The System Works. Leave it Alone.

  Good job WGT! Thumbs Up!

  The new percentage system works fine. I have hit 100 percent like they said would happen and have never gone down since. I have not lost any points from someone else quitting or disconnecting. 

  I also love the fact that if I create a game I can filter out the people that are most likely quitters. The games that I have created with individuals who are at 93 or higher have all competed their respective rounds with me which was the intent of the system.

  Those people on here who insist on crying and whining about the new system are most likely the offenders and are angry that they can't get a game because they get booted from the lobby...........and rightly so!!

  STOP YOUR BLOOD CLOT CRYING!!!!!

  While all the data is still being sorted, I too give a hesitant thumbs up to the new system. So far, it appears to be working as intended and gives us yet another tool whereby to estimate the element of risk in playing with unknowns.

  BS.  I was playing an alternate shot and my partner quit.  I went down 3%.  One of the opponents (a friend) went down 7% and it wasn't even his partner.

  This is complete and utter garbage.  9 out of the last 10 games have glitched out on me, resulting in my percentage going from 97% to 73% through absolutely no fault of my own.  I have not been allowed to continue because I get forfeited.

  And making every player wait 5 minutes if someone d/c's is about the most stupid decision I have ever seen.  I want to find ways to speed up the game, not slow it down.

  The new system sucks and has ruined my principal hobby.  Sanctimonius players like the OP are now starting to cancel games I am trying to enter because they see my false % created by wgt's mistakes and failures.  This will only succeed in driving players like me out of the game, and along with it my wallet.

  as far as MP stroke goes, its no fun sitting in the lobby for 5 minutes waiting for a reconnect, sometimes several times per round.

  getting a negative complete after receiving the message " both players forfeited so this match won't count" makes no sense

  getting a negative complete for a partner quitting/dropping in AS is also not much fun.

   

  I'd opt out of this if it was possible,

  You are correct sir, I do not play match play games as I am more interested in stroke play only. 

  That being said, there may be a problem with how the system deals with match play games but for the STROKE play games it works.

  I have not been on this site very long but I can tell you that I am sick and tired of people quitting and/or disconnecting and losing out on the XP that is available finishing a 4 player stroke game and if this allows me to filter out the deadbeats then it is worth it.

  The  pecentage might work ,, But when you get kicked off on # 8 BPB  with 5 under then to reload and they tell you ,,,,,,,, you  forfeit ,  then  then system   does  not  work .

  New wrinkle: 1 out of 3 players in Stroke MP game quit after one hole; waited 5 minutes to reconnect and in the middle of the reload the Flash Player canceled the game, saying you must tee off within 5 minutes of starting the game. Guhhhhhh...
