    I agree with what you said.
    I really hate what the game become. 3 holes format was the part of the game i liked the most (i'm sure many players rarely have enough time to play a 9 holes one).
    I liked a lot the challenge and suspense it bringed to the game... the fact that if you had a bad start, you had a chance to win back the game if you played better at 2nd or Third hole.

    Now it's much too fast and boring. Everything is done in one hole or with the tie break. It's done in 5-6mn... and you spend now too much time looking at video advs... instead of playing.

    That's a pity. It was quite a good game.... before.

    Regardless of the straw man that he is posting from a fake account, I agree with the sentiment. The one hole format is a complete crap shoot in my opinion. One mistake and the match is over, no opportunity to make it up on another hole. A lucky hack can beat a master on one hole, rarely over 3 where the higher skill of the champ will tell. You guys should address the question instead of attacking the questioner, that's a classic misdirection used by lying politicians of all flavours

    First, someone who is violating the rules basically forfeits the right to complain. It's not a matter of "attacking the messenger." It's a matter of pointing out that he should have no expectation of being taken seriously.

    Second, what value is there to us "addressing" the question"? There's nothing any of us can do. Besides, I'd bet a lot of the posters who replied don't even take these coin games seriously, much less compete in them. In other words, we would rather WGT work on other things than this, regardless of how legitimate the issue might be in the eyes of those who play these games.

    Third, and finally, while it is correct that a hack might get lucky on a single hole and defeat a higher-ranked player, in the long run that will take care of itself. To borrow a quote, "The more I practice (i.e. play), the luckier I get."

    By the way, the phrase "lying politicians" is redundant. ;-)

    And therefore it's better for a multi to have the longer format, which is why the fact he's a cheat is relevant. He's also, as far as I can see, not searchable :-)

    Additionally, I just checked on my iPad, and it says it's a 3 hole stroke play event.

    So, either I don't know what to look at  or maybe WGT hasn't rolled out a recent change to the iOS platform.
