  Thanks "borntobesting".....for your fantastic words of wisdom here.  But, I have over 18 years of experience how WEBSITEs function....operate and generate profits.  WGT is making "millions of $$$" off of this website....but, that's fine....this is America, they have every right.

  All I was saying......is, I don't care for the way the Tournaments are set up.  WGT should NOT allow a person to START a round IF they can't get get credit for it when they get to the 18th Green.

  "DarSum"............I did NOT wait until "the last minute" to play the first ROUND of the three rounds of the Tournament I was entered in.  We had (2) days of "unlimited" play to post our BEST score over a 2 day period.  I played that 18 hole course several times....trying to get my LOWEST POSSIBLE SCORE....because, the lowest score is what is ultimately posted for that round.

  I played that course many, many times over a 2 day period....including as late as 3:00 am in the morning.  Does THAT sound like "I was waiting until the LAST MINUTE to you???".  I was just trying to squeeze in ONE last round in an effort to LOWER my score......had WGT allowed me to make that FINAL PUTT on Hole #18 (a 2 foot putt).....I would have been able to post a score of 69.......which was lower than the 74 score I had already posted..........this system would be EASY for a talented IT tech to resolve.

  It just crossed my mind that default fonts are there for a purpose, and variations are there for a purpose.  Good thing.  I nearly posted this in 72 point bold.

  Mrkewlohio:

  first off just where is this "clock"?????????

   

  It's just above the Sign up/tee off/play again tab and leaderboard tab in every CC or RG tourney. It states the deadline for completion of your round, not the start of it. When it comes to WGT free and premium tournaments, there's no timer, but a date limit, all tournaments end at 11.59 pm Pacific time on the last day (some issues with that though).

  Mrkewlohio:

  As for someone possible holding it up.....if the game is saved and time passes, the game program can sense this and do an automatic ending. Don't tell me it can not be done, I know better. If a game is going.....then as long as it is an active, current game, the program would be able to sense this and keep going. Anything else said is pure crap, and I dare anyone......ANYONE......to deny this.

  I think everyone here is intelligent and responsible enough to not hastle IT guys with requests for fixes that aren't broken, plenty of other stuff needs to be fixed. I'm pretty certain most people here CAN tell what time it is.

  The big hand is on two and the little hand is on four.  Works for me.

  Nice attitude!!!  Knowing the DATES & TIMES of the Tounaments is NOT the issue here.  The FACT is........I started that 18 hole round over approx. 1-1/2 hrs. BEFORE the TIME that was listed as the DEADINE (listed as Pacific Time)....so, I was well aware of the TIME.

  But.....when I got on the 18th Green......I believe I was pretty CLOSE to having enough time to COMPLETE that round.  BUT, apparently.......unless you beat the friggin' second hand on the DEADLINE......WGT won't allow you to make that final PUTT. 

  As I stated before.........there's no PRIZE, big TROPHY and this isnt the PGA.....it's computer golf.  My DEADLNE time was I believe 15:10 pm..........really.  Yes, I know International time.....I served 4 yrs. in the U.S. Navy on an aircraft carrier.  I'm wondering WHY the deadline time wasn't 15:03 pm or some ridiculous ODD time.  I just think using MIDNIGHT or NOON (Pacific Time) makes more SENSE to end the various ROUNDS & TOURNAMENTS.

  Wait until THIS happens to you......I have heard it's happened to OTHER members.  This WON'T happen to ME again..................as I choose to NOT play any more Tournaments.......knock yourselves out, guys!

  Hence the name deadline.

  All WGT organized tourneys end at 11.59 pm Pacific. All RG tourneys end 12 hours after they fill up. In your case it was a CC tourney, which must have been created at 15:10 pm (could hardly be 15:10 am ;-) ) and since the time to play the 1st round was 48 hours, the deadline was at 3:10 pm 2 days later. You can't really have a 48 hour tourney that lasts 47 hours and 50 minutes.

  People will start asking for nannies to be sold in the pro shop next.

  Yep, you wouldn't think a country with 2 million people would have that many. Could be just me though. I fully confess to being that for most of my life. Even tried proving my kindergarden teacher wrong (so I've been told) at age 4. So, no offense, it's not personal, it's just my nature. ;-)
