    Extremely disappointed here. Today being the 21st......I logged in to play my round 1 and it's done. 

    When it says the 21st on the marquee.......  WTF?????

    I know where you're coming from bogey but I can't imagine too many people out there who go through the rules of every competition.

    When they have advertised it differently on the "play now" screen I think it's pretty harsh, especially as I'm not the only person who has fallen foul of this. The ONLY reason I saved playing my round until this morning was because of the crappy shifts I had been doing this week which would have caused me problems with my focus. I wasn't expecting to win the tournament but I had as much of a shot as most....

    i messed up in a tournament last year due to this miss-advertisement, i think it was the nfk championship round or winter tour, where it was 2 different rounds, on the play now screen it showed a different course to what was actually played ( a picture of congressional but R>S>G loaded) and made me think i had entered wrong tournament and withdrew when it was the right tournament but the menu screen was wrong. No way was i allowed to re-enter the tournament.

    But myself, just like most of us only pay attention to what the menu screen says, so if it says 21, then we presume it is 21and take what it says for granted, i bet no one really looks anywhere else in detail(maybe the tournament screens) And having been caught out by those dates in the past, its extremely frustrating but wgt put it down to our fault and tough luck on our part for not finding more info somewhere else (but it should really have said 18 - 20, NOT 21) so 50/50 who's at fault????

    I almost did exactly the same thing but was very lucky to see something posted by MrWGT ,an update on how the comp was going . Looking through it I noticed something odd about the first round finishing dates and then went and checked it.

    The thing is why have this completely different from any other weekly competition that has ever been run, I knew yesterday there were bound to be people caught out .

    I feel for Courtney, she's the form player at the moment and got stung. I am a decent player but would never have expected to win it but you never know....I'm not too bad on slow greens lol

    You're saying they've made mistakes before and haven't learned a thing?

    Yea that is really poor. I saw the dates and certainly took it as june 18 Through the 21st. Crazy to put the 21st on there and have it end june 20th....hopefully in the future it can be changed?

    They should honour what's been advertised.

    If you walk in a shop, and the owner has mistakenly put a £20.00 ticket on a watch instead of a £200.00 ticket on it, there duty bound by law to sell it to you for £20.

    WGT should let you play it.
