    I've been going on 135 days of play. I try to use all my passes and I have found that I'm getting 12 XP points instead of 1350 or so when I use my passes. What's up with that? Been going on for months.

    CRobinson2038:

    I've been going on 135 days of play. I try to use all my passes and I have found that I'm getting 12 XP points instead of 1350 or so when I use my passes. What's up with that? Been going on for months.

    If you are on 135 consecutive days then you probably are getting the CDP bonus.  When do you use your passes?  I see from your scoring history you do some Blitz games.  They will give around 12 points, depending on the level of your CC.  If I play a CTTH, I get a total of 14, 9 for 9 strokes, and the other 5 for the CC bonus.

    To get the CDP Bonus XP's for your CC you have to use a pass for the first thing you do after the start of the new day.  The new day starts @ 0000 GMT.  I'm on Central Time, so for me with Daylight Savings Time my new day starts @ 7 PM.

    Sometime just after the start of the new day I play 1 random hole in Practice Mode on any course I choose.  I then get the CDP bonus, plus the number of strokes and the bonus points for my CC level.  By using the CC pass, my CC gets the same.  You could also use the pass for an 18 hole tournament round and get 400 extra bonus points for playing that round for both you and your CC.  Because of the CC not getting the points if someone quits, I don't use them when playing AS or any MP games.

    Using a CC pass for any CTTH or Blitz game (9 holes / 9 shots) except for the very first time of the new day is a complete waste of both time and the pass.  There aren't enough points in that format to be worthwhile.  

    Hope this helps,

    +1 to the analysis of the fellow's actions.

    Alas, it has been at least six months that players (and, with a pass, their CCs) receive the CDP bonus on their first stroke ?in all games?.

    Thus, the outcome may be less than max on a premature discon, but that bonus should be safe.

    And if you miss to use the pass with one CDP, don't worry: It will be available on the next day!

    => Never buy CC passes. NEVER!
