  Played the MSP, full 18 single play and to be honest l'm not a lover of Olympic, had the best round ever there, 6 straight birdies on the back 9, 18" putt on the last for a -9, then l get told tournament expired.

  What a waste of time, and ball durability, thanks WGT!

  Not so happy swinging!!

  p.s yes l know l should keep a check, still sucks though.

  A solution to this would be: Let the round count as a normal ranked round, so it counts towards your stats, but doesn't count as an entry in the tournament. Can't be that hard to implement.

  Very true, didnt think l'd be anywhere near the leader board, but the -9 would have helped in my ranked rounds and average and would have won me a few 'awards' for Olympic as well

    Seriously...  I did the same thing, tried to squeeze in one more round for the month, like I have done in the past. Got down to the last putt on the last hole and in the middle of my stroke, got the same message.

     Not much makes me mad when it comes to this site, but like the op, I was having one of my better rounds in quite a while and actually feeling pretty good about it. Yes, it's my responsibility to watch the clock and know what time the tournaments end, but to allow me to play 20 minutes with $5 balls and putter/shot pal being used up got me a bit irritated.

     Lesson learned...
