    yes works for me most of the time but can only do it once per game  the frustrating ones are thows that use their 10 shots on a hole to waste time on a game they cant win they are out there .

    Agree! we must create a whitepaper with list of cheaters and block them if WGT is not doing anything about it.

    I am a bit slow on the uptake, it would be helpful if you could please explain.

    LVL 87

    Avg 112

    Ranked round 2

    XP for the club 193146

    Are you asking for an explanation of the stats you posted?  L87 means they have accumulated a minimum of 5,648,322 XP since starting.  Ranked Round = 2 means they have played 2 games that count toward average (Scored games that do not include H2H matches, MP/Skins/Alt Shot, BOP3/BOP5/Custom courses).  Avg = 112 means they scored a total 224 strokes in the 2 RR they completed.  XP for the club = 193146 mean that's how many XP they have accumulated for their Country Club since joining by using passes.

    There are a lot of really good players that can have a low RR total and/or high scoring average if they play predominately Coin Rooms or MP/Skins/Alt Shot since those don't count as RR.  So basically they are getting in the "practice time" without affecting their RR or scoring stats.  I say this because I would suspect 95%+ of these accused "Cheaters" are just really good players who beat people fair and square, they just prefer not to go the traditional route of Ranked Scored games.  To put someone on a "Whitepaper" list accusing them of cheating without some concrete evidence would be a horrible idea.  You can create your own personal "block list" of people you suspect of cheating, slow playing, disconnecting, etc... but to publicly post it would not be a good idea.  There's also an in-game block list you can create, but unfortunately it won't guarantee you won't ever get matched against them again.

    This is absolutely correct. If players have concrete evidence, they should simply submit it to WGT. But creating a list of players is a really bad idea. There’s no way that would go well.

    Just played a lvl103 TP with a 67.76. did a lot of stalling but made every shot. Is this cheating?

    I wouldn’t think so. If he’s lvl 103 and still a TP then he’s not a very good cheat.

    I believe i just ran into my first cheater or at least the first one I've suspected of it. First hole I hit a 12' 3" right to left breaking putt and he started calling me a cheater. Was up by 4 after 4 then the guy went lights out. Over a 150' of putts over the next five holes with little to no time taken to read the putts. Sad that people have to ruin what I think is a solid game. It has its issues but if they don't address the cheating it will slowly destroy the game.

    And how do you think he cheated with a cheat program??? I can only tell you it’s impossible

    I think people are referring to people stalling, hitting extra shots, running the clock down to zero then disconnecting and coming back thus resetting the clock.  All done in a n effort to get the other player to quit instead of having to wait around for these clowns.

    They are not referring to anyone using cheating software.  I think in the early days there was some cheat software that could be used on WGT, but I think that can't be done anymore.  I remember seeing one that was some kind of timer that would allow you to hit the ding on every shot. (which really wasn't all that much of an advantage anyway if you think about it).

    But for the most part, I think you are right about WGT no longer able to be hacked with any kind of cheating software.
