AN IDIOTS GUIDE TO TIERED V FLAT QUALIFYING SYSTEMS

F.A.O. WILD and any other doubters
heres a simplistic way of comparing the 2 qualifying systems
TIERED SYSTEM
Under the current system the tour newcomers start at the bottom of the mountain and have to race 1/4 of the way up the mountain against a fellow young gun.
If they win that race they immediately have to race with a guy whos waiting for them at the 1/4 mark in a race to the halfway mark.
And then if they win that race theres a guy at the halfway point waiting to race them to the 3/4 mark
and finally if they win a 3rd race, theres a guy waiting at the 3/4 point waiting to race them to the top and reach the venue.
Its literally a mountain to climb.

FLAT SYSTEM
Under this system everyone starts at the same starting point and its a flat level playing field, the first 50% of runners over the line go into the 2nd race and then the first 50% of runners over the line in the 2nd race make it to the venue.
the finishing line is in sight for all and this makes progress seem a more realistic prospect for younger players.
