  I just played the kiawah front 9, stroke play...had 3 players....one quit during hole 3....two of us played on. At the end of the game, it showed the quitter as the winner, with a score of 11. Glitch?

  That person continued the game after quitting and thus their score was added.  I've done it only once before; once I realized what happened I haven't done it since (not fair to the other players).

  The message at the end of the stroke play multi player round is a bug and should only be present in match play.

  here is the link to the ladder main page..much better class of players there...no quitters

  as there you are ranked..and if you quit you have to post the loss.

  I'm yet to play a round with more than one other player in which at least one hasn't dropped out...maybe some sort of penalty is in order. At least let it affect their average

  Universal ranking on the main WGT site would sort it im sure. If you quit a game youd lose the match and down you go - Simple!

  Currently there is a bug where the game messages that the player who dropped out wins the match since they have the least amount of stroke.  This message is incorrect and in fact the win for the dropped out player is not recorded and does not affect anyone's stats. Yes, if you drop the stroke play round you lose.

   

  This being said we are also going to implement a solution soon that will enable one to determine which players are the ones who complete rounds.
