Days Played Issue

  I like to play with other people, and love to play alternate shot, and rarely skins. I play late in the evening well after the initial "start hour of 8:00 PM before heading off for work.  I faithfully use my pass but have only got the minimum XP credits for the shots that I take.  Days stay consistently at one day played.  I did not realize that WGT had changed their bonus XP procedures and policies unannounced. I have not received bonus xp since 30 August (14,960 total).

  Played a 9 hole monthly tournament and did not receive my 880 pt. bonus.Consecutive days played did update correctly. This has been going on for a few days now.

  Thanks!

  Thanks for you replies. Unfortunately, no new insight from your reports.

  I can only repeat what I think the new conditions are:

  - Start the game for CDP bonus after midnight GMT (=UTC).

  - Play solo strokeplay, maybe MPs like blitz, but not A/S (unless you invite to the game).

  - One shot is enough to get the CDP count and bonus.

  I chose strokeplay, then click PLAY (accepting the default of ranked game and random course), use a free CC pass, take a tee shot and decide whether to continue or to quit it.

  Selecting a one hole practice game would bring easy 40+ XPs more if I finish the hole, but why waste so many clicks and ball life - I don't need XPs.

  You're welcome, Don!

  Beware that this is only my conclusions from players' reports, WGT publications and own observations, some guessing included.

   

  While it's certainly a big PLUS that passes provide CDP bonus more safely, there may be some new limitations in these rules.

  - A/S now provides CDP only to one player, so some regular meetings to play and chat and gain the bonus and extra MP boni are void AFAIK. Can't imagine that it was planned this way => another glitch?

  - There were positive reports about Blitz, but I dunno how MP strokeplay  acts.
  This, too, was used by some groups to maximize the CC XPs with one pass.
  Clouds around Matchplay and Skins, too.

  So, MP games options have been reduced, and a new glitch happens to be introduced. Business as usual :(

  What exactly are you doing, and when?

  You'll have to look for an update - we are not your eyes!

  I might have something for you ;-)

  Here's a funny glitch. Noticed it some 10 days ago, but too lazy to report it. It actually pays to quit after the tee shot. Not sure why, but you actually get 1013 XP points for the 1st shot. (1 for the shot and 1012 for who knows what. But (and here's the funny part), 88 points are taken away with the 2nd shot.

  I only play tourney rounds, so I'm not sure if this goes for the single hole option as well. But those, who use the single hole option for their CDP, should start an unlimited tourney round and quit after the 1st shot. Around 90 extra points in it ;-)

  I noticed it, too...

  But then I noticed that the advantage would be taken away when leaving the game. That is, 960 XPs after the first shot, but only 920 (approx. numbers) after quitting with bonus from a L11 CC.

  Sorry, didn't mean to bother you.
