  I only allow green players to join games I create. If everyone did the same, the quitters would have no choice but to play each other and see how they like a taste of their own medicine.

  Oooh, perhaps a quitters only Tournament. I hope we could put it on twitch :-P

  I will either leave or boot a player with an orange (poor) completion rate, and I'm starting to get to the point where I don't play yellows either.  If you play randoms, there's no way to avoid 100% of the quitters out there, but you can tip the scales in your favor.

  Also, while I don't keep charts or notes on wind and club lengths and etc. etc. etc., I do keep one WGT file on my computer - my DNP list.  It's chock full of quitters, cheaters, and poor sports.  It wouldn't hurt to keep one open on your desktop while you play, and just do a quick cross-reference before you commit to a game.

  I used to do that Michael, years ago when I was coming up through the ranks, a lot of Alternate Shot games in those days, and my list became so huge it was almost unmanageable.

  In fact I got so bored adding names every day, I just gave up and did what Fish suggests above.

  We should set it up as a bracket tournament so we can bet on it like it's March Madness

  I would like to point out to you folks who put great faith in the badge color, that I have lost my green not due to quitting but by forfeitures forced by three disconnects not initiated by me other players have said the same. until wgt's ugrades include a way to keep us connected to the game we would dearly like to finish, the completion badge has little meaning.

  From my experience making it to Master is....the badge colors don't lie. I've been disconnected, sent error messages, etc and still manage to re-join the game. It comes down to either you don't know how to re-join or you don't want to (quitter). I'd prefer to trust the badge color to tell me who is likely to finish. No disrespect intended..
