i tend to believe that he backed out while the game was searching to match him up.
I just don't know of anyone that knows better that this has happened to.
if not that it's a new bug.
for over a year we've said over and over in every thread that's popped up like this to not backout when it's searching for a match. no matter how long it takes. backing out= 3 bogeys.
every month this comes up. every month it's been said why.
and since just about everyone has admitted that they did this i'm skeptical that this is the one time that they didn't and it still happened. that the game just randomly assigned 3 bogeys on a game that was never started.
next month when you get the other bug that results in bogeys i'll repeat how to avoid that one. or probably someone will gripe about that one also today even tho a workaround has been posted on that a half dozen times or more.
