alosso: It's the green - yellow - red buttons appearing with each player in MP games. They are connected to the completion rate of some MP games.
Sounds good, I had never noticed it before but I had never looked or paid attention. Fortunately I show up as green but I don't play a lot of match play games except when the format comes up in a CC event.
Thanks for the clarification, on the plus side, I would wager the completion rate for most players on desktop is far better than the completion rate of mobile players in the coin games. That being said, I also know some players will forfeit when it is clear they are losing in a 1 hole coin game "to save time" if they are working on a timed sponsor round and they are trying to get an extra match or two in to earn more sponsor apparel points.
Because of the latter, and possibly frustration or egos or whatever... you see a very high number of forfeits in the coin games.
Given what you have shared, I would think desktop games would have fewer forfeits but as pointed out the reasons can vary as well, some accidental and others intentional.
I have read about a desktop glitch where a player that forfeited was able to "essentially" steal the skins (credits) from the other players and that does sound like something that should be fixed when credits are being wagered.
