  Tightrope:

  1. Allow reconnect in stroke multi rounds in the same way as match play

  ..I'd like to see that in all games

  I think one reason why that option is not in all games is that you might end up sitting in the lobby waiting for a player to reconnect that has no intention to reconnect. In match play and alternate shot, the game ends if the player reconnects, but a scored game can continue. 

  To solve that situation there could be two additions:

   

  1. When a player disconnects, the remaining players get question: "Your opponent [name] has disconnected for unknown reasons, do you want to go to the lobby and allow him to reconnect?"
  2. In the lobby, while waiting for the player, the "Tee off" button is active for the game "boss", who can then choose to go back onto the course without waiting the full 5 minutes.

  If a player ends his round clicking "End round", a message "Your opponent [name] has quit this round" and no options to allow him to reconnect will be necessary.

   

  If lobby is set up where you only wait 1.min..It boots him, then you can go back to game

  One minute is not enough for a real crash, better let the remaining players have the option to stop waiting after 1 minute.

  My questions:

  1. Do you think it's fair that each individual competitor in a tournament can experience different amounts of random deviation?

  2. Are there any plans to add HD courses that aren't those from the US & British Opens?

  I'd like to add:

  1A. Do you think it is fair that each individual competitor can see drastically different conditions to where one player could be playing with the wind 75% of the time while another player in the same round on the same course could be hitting into the wind 75% of the time?  Does WGT consider this a fair way for tournaments to be run?

  Question:

  When that golfer (forget his name) started a round with an extra driver, and his caddy tried to hide it, he was DQed and everyone knew it.  When the Saints broke the rules, and a few years before that the Patriots in the NFL, everyone knew it and the NFL was public about how they handled the problem.  When the NCAA found Ohio State guilty of breaking the rules, they publicly announced the sanctions against Ohio State.

  Why does WGT seem to think the correct way to handle cheaters is to keep said handling a secret from the people who invest their time and money in making this site possible?  We have a right to know EXACTLY WHEN AND HOW the people that are attempting to cheat us out of our right are being handled.

  As a follow up, why are players that cheat allowed to keep playing here?

  Question:  Wouldn't it be appropriate for the players who finished 4-6 in the lower tiers of the Congressional Championships to sue WGT for the rewards that they rightfully won that WGT's tolerance and even encouragment of cheaters denied them?  WGT owes the next 3 (legit) players gift cards in the lower tiers.

  this is what I get
  
  

  "You Must be 18 years or older to play in Tournaments WGT.

  Your date of birth has been stored and when to turn 18 you may be eligible you to play in tournaments"

  +1

  At this point, WGT should do a golf course blitz around the world and sow-up all the HD courses they can. It will be a one of kind golf game.

  Couldn't.... Agree... More. No reason this site should act as 'enabler' to all of those that game the (ridiculously flawed) system and cheat the honest players. Name and shame. I'd love to hear the 'logic' or 'reasoning' as to why this is not the way it is handled. (breath not held)
