Question about averages......

  How does this work out?

  I am a slogger Legend on 62.32, with well over 1000 games at the Legend level.

  By some miracle I manage a 28 (No, not on the Par 3s..lol), but my average only goes down by .01 where I would have expected at least .03.  I believe it is on the 500 best rounds unless it is different now.

  Any ideas, since even a 30 drops my average by .01

  I had a similar instance last week. In my case I shot a 30 when my avg was 62.01 and after it actually went up to 62.02. My next round was a 31 and my average went to 61.98

   

  i put it down to sloppy programming

  Difficulty #1 with these saturated averages is, you must know which score is being eliminated to know how the number drops.

  Any information on that point?

  Difficulty #2 is the big number in the divisor. 1/500 is .002, invisible on the screen.

  Match Play

  How can I view one of my shots again?

  After hitting your shot, while you are on the Scorecard page, click the button that says View Replay and then click the Play button to watch the replay from any camera angle available. You can also save your replays and share them with your friends! 

   

  If you have saved any of your best shots, they will be displayed on your Profile page and can be viewed again from there.

   

  How do I save one of my shots as a replay?

  After watching the replay click the Save button to save your replay. You can save up to 10 shots to watch over and over. Your saved replays can be found on the Replays tab of the Your Profile page.

   

  How can I share my shots with my friends?

  After watching a replay you can click on the Share button, enter your friend's email address and a personal message and click the Send button. Share your best shots with your friends and challenge them to see if they can do any better.

   

  How many shots can I save?

  You can save up to 10 replays.

   

  What is a Green Fee?

  A Green Fee is the amount of credits you need to pay in order to be able to play a round on a specific course.

   

  Is there a Green Fee for all of the courses in WGT?

  No, only courses that are provided by WGT-partner, TruGolf, will have a green fee associated with them.

   

  What is TruGolf?

  TruGolf is the world’s top provider of real-world golf simulation technology. If you’ve ever hit balls in a physical golf simulator, it’s probably been on a TruGolf course. TruGolf is also the core team behind the popular Links PC Golf Game that many of you probably enjoyed in the past, so they know their stuff. WGT has been working closely with TruGolf to integrate the TruGolf and WGT technolgy, so you can play TruGolf courses like you play WGT courses, with the same physics, distances, virtual equipment and scoring.

   

  Will WGT be adding new courses from TruGolf in the future?

  Yes, definitely. Based on feedback from our players we will be adding new courses from TruGolf going forward.

   

  Will I get my Green Fee back if I decide not to play after paying?

  In a single player game, if you pay a Green Fee to play a course but then decided not to play, you will get your Green Fee returned to you as long as you haven't taken a shot yet. In a multi-player game as soon as all of the players have loaded the game and are ready to hit the game is considered started and the fee cannot be returned.

   

  What is a Mulligan?

  A mulligan is a stroke that is replayed from the spot of the previous stroke without penalty.

   

  How can I take a mulligan in WGT?

  Mulligans can only be used in Practice mode as a single player playing on a stroke play course.

   

  Is there a cost to use a mulligan?

  If you use a mulligan during a Practice game, the ball you are using will be degraded by two hits instead of one hit. Mulligan putts will also degrade your ball by two hits.

   

  Is there a limit on the number of mulligans I can use?

  No, there is no limit on the number of mulligans you can use when playing a Practice game.

   

  Please note that your game stats will not be accurate if you use mulligans during your Practice gameef.

   

  What is Match Play?

  Match Play is a game where two players play against each other on a head-to-head basis but rather than counting total strokes (like stroke play), the match consists of winning holes. For example, the score of a match play match game is rendered relationally. For example, if you've won 5 holes and your opponent has won 4, the score is not shown as 5 to 4; rather, it's rendered as 1-up for you, or 1-down for your opponent. If you have won 6 holes and your opponent 3, then you are leading 3-up, and your opponent is trailing 3-down. Match play matches do not have to go the full 9 or 18 holes. They often do, but just as frequently one player will achieve an insurmountable lead and the match will end early. Say you reach a score of 6-up with 5 holes to play - you've clinched the victory, and the match is over. 

   

  Normal play rules will apply. However, if a player has no chance to win the hole, the hole will be awarded to the other player. For example, if Player 1 chips in for a three and Player 2 is putting for a four the hole will end since Player 2 cannot win.

   

  How many players can play in a Match Play game?

  Match Play games are two-player games.

   

  How do I play a Match Play game?

  If you want to create a Match Play game simply click on the CREATE A GAME or MATCH PLAY options from the Main Menu.

   

  If you want to join a Match Play game, select Match Play under the Join Game option.

  ScottHope:

  New score of 28 (doubles up to 56) replaces one score of 62 (nearest whole number from 62.32)

  With all respect Sir, this cannot be true.

  In any (saturated) average of 62.32, there are scores of 62 and lower as well as those of 63 and higher. One of the latter will be replaced by that 28/56, and we don't know if it's 63 or 67 or ??.

  It's all about which number drops out.  But, is the highest number supposed to go......or the oldest?  That would make a difference.

  It's the highest of the 500 best.

  But, but but. My average is really 90, why does it say 66.57. And what the hell is a 28? I get that now for 6 holes.
