    Regarding the above subject....why are we made to wait 5 minutes for a disconnected member? With all due respect to any member who has a slow, or unfortunate, internet connection, do we really need to sit their for 5 mins...especially when playing in a Challenge Mode? Is there anything more frustrating than waiting to collect 90 cents...because of some inconsiderate member who decided to log off just prior to getting his head handed to him? Come on WGT....this seems like a no brainer. Shorten it up to 2 or 3 mins....please! Losing interest fast.

    I play a lot of Guild games at WGTLS, which is foursome Alternate Shot, where players can take a few minutes just to get back in after being booted. Any longer would be ridiculous, any shorter would be too short.

    It's just right as it is IMO.

    3 minutes would be plenty. If you can't get your PC sorted in that time then perhaps it's time you invested in a new one.

    I agree with sgt doodles  on this. Never seen a quitter on wgtls no matter how far up or down.  Sometimes disconnects happens. A blip on the power grid and router/ computer resets and takes 3-4 mins to get back in. Would much rather wait a couple mins , than to have to restart from hole 1.   

    Would be great if stroke play was given at least 30 seconds, so a momentary blip on screen doesnt lock everyone up or kick a player out.
