  LOL - The reason to play in multiplay is to watch your fellow competitors slowly fall away and walk off the course rejected, dejected, disrespected, and disconnected.

  You're absolutely right : we come from different continents, someones have to quit to work, to go to sleep, or for any valuable reason.

  In this case, the most important is to send a warning sign to his partners, and to wait for the end of the current hole, not to quit suddenly : that is a polite attitude, at least.

  If you have to quit to go to work or sleep then why start a match in the first place?

  the only opponet u play against is the course. unless its match play ;-). if u think other wise u are just fooling urself.

  only way to beat someone on a golf course is if u pull out ur 1w and smash'em in the face ;-)

  The important thing is that the server allows you to finish such a forcibly disconnected round later on. And, if it was a ranked round, it should be obligatory for each player to finish each such round, or opt for a penalty instead. (Possibly, if the server could determine that the interruption was induced by the server and not by the player, the obligation to finish / penalty could be automatically forfeited.)

  Not at all. This is the opposite of a dead horse; it's a burning issue that needs to be fixed ASAP, ideally in tonight's eagerly awaited product update.

  Right now, WGT's multi-player is a partly dysfunctional product. Look at the statistics of all of my multi-player games since last Sunday (they represent the typical WGT multi-player customer experience):

  WGT Multi-Player Parody:

  SUCCESS / FAILURE RATE
  for completed multi-player games as launched:
  0 / 9 (0%)

  • Everyone disconnected: 44%
  • All but 1 player disconnected: 44%
  • All but 2 players disconnected: 12%
  • No one disconnected: 0%

  (For details on the failed games, click here.) If you think WGT can be happy with the current multi-player status quo, think again.
