local events regardless of event quality.

Yes, agreed. Either way works as long as it's transparent and prioritizes great pllay.In a world where you're sorting by points and demand is outstripping supply for spots, that's unnecessary.

Well, I agree the person hitting lots of events to earn some points for Worlds is paying their dues. That's the touchy subject though, at some point you have to decide whether the priority for Worlds is the lowest scoring golfers in the world or towards the more inclusive "everyone who works hard enough should go".I don't call that gaming the system.
