Not really sure how many times i've typed this but this will be one more.
1) Never back out of a showdown round once you click the play button. You can use a second device to kickstart the round if it's spinning and not loading without a penalty.
2)if someone forfeits to you and you can keep playing then great finish it out.
3) if someone forfeits to you and the retry/cancel screen locks on your screen then NEVER hit cancel. your solution here is to hard close the app and reboot. you will have to make up those three holes. the game will treat them as not being played. but you won't get any bogeys. if you hit cancel you will get the three bogeys.
4) the only risk to actually getting screwed is if someone forfetis or exits out on the teebox before any shots are hit. however this has happened once to me a couple showdowns ago and i was able to continue so that one may have been fixed.
99% of the bogey glitches are due to 1 above. you backed out because you were impatient. never back out .and never hit cancel
Regarding #3, I remember someone saying that contrary to logic, hitting the "retry" is the kiss of death, while hitting "cancel" lets you continue. So I followed that advice on 2 occasions, when this happened, hit cancel and was allowed to finish the round on my own, with the score counting normally both times. Might've been luck though, who knows.
