Better control when it comes to winds (direction/speed) in our own tournament setup

• Allows us to do some fun things in tournaments
  
• For example:
  
• Create tournaments with 40+ mph winds
  
• Lower the variance of winds (so you will see similar winds to others playing in the same tournament) when we use this feature
