New Stroke Play Lobby and Disconnect %

  Match Play: Opponent quit => You win => Game completed
  Alt shot:: Opponent quit => You win => Game completed
  Stroke:  Opponent quit => You can continue the game => Game completed

  So concept is right, but unfortunately WGT fail in so many ways of implementing it.

  
  

  alosso:

  Once again:

  It's not the "quitters count" or the "disconnect penalty", it's designed to show how many of the last 30 games you completed, regardless of responsibility or guilt.

  Your opponent quits (you may win the match): %% descends.

  Your partner quits: %% descends.

  Your internet connection breaks: %% descends.

  Flash aborts your game: %% descends.

  Advert aborts your game: %% descends.

  Skins game error: %% descends.

  Blitz game error: %% descends.

  Strokeplay game error due to quitting companions: %% descends.

  Game abort due to inactivity while duely waiting 5 mins: %% descends.

  IMHO it's alarming that 5 out of 9 reasons shown here (without knowing the frequence) are exclusively WGT responsibility.

  Hello mate, your dead right, it happened to me last night. This morning I have never played a game and my % as dropped from 93 to 87 due to  there is a problem with this game.  Actually my % should be 100 because I am a person that does not quit regardless of the square, and I reported this last night on the forum of Bugs

  You are all forgetting the underlying problem with this WGT initiative to identify Quitters, and that is for it to work, WGT have to first sort out the problem they have with the game. The only reason my percentage is below 100% is down to connection error messages, and its not MY connection that,s at fault, rather that WGT have server problems which they have still not rectified, in the ten months I have been playing.They should concentrate on the real problems with the game, sandbaggers, women of disreputable reputation using the game to tout for business and last but by no means least, a ball in the weeds is not a lost ball, just a WGT excuse to get more credits. Don,t they know how many pensioners on limited funds play this game, or do they even care

  Agree to the fails.

  Alas, a concept that marks (if not punishes) 2, 3 or 4 when 1 is "guilty" thus bearing more collateral damage than deserved hits, can't be named right. I expanded this elsewhere.

  Yeah i like the % , but i do feel for the players dropping % from quitters , and the worst thing is if your % drops to low , how on earth are you going to get it back up if no one will play with you , it is a good thing to know the quitters , but what about the honest bloke that happens to get shafted by quitters and all of a sudden he can't get a game  !     ( How can he then improve his % )

  dflop !
