Consecutive days played error

  Haven't missed a day since the the first of the year and yesterday didn't receive any CDP points. Played this evening and was awarded points for 2 consecutive days played??? I understand the time differential and being in EST zone should see an award after 7 pm local. Please look into this.

  Consecutive Days Played is factored on Coordinated Universal Time, not on your local time zone.  So its possible to play on consecutive calendar days and not fall within the UTC 24 hour clock.

  If you were to play after 7pm on a Monday and before 7pm on a Tuesday you would have played on consecutive calendar days but only once in your UTC window of 7pm to7pm.

  this is not uncommon, i play everyday at the same time.  Get home from work at 4pm and play atleast 4 games every night, on the weekends i will play from morning until bed.  After roughly playing about 90 consecutive days, i played my normal 4 games that night and to my surprise i did not get my days played.  Since then i am back up to about 40 days.  To some this may seem like its no big deal, but i am currently at level 78, so those few days of not getting my 880 points could be the difference between having my new driver and not having it yet

  Example of how you can play on consecutive calendar days yet not earn your 880 Consecutive Day Points...also restarting the 6 day buildup clock:

  Pacific Time Zone:

  Jan 1: Round completed before 4:00PM (or before the UTC 24 hour clock ends)
  Jan 2: Round completed after 4:00PM (or after the UTC 24 hour clock starts)
  
  Assuming no other rounds were completed in between those times, the Consecutive Day Points earned is zero (0).

  I understand what you guys are saying but like uoducks I play at pretty much the same time daily; early in the am before work and in the pm after work. So I'm not certain the case you are making is applicable. Not a huge deal, just frustrating. Thanks for the input.

  EDIT:

  I understand what both of you are saying.  My point is, and I believe this applies to many that have this problem, and if we want to insure we get our consecutive days credit, is to insure we "COMPLETE" a round or CTTH competition within the specified period.  We can play until our fingers bleed, but it won't amount to a hill of beans if we don't finish. 

  By all means, be sure to contact WGT directly if this is not the case.

  I really don't understand why anyone misses a day unless like in my case losing internet access for a few days.because WGT gives you more than 24 hours to get in a round to get the points. When I restarted after getting my internet service reinstated I played my frist round at around 7:30 pm Sunday night, As I work the night shift 7:15 PM until 7:45 Am so I can't play at 7:30 PM during the week. I have found that if I get in a round before 7:30 pm the next day I get the points and my first day off I actually get it twice. And it can be any type of play. CCTH,Blitz,ranked round,practice round,Match play,or Alt.shot.

  A couple of times my consecutive day bonus hasn't come up, then the following day it continues, not sure if I've lost those points or not.
