  The forfeiting has become an epidemic lately. How about deleting/subtracting XP Points on those who quit? Could be the best option and not impact a player's real money account. Is anyone with me here on this one?

  No, because you never know why some people quit. It might be a legitimate disconnect where they lose their internet connection. It might me an emergency where they don’t have time to even tell the other player or players  what is happening. Or it might be like the one time I sort of forfeited. After being up for more than 24 hours and trying to get a CC match play round in I fell asleep on hole 14 and slept throug enough time expired to get DQ’ed. Or the person they are playing is such an a@@ they quit rather than put up with the crap he is doing.

  Although I do agree that for some players, there are legitimate reasons for forfeiting a game, I have just played 3 games in which all 3 players seemed to just loose their internet connection on the last hole (on the green) in which they were loosing. I was in the middle of sponsorship games, and got nothing for my troubles. 

  Forfeiting, or loosing internet connection at crucial moments for some players seems to have become a real issue and I am getting mighty fed up with it.

  It's been a problem for quite a while and WGT has not addressed it yet. It looks like they never will. Best thing is to only play against friends and not random players. Or accept that it will happen most of the time.

  Good Luck.

  Connection loss is not WGT's problem. In many games I have lost connection for no reason or power going out & couldn't get back in time. I don't quit even if down my 3 or 4. Sure there are players that hate to lose & just forfeit & bail.

  if you need xp points that bad then finish the game you started. something tells me, those with legit reasons for forfeiting will have zero problems finishing another match. rewarding those for logging in, playing one hole then quitting is ridiculous
