  Your score will not be posted until your opponent has completed his round.

  Well everyone... nearly 2 1/2 hrs since my first post and nearly 3 1/2 hrs since I have tried to finish my tourney at Olympic.  STILL CAN'T... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  I guess I will try in the morning

  There are 17 hrs left in the tourney to play the 2nd round.   I have 1 hr in the morning before I go to work.  Hopefully I can finish 9 1/2 hrs from now.  If I still encounter the problem... I WILL be requesting a new ball from WGT.... because THIS IS CRAP!!!!!!!!!!

  Won't make it home before time expires in the 2nd round...NOT HAPPY...NO SIR!!

  Real phucking pissed off right now WGT!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Just had to forfeit 5 different bracket games...shut this phucking program down and fix the phucker  or is this all a scam to steal our money and pizz us all off so we quit playing altogether,,,get phucking real and give us all our wasted ball usage  back and fix this phucker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  I can understand - if you save a game or get booted FOR ANY REASON, it appears impossible to get back in. I saved a game last night (final bracket) after 4 holes as I had to go out. Went to resume today and no way back. A waste of ball usage and I too feel a bit scammed. Once again a lack of testing IMO.  I still have a few to play but what is the point if you get booted or have to save a game to resume later.

  A great concept spoiled by third rate programmers  who  do not test  what  they have done.

  Incompetent????        ;)

  Test what they have done? LOL  You must be smoking something over there hey?

  I think they all should get a test. Yup a drug test for sure, because these mothers are not right.

  I be willing to bet they do not drug test. If did probably lose all their employees. Bunch of messed up minds mate. Loss of brain cells.

  Yup i was going to program the game right..... but i got high.

  Yup i was going to fix a bug...... but i got high.

  La da da now the game is all fecked up and i don't know why?  Hey hey because i got high because i got high because i got high.

  LMAO G

  It never ceases to amaze me that these programmers appear to take "incompetence" to new levels.

  Ok so this is a "new bug" but the way they have managed to fix bugs in the past does not exactly inspire me with confidence.

  I am no programmer but like a pilot - run through all your checks BEFORE takeoff, a builder will measure twice THEN cut. These buffoons should be testing their code BEFORE release.

  If it happened only occasionally then I would be forgiving, but every time? Simply not good enough, drug induced or not....where is the quality  control??????

  Hey WGTers,

  If you have any questions about the new bracket tournaments, please check out our FAQ at the link below. If you have more questions after reviewing the information, feel free to contact us at Support or message Icon or Shoe.

  Good luck!

  GOOD LUCK!!!...ha...gonna need more than good luck to complete play in these ingenious new "Bracket Tournaments"...what a F'ING joke!!!...and you can be damn sure I will be contacting Customer Support!!!

  I personally won't be entering any more OR finishing the ones I have entered after my latest unpleasant WGT experience...there is a crap load of problems that have to be "ironed" out before I'll try them again...actually if it was me, I'd be using a sledge hammer not an iron!!!

  Here's my story, for what it's worth...I made it to the 4th round of the #1314 tournament by way of a couple of better 1st and 2nd rounds than my opponents and also a WD by my opponent in the 3rd...or so it was posted...I had no need to play the 3rd at Oakmont...so I was matched up against LEFTY357 for the 4th round at RSG's back 9...tough conditions...Heavy 30mph winds...Champ green speed...okay, fine...battled through to the 18th...I was +2 and making my final 2.8 footer to par and finish with a hard fought 37...not great, but decent enough considering the conditions of play, I figured...THEN...I made my putt...hit the dinger...easy par...BUT NOOOO...a stupid error message box pops up and says the game is no longer active!!!...I had over 10 F'ING HOURS TO GO!!!...FFS!!!!...when I couldn't complete the round after several attempts I had no choice but to forfeit and take a WD!!!...FFS!!!...UNREAL...and then when I view the bracket, it shows me with a WD for the 3rd round at Oakmont!!!...WTF????

  So, LEFTY357 will win the final 4th round by "default", I suppose...absolutely unfair and utterly outrageous, WGT...I guess the only consolation I have is that Lefty and I just happen to be members in the same Country Club...nice "W" Lefty...hahaha!!!

  Like others I've just read on this thread, there is a multitude of REALLY pissed off WGT members who should be, at the very least, re-imbursed a free ball of their choice for such a bunch of f'ing screwed up Bracket games spitting out error messages, etc. so players have to forfeit and WD from their games...that's TOTAL BS!!!

  WGT, you can't pay me or anyone else back the time we've spent playing our games that we should of completed, but YOU CAN GIVE US A FREE BALL instead, to compensate us for the ball usage in the games that we couldn't complete!!!...the bottom line is...THIS IS TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE PROGRAMMING INCOMPETENCE BY THE ENTIRE BUNCH OF YOU AT WGT!!!

  Playing a Grand Final bracket,  with no opponet as both the people in the other side WD'd.

  Shockwave crash after the 1st hole. Restarted game...   Game restarted off the Red Tee's, instead of the Blacks.

  Hit me shot....   Unexpected error.  Restarted again.... same thing, unable to finish game.

  I think the brackets are one of the best new things that has happened for a long time. The only thing is....   There is way too many bugs.

  Looks like we have to wait for the next Maintenance (which should be in a couple of days) so they can fix those bugs.....  maybe

  Did 10 of them.   Finished 7 .. the other 3 in progress.

  Believe it or not I didn't have one issue with game play .... they all started & finished just fine.  

  However on about 1/2 of them I have no clue how I'm doing or who I am paired against.   None of the statistics in the brackets are updated.

  Thanks,
