  I've been 'bounced' 5 times in a row on Kiawah back 9 for not finishing in time.  INCLUDING playing a round BEFORE the first bracket was even filled and, therefore, before ANY time limit had been set.  The first couple times, I hadn't really paid attention, so I ate it.  So, tell me, and everyone else, again about the RULES, alosso.

  That's apparently a programming fault, or you may say a rules breach by WGT.
  It has been reported a few times here, but, habitually, the company don't listen or fail to show that they care. Also, there's method in their breaches of their own rules IMHO - better get used to it.

  You might try and submit an in-game report (right click) or save some proof (which is difficult) and send it to CS.

  Edit:

  Furthermore, it's them to code the rules into the game, and no chance for us to break them.

  And, concerning the finish timers, I like the saying,

                 "To wait for the late is to punish the punctual."

   Can't say why stuff like that is happening to you. And I find it really strange when I hear people are having issues with brackets, cause I've played over 500 bracket rounds and never had 1 single glitch. Must be a lucky bugger.

  alosso:

  So you want 90' extra while the others in the Bracket wait for the next round to start? Or is it only 9'? Should they be unsure about the timing just to comfort your laziness?

  Nope. Rules know no compromise. Post your round in time or you are DQed.

  Answers like this are just one of the reasons why I like and respect alosso. Straight forward and cold hard truth, without any sugar coating.

  Thank you!

  Sugar coating has been sold out for some while, but don't overlook my sensitive humour when it comes in white on white. Smiley =>

  It would be amazing to get a clear answer or any answer for that mater from. WGT.

  They don't deal in answers. SOOOO many bugs, to few fixes.
