    Hi all, 

    I'm relatively new to WGT, having signed up last month on the app and then discovering the browser version later on. I played a few rounds online against other people (one time starting my own room with no issues, other times i joined games) and it all seemed absolutely fine.

    I then got my brother to sign up, and we've had quite a lot of 'practice' rounds against each other, because we were sometimes playing 7 holes and for some reason i didnt think we could play ranked together.  Anyway, I thought it would be cool to have an extra player with us maybe two, but it seems near impossible at the moment?!  I create my own room, with 9 hole courses, standard settings, add my brother and then click "Find Best Match".  It has no problem sending out invites, but always targets the same few people who always decline. I click "Search Anyone" and it never even invites anyone. 

    I've tried this numerous times over the past couple of days. I've left it searching for "Anyone" and it usually times out and cancels my room due to inactivity.  We had one person finally join us yesterday, but apart from that it seems impossible. 

    So, what's up with that?  Is there an easier way for two of us to play a round with other people?

    I hear there is a problem that might be with the system which may have to be fixed.

     

    I might try going to -

    http://www.wgt.com/players.aspx

    seeing what players are available (you can use the filter, too, if you want) and type in the name.  

    The option to type in names is at the lobby under 'manual' so you have to create the game to get to the lobby where you fill in the slots.
