  If I played the holes I could understand. But it didn't even find a player to play. But thanks for pointing out the obvious.

  as stated. every month. every showdown. when yet another person does this.

  If you cancel out of a match while the game is spinning trying to match players,  the game will treat it as a forfeit and give you three bogeys.

  This can also happen if you have a bad connection to the server and you spin and spin for 5-10 minutes then get a saved game doesn't exist message.

  Mythantos is basically right as are others above.  One gets a bogey for each hole one does not finish.  I did that 1st qualifying day this time, but it was my fault since I forgot to play the last 3 holes.

  The spinning problem is real.  Another mess WGT needs to fix.  We can get lucky on a work around, but it is 50-50.

  There are some accidental scenarios, along with some that may be correctable, but there are also some idiots out there that appear to be intentionally causing these glitches or the perpetual spinning.  All of these adversely effect the confidence people have in the showdowns... but it is also why it is possibly hard for wgt to resolve all the ways it is happening.

  I agree with that.  I have felt on a number of occasions opponents were doing it on purpose.  I also ran into that with match play on Flash so it may not be a purely PCEA problem.

  Some players/cheaters just figure out how to get a temporary disconnect and then try wait us out until we get impatient and leave.

  I have no other solution than to hang in there.  Don't try that BS with me.  I will sit too.  That is not perfect.

  But, complaining to WGT and response 36-48 hours later does not solve that problem.
