  Something is a bit whacky here. In a 2 player MP game my OP got disconnected. I waited in the lobby for him and he showed up but before the restart, disconnected again. I waited the full 5 minutes the 2nd time and when the wait timed out was declared the winner. I was at 100% at the start. The very next AS game I was at 97%. Played that game and was back up to 100%!!

  LOL.  What     ever...................

  Another question about this is when does the clock stop ticking on completing a game?  I noticed yesterday after the round had finished, it showed the scorecard then before it declared the winner with the final scores and exited to the gameplay page, I exited to accept another invitation and was docked 3%.

  Too, in a 3some yesterday in our cc, the 3 of us decided to quite the game after the first hole to bring in a 4th.  The first two to exit the game lost 3% and the last person wasn't charged 3% but got a message that the game was not completed and the game would not count.

  Lots of little nuances in this feature.

  Funny, I have played four nights in a row, completed all games and began at 97%. I have not moved from the 97% yet, nor have the 3-5 players I play nightly with. It's simply stuck at 97% and won't move.

  You'll have to stack up 30 fault-free games in total to get rid of that one disconnection which is in your history.

  I thought this myself, basically because WGT said it was so, but in my post above you'll note I did see 97% the game after the disconnect but the game after that it was back to 100%. LOL. Only the Shadow knows............

  Maybe this was still in Starter phase. Ev1 apparently had 3 bad games at the back end of the stack for a start, and three good ones would push these out at once. The first real disconnect would lead to 97% and stay for 30 games.

  Hey Piztaker, that first comment you made on the first page was priceless after what the O.P. said. It made me laugh my ass off. Thanks for the laugh man.
