    I don't know a thing about the modified stableford system but would a simple remedy be to allow players to participate with the option of using a CC pass or Super Pass to increase points.

    Example:

    No Pass - Bogey or less = 0, Par = 1, Birdie = 2, Eagle = 3

    CC Pass - Bogey = 1, Par = 2, Birdie = 4, Eagle = 6

    Super Pass - Bogey = 2, Par = 4, Birdie = 8, Eagle = 12

    Still enough incentive to players for WGT to make an absolute mint and more players would happily participate.

    Well you do get these for just entering, which is a nice touch. Free Tee markers & Pin Flags for your country club tournaments.

    A little off topic but, we can see the coders can do new graphics, yet they still fail to add the needed country flags and avatars. Sad day in WGTLand!

    Would have been much nicer if the flags and tee markers used your CC logo rather than that default picture.

    I had to buy a pass for the 37 credits and then played  my round. Then score card is showing 0 points for this clash contest.

    Any help here or is there anything we can do?

    Here is the score card and also my profile history shows i purchased a pass.

    this is rubbish.....cant imagine buying and using 2 passes for 74 credits and shooting 28 and 27 on st andrews gets you only  70 points...while people shooting craps gets 130 points just because they buy more passes and play more games...

    this is where i end my cc vs cc clash ....no more for me....its a silly quest

    Exactly why I haven't even bothered.  If I do 1 round and someone does 10 I won't even put a dent in the points someone can do in 10 rounds.  I'd rather just play for credits and not fall for the WGT trap of burning through balls playing for free.

    Usually after a night of reflection, I find my initial reaction to be over the top.  Not here though, still as annoyed.

    WGT tease us with "This new feature is coming in, one that you've all been crying out for for ages" but then they enter the process with "How can we squeeze as much money out of them as possible?" and leave "What would give the best user experience" way down the list.

    They aren't stupid, and are a business after all but after cocking up the initial CC upgrade with unrealistic levelling and a Bank feature that's been 'coming soon' since it appeared, they then expect us to be overjoyed with this next 'Cash for Clash' debarcle.

    If wgt are still wondering about all this negative feedback let me sum it up for you.  It's not a fair system.

    Regardless of the individual matches(and their win bonus), this is all about the overall leaderboard.  A leaderboard ranked by total points.  Of course the clubs with most members are going to be top of this, as they are on the CC XP Leaderboard.  There are many decent smaller clubs who would have to play 3 or 4 times as much each(and pay for it of course) just to get a look in regardless of how well their round went.  Is that fair?  You can match individual matches a close as you want(although that seems messed up too) but it doesn't change the bigger picture.

    You could have had separate leagues for different member level ranges with prizes for each league winner.  Would have given more a realistic change of winning something and probably got more passes bought.  

    The most annoying thing is that I think you know what we really want but don't care much for it.  You have obviously put a lot of effort into this, time most CCs would have preferred you to sort the bank feature out. or enabled us to change/cancel CC comps. or bring in 8 person bracket. or enable us to pick who enters comps.

    or any of the other many requests that have fallen on deaf ears for a long time.

    But where's the profit in that eh?  None you probably think.  Well keep this up and you might just find not only your CC pass income drop, but also players leaving the game in disgust of your greed.

    Here's a job for you at WGT HQ today.  Go and look at how many times the WK 41 CLOSEST-TO-THE-HOLE CHALLENGE has been played this week compared to the weeks before.  Then figure out why.  That will hopefully change your mindset going forward.

    Hellova shooting James......and all for nought!

    Say what, a bug after a release?????

    Surely not.

    Nothing more to add to what has been said already. A HUGE thumbs down.

    And still no Pony Ms C.

    I have little sympathy for the small club that is made up of elite players.

    Looking at the event's leaderboard is devastating. All CCs are in one big competition!

    Close to the end of clash round 2, the leaders have almost 8,000 points already - we are about 900th.

    Looking at the rewards, there's 1 (in letters: one) "golden" putter, that's about all that counts. If your CC is able to shoot 15,000 - 20,000 points, it may be yours.

    Who needs speed boosts? Not me.

    Pos. 1 - 250 receive some CC passes of questionable value.  You'd have to use them all on day one within 12 hours to avoid that they replace your customary free passes. Due to the greed-distorted 12 hours rule, WGT recollects their generous gifts afterwards.
