  Dear  WGT,

   

  Many of us players that are not playing almost  exclusively to "improve" our  levels
  ( mine is Master  73.1)  are constantly  suffering from those players that keep disconnecting if they happen to have two bad holes and a few bogeys. As you well know  by disconnecting  their unfinished round, the bad score is eliminated and not taken in consideration.

  But by so doing  they   1) They leave stranded the other players because they disconnect  BEFORE ending their holes and that freezes the game.  2) The other players who were counting on picking up  credits by finishing a round  with all the players that started, can no longer do so.

  I strongly  suggest    1) that WGT allow only  a limited number of disconnections per month, penalizing those that go over the limit.

  2) You give credit for finishing a round by counting the number of players that STARTED the  round.

  Finally, I have been playing  5 consecutive  days and  the ticker saying " consecutive days played"  keeps  reporting  one day only.

  Sincerely

  Hi

  I know I heard some ideas how to improve the current system. We are still researching it.

  Thanks for the comments.

  Cremonese - are you still seeing an issue with the consecutive days?

  Yesterday, I entered a stroke play game with two other players.  There were numerous disconnections always taking us back to the initial screen and finally reloading the game.  That happened several times during the game and on hole 8, one player left (either got booted or left on his own).  It froze the game.  I disconnected and started the game again and as I figured, the other player was gone but I elected to continue since it was a ranked game.

  When I tried to make the putt, I kept getting an error message which required me to restart the game.  I did this twice more and when I tried to continue, I got a message that I had discontinued 3 times and therefore was required to forfeit the match.

  What's up with that?

  Why not make disconnection non invasive to the rest of the players in the round.  This would not even be an issue if it did not interfere with the other players in the round.
