Why not a 6 player game instead of 7, and make it teams. 3 v 3. All players on a team recieve same points at games end, regardless of when they drop out.

You can keep domination on a team basis.

Example, red/blue/green are one team, and teal/purple/yellow another. you solicit a team in a lobby of a room and determine battle. If you want a random team setup have open rooms, if you have a decided match, you have a locked room, which requires a pass that is set by host of room.

This way is Les/Wish/Monte or any combination want to work as a team, they can but on a fair basis rather than a 3 v individuals basis

In the end, having good partners will matter, but the real cream will rise to the top, not just those with the pga network
