  I wonder if anytime a CC pass was used for any particular round, (non Clash round) the XP's were added to the Clash total?

  Dunno in general, but I remember a remark from the active thread during the clash stating that a round on Bethpage with a pass but outside the clash would have counted.

  I only played in one Clash round, I'd used my free pass on a RG earlier, but never paid attention to how the points were applied after the RG.

  I played an 18 hole Bracket on BPB with a free pass, and got points awarded in the clash.

  So now all AND Courteney in the People's C Club are next in line ?

  It was Pirikas who set par5 up btw ( spies ev where :) )

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

  BUT:- as I keep saying, and others have come to realize.....

  " NO - ONE knew the rules ! "

  Everyone was just trying to get the most points going..by buying passes for whatever they were playing, WITHOUT a forethought of being underhand or deceiving imho.

  #1 :  Think ( more than these 2 clubs named ) members bought passes for EVERY CTTH in a vain hope of finding a glitch ?

  A / No, they bought passes in good faith and thought " well, that was quicker, so.."

  #2 : Would said 2 clubs of MANY,  unmentioned...NAME the damn tourneys as they did ?

  A / NO, They would have kept it under wraps if they had ANY inkling they were 'bending' the rules, surely !?!

  Couldn't play ' Clash' , but I'd've played exactly the same courses in all innocence.

  It was what it was and next time I'm sure it will be better...

  No one knew the rules... huh?  I played the event.  I hit "play club clash" and I played the course that I was taken too.  

   

  Ya gotta learn to think 'out of the box' more...............

  Us too, we must have hit the wrong button.

  Which one 'of the 4 who uses this account for CC purposes' is speaking ?

  Just put ya WGT user name in brackets underneath so we know who is saying what.

  My Opinion, This kind of competition (Clashes) does more damage if you compare the benefits…  Benefist  1 Golden Putter or equipment                                                                                                    2 CC Passes                                                                                                                              3 XP Boost or Speed boost                                                                                         Damage 1 If your CC wins, How the owner select a player without creating controversy or discomfort among all the players who participated, because is only ONE PRIZE                       2 there is Not prize here… Take out the CCpasses and the speed boost because that is what you use when you are tryin' to win The Clash.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    There is only One winner here  W G T !!!    if you add the number of passes that were used in the event and multiply by 37 credits the result will do more than the 400,000 credits the cost of the Golden Putter, i think they sell at lease 2 or 3 of that Magic Putter with their earnings,  the event was a clever way to sell something that can not be bought…                   Regarding the dispute that  finding a bug and applying it's cheating, It is a resounding YES !                                                                                       WGT have to take action on this, their terms of use and rules are targeted at 75% to avoid the deceits of the players…. Wait, doing that means that the Clash was invalid and they have to refund all the credits that we bought in CC passes and speed boost… OK there is a CC Winner and anyone do NO cheating                                                                                                                                                       My Opinion:   Lizmary

  So it seems like anyone who used a pass in any round, had points applied to the Clash totals.

   

  I guess some noticed it and exploited it, others didn't see it, or give a poop;)

  Ladies and Gents...I'll say one thing on this matter, and I know a few other casual and hardcore RG players will attest too.

   

  How do I say this gently?

   

  Well, BigSeanBig was take in...plain and simple.

   

  How do I know this?

   

  Well, I ain't as dumb as I look.

   

  Get off Sean's azz about this (and no, I've never played with him, spoke with him, etc...), many of us involved in the "circuit" of tourney's here at WGT, see many things that are not quite right,,,no idea of what BSB's earnings are, but gonna guess less than mine...and many others...what many of you non credit tourney playing folks don't know, is we who play them casually or hardcore, watch the leader boards all the time.

  My opinion, is Sean was exploited.

   

  And maybe a friend of mine will call a Doctor soon;)

  Nuff said.

   

   

   

  Totally agree with what you said there Mbaggese.The player in question was only out for himself.

  And maybe a friend of mine will call a Doctor soon;)  LOL i know exactly what your saying ;)

  Shudda been rolled out FREE as a test

  This ^^^^

  Since the system was clearly known to be flawed and it was done as a test there should have been no big prize.  Maybe a few thousand credits to the top finishing club to offset the cost of passes.

  I think they had to run it so that a pass was needed to score points, otherwise this bug wouldn't have come to light.

  I get the feeling we're heading for another monster thread here.  I think I'll let the door hit my asss on the way out now.
