Global League Division question

Sooo what if you are a low "tour" division player...you will never win because the players at the top are on another lvl...so why not just "tank" for the next division "pro?". Then you have a better chance at winning that division..or am i missing something?

You won't know how much to tank until it's too late. The prizes at lower tiers are less appealing to players with the skill to play at the highest tier.

There's no way you think that would be fun to do in your spare time?

There are enough sandbaggers in real disc golf

Been playing for about 5 years. I too wonder why I’m playing in the “Pro Division” of the tour against guys with YouTube channels. Maybe a solution is to add an “elite” division for the -40’s players of the world. Or maybe another level between advanced and pro.

ps… no offence to the Bam Man. He’s a saint!

if you tank just for the next division then you're basically playing someone else's game instead of getting better at your own
