  DarSum:

  WGT came up with this "ball speed boost" to allow faster play. So players that like to play fast and play RGs can now hurry up and wait. Makes no sense.

  Why not just test 3 or 4 "quick play" RGs? Make them 3 or 4 hours after filled. People would love them.

  This is my point exactly. If you need to shoot a practice round before you play, go ahead and play one. Does it take 12 hours though? I didn't think so.

  I started playing RGs recently, there are some that may take up to two days to fill, then you have to wait 12 extra hours on top of that... What? A few hours should be enough, if you cannot play within that time... why? Maybe the last  players should get a reminder when they sign up that they have X time left to complete their game.... and spare the early birds of an unjustified 12 hours wait..

  I finished a game yesterday as MASTER... don't remember how many had already signed up.. but tonight... only 36 people have joined, and when 50 sign up... We still will have to wait 12 hours... could be Legend by then...

  "After the tournament fills up, you will have 12 hours for stroke play games and 3 hours for closest-to-the-hole games, to complete your round. If you don't post a score within that timeframe you will be disqualified from the tournament."

  3 hours is the perfect time for verifying the scores. Why does it take so much longer to verify scores in RG's? ^ hours would be good, but 3 hours would be great!

  Please WGT!

  They don't use that time to verify scores. The 12 hours is to play the round. As soon as the 12 hours are up the scores are verified straight away and the credits are paid out.

  There's plenty of ready go's available to play all the time so just enter one or two of the others while you're waiting.
