  I don't get it either, I never  never quit and I show up at 97% Does it go against you if you WD from a game?

  The 97% means you are going up in completed games. And yes if by no fault of your own something happens to the game you will see a drop in that percentage. Your partner quits you get screwed.

  yes, this is a poor marker for someone "like myself" that stays the course and attempts to finish all games.  This is not a good idea. Get rid of it.  WGT servers are not always perfect wither when you get thrown from the game. Completely unfair.  I have been a member for 4 plus years.

  Tried to play a multi-play game today and my percentage was at 90%.  This was my first time playing since the new rules and I lost 10%?  What's up with that?

  By the way, never got a chance to play due to all the disconnections, 5 minute waits, and WGT's "Unexpected Error'  screen... finally got disqualified cause WGT says I disconnected 3 times.  Never did that.

  This 'new rule' / improvement.. is a joke, right?  Something to get back at all the 'Quitter' threads and whining posts?

  WGT?  Go back, you've ruined Multi-Play for all.

  Everyone starts at 90%. It's clearly stated by WGT.

  Yes. Furthermore, what's going unmentioned here is the fact that WGT will look at your last 30 games for this %. In WW's case, that 97 won't be 100 until he plays enough games for that disconnect to drop out of the 30, provided he doesn't disconnect again.

  100% is good but getting hosed on a disconnect that wasn't your fault is going to drop it. Somewhere in the 90s is probably going to be the norm. It's the ones under that that you're going to have to eyeball before you play.

  i have been charged with 2 forfeits when i completed games don't know where that comes from. Also this new 5 minute wait for players to reconnect causes problems with completing rounds, screen goes blank, lose game your in, people don't know what's going on, and drop out. This has been rediculous and slowed play a lot.

  well Yankee Jim, I haven't quit a game in the last two days yet my percentage has gone from 97% to 73% because of frozen wgt games ......... so I guess we won't be playing anytime soon lol ...... i wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in these percentages 'till wgt gets its act together
