Weren't there supposed to be 4 clashes per event?

Why is our total on the leader board 3436?

Adding our earned = 4105 with bonus of 1700 that should be 5805. Probably stupid to think that only ours is messed up, but that would put us way up there.

------------------

I don't think I'll be participating in these very much. Using a pass for only 9 holes with no CDP bonus isn't leveling us up very well. Very inefficient use of $.

Basically, WGT, you have taken something that could have been a really great idea, as well as profitable, and you have tainted it with your ever so present greed. This is the biggest smash and grab of credits/money since the R1 promotion, oh about this time, last year.

Yes people, I do understand this is a business and it needs to be profitable, but this is different than being just profitable.

WGT dangles this incredibly luscious and juicy carrot in front of our eyes(Gold Max Putter) and we start wasting thousands and thousands of ball hits and buying passes like they are going out of style. In return we really get nothing of any value. The winning club gets 1 of these putters to give to one of its 250 members(cuz those are the only clubs that will come in first). The rest of the prizes are passes and some XP. Passes are useless, as you can't save them and accrue free ones. So not like you could hold onto them and use them in the next event and still have your 1 or 2 free passes to be using daily for your club. Nope gotta use those first before you get free ones. Not to mention, who knows when the next one will be.

Why not just have clubs go head to head and give away regular equipment and more of it. Give more people an incentive to compete. Oh and answer me this: What happens when the recipient one of these fancy putters, or the 300 yard all singing all dancing Driver that I am sure is on the way, wins something like a RG or a big tournament or even worse the VUSO. Everyone will be screaming unfair advantage I am sure. Might as well have given away the auto dinger.

Lastly, this was supposed to be fair match-ups. 2 of our match-ups had us pitted against clubs with 250 members. We have 78, that is 3 times as many members. We managed to beat one, but it was the first Club and we were using passes and super passes to see what it was all about. A third match-up was against a club with 3 members, we have 78. That's retarded. Not to mention these go on for 24 hours, so what happens when all your members are sleeping and you get pitted against one of these big clubs and no one is around to play.

Our club got to see what this was all about and WGT showed their true colors. Can't really see our club participating heavily in these. They are geared to the big clubs or clubs that are credit heavy and actually want to waste those credits on 37 credit passes and 100's of ball hits in the lottery like chance that the club will get the Golden EGG. Rotten if you ask me!!

Can't wait to see when the super passes go on sale at 100 credits a pop! LMAO!!

Thanks to everyone who played in our first CC vs CC Event. There are a lot of things we can improve and a big thank you goes to those of you who reported issues with screen shots and helpful information. If you played in a Clash and you did not get credit for the pass, please email us or contact WGTadmin and we will give you some free passes.

Here are just a few notes:

- In the future you will get a lot more notice on when an Event will happen and they will run a bit longer so everyone in every time zone can participate.

- we will work on a way to balance the smaller clubs a bit more, but in reality there are a lot of large clubs who have less active members than smaller clubs and it could be more fair than you think

- We totally screwed up in naming the Event "Club Clash" and confusing the timers. The Event is the overall timer and clashes are subset timers of the Event. The Total points at the end of the Event is what matters and awards the prizes.

- We have a few bugs around using passes and also giving event points when using a pass even when you did not play in the event. We will be fixing these and if you did not get points or had pass issues contact us for some free passes

- The timers and points where not updating correctly if you left the game open and idle, we will look to fix this

- The clash results are very confusing because 100 points are award to the CC with the highest scoring player in a clash and then the Clash winning CC is determined. The Winning CC in the clash is then awarded the +500 bonus win points that are contributed to the event leader board

Sorry for the bugs and thanks for playing

It's a funny new experience and it may stay fun in reasonable conditions (e.g. 12 h+ clashes), balancing company interests with player interests.

Adding to the confusion, the sum of 600 is named "winning bonus". Just sayin'

tlc1961:

How is the winner determined? In the screenshot below, my CC scored 146 to opposing CC's score of 101, but they were credited with the win. Bug maybe???

The reason the other Club won is because the top scorer received an extra 100 points since they were the highest-scoring player. These points are added to the total before he winner of a Clash is decided.

I thought that the two clubs matched against each other in a clash were supposed to play the same course? If that is true, why is East Coast now playing Kiawah back 9 and Augusta National CC is playing Best of Putting? Consequently, their scores are outrageously high, almost impossible when you look at them. They have three guys that individually for this clash only have over 600 points. Fair? NOT!
