   I entered a tourn tonight and tried to play. I was -2 thru 4 and all of a sudden the power bar started hanging up and dragging. I finally withdrew on 9 before finishing. How do you expect for folks to compete when this stuff happens? I know it is not my computer and every couple of days this seems to go on to some extent...is it because it is Friday night and the server is slowing down because of high usage? I am not going to enter again until something is resolved.

  Hi jbowles, before you start a tournament, try closing and reopening your browser. It's possible that this happens every few days because your browser gets bogged down from not being restarted.

   I power off my computer every night when I go to bed and the next morning I run Superantispyware and then clear out all temp internet files, cookies, etc. and then log onto the internet.

  I cleared out everything and logged on to play a practice round and it started doing it again just now

  We don't recommend that you clear your temp internet files every day. The game depends on caching certain large files, and clearing them every day causes you to have to download them every day. Usually closing and reopening your browser is sufficient. Please check out this post about optimizing your system: http://www.wgt.com/forums/p/635/2552.aspx

  International Opens have no purse unfortunately.  They are just there so some of the other countries can get in on the tournament action too.
