When you put in the request has no bearing at all. On Championship courses, priority members first by point value, then regular members by point value. Executive courses by points only.

So far it’s worked well for my group.

That's because the priority membership is for champ courses olny.

With the Executive courses, residents actually get priority for t times if they play less and have less corresponding points, to level the playing field. Having no points for playing Championship courses is worthless next to a priority member.

The champ courses are a private business. They are not an amenity. The owner has the right to sell priority memberships.

Good example of what you speak. NOT reading all posts before providing a duplicate answer. That is laziness.......

I am well aware of the fact that the Championship courses are a private business. I just don’t like the way they try to insult Villagers intelligence by attempting to claim that the t time allocation system is fair and equitable for both executives and championships. It is fair and equitable for executives, but the system is not the same for Championships, it’s a pay to get an advantage system. Call things what they are.

I believe the computer has to have some parameters, that being date and time would be one of them for tiebreakers when all else is equal. You have two requests both foursomes with all priority members and all have 1 point each. The date and time would be the next deciding factor, what else could it be?

Same with non-priority members making a request. Once the computer has given out all the teetimes to priority requests and now the non-priority requests come next, and equal groups with equal points, how would the computer know which one to consider next, date and time is all that's left. I can see a twosome getting bumped higher to be paired with another twosome, but in that case all is not equal.

Don’t forget that priority members playing with guests come before non priority residents. Not right in my opinion.

Opportunities is plural. One of them being a fair and equal opportunity to purchase a priority membership.

I would think if someone wanted to do things the way they wanted, all they would have to do is build their own golf course or 12.

Why isn't it right? Us priority players "Paid" for that right.
