  Im sure somebody has already asked this Question but is the new shot clock rules in Match Play games 1st time a Warning,2nd time clock runs to :00 and locks up causing a reset which ends in a disqualification or is it already a DQ after the 2nd time ?

  Yes, if a player times out twice in a multiplayer game they will be disqualified.

  My apologies for silly question, but how do you even play match play. I am kind of a newbie, and tried playing just now for my first time. After taking my shot, there was a timer and a different avatar. I waited until the timer ran out. Then waited a couple minutes more. Nothing was happening, and I couldn't do anything. So I left and tried to go back immediately. It said that I lost because I didn't return in time. What am I doing wrong?

  While I am at it... Where would be the appropriate place to post questions like this, as opposed to an existing thread?

  As a first time poster, your options are limited. Methinks that you can open a thread only in the "Help" section. Until this limitation ceases, it's perfect for you to add to another thread.

  Moderation should stop with about 30 posts, if not, remind the mods kindly in the forum or at their wall.

  Concerning your question, you should explain a bit more please. Do you play on PC or mobile, which kind of match was it, two or more players, were credits at stake?

  Are you sure that it wasn't your timer?

  Keep in mind that some flaws come from the game itself...

  Anyway, try again and have fun!

  Thanks for your answer. I play from a PC. I have been having some wifi issues, and I think I was seeing his timer, but my connection had temporarily been broke. I think it was just a two person match, but hell, I don't always know what I am doing. lol There were no credits at stake. I will try a match another time when I have the time. Thanks again.

  We should have the option to turn the timer off. Alot of play alot of games with club members, and we don't need the shot clock. We think its wrong cause some player have trouble getting back to wgt cause of server not connecting and gets kicked from game, when we are willing to wait for him to reconnect.
