Bracket Fraud Or Glitch ???

  True:

  You scored a 30 at STA in Bracket #244657, beating your opponent in the final, but your score was only registered in your score history but not in the bracket.

  That is why no scores were shown as long as the comp was on, and you were treated as the loser (or a WD?) concerning the prizes. Only peculiarity is that there's no "WD" shown in the bracket.

  Cost you 288 cr and makes us wonder how many more "money" errors are hidden in the game.

  The only explanation I can come up with is that the score was posted after the bracket had ended.  Knowing you and your attention to detail I really doubt that is the case, but it is a possible explanation.  I watched the video and will have it looked at first thing tomorrow by our QA team.  Once I hear anything I will let you know.

  Shoe...you have come through for me and many others...you are a solid guy.

  ...But the wgt "QA team"?...you may actually have trouble finding them to look at the video...they have an important dinner date with the Sasquatch. They plan on getting there by riding atop Unicorns, where Leprechauns and a Mermaid are booked as entertainment.

  ps...the menu du jour has yet to be published.

  So basically WGT Golf is no more honest than Full Tilt Poker...you can never trust anything in the virtual world...OH...except for the WGT golfers with sexy avatar pics...they are definitely real and they definitely aren't guys pretending to be women so men gift them gear and balls.

  The only way these things will ever get fixed is...... I have no idea.  Thanks for bringing it up; can't wait to see WGT's response.

  Haven't had it happen to me but I'd think the round ends when the bracket time ends ?

  He may be on to something.   :)

  Now,a good question that follows:  Computer 'fart' or intentional scam?

  'Follow the money' is a famous quote I recall.

  If it was a scam none of the players would have earned credits for their placement. There is a clearly an issue here, but the bracket still awarded the players for their placement even if those placements appear to be incorrect.

  I was thinking that same question.  

  Not sure about brackets, but if the time ends with all other comps, then your round is null and void.  I think there is a message that comes out on the last hole saying Time expired or something like that
