  Hi.

  2 player, 9 hole skins match ....

  After 5 holes, I have 5 skins, my opponent has 0.Yet the game continues?

  Game over, right?

  No. You're thinking of Match Play where as soon as you win the most number of holes you win. Skins is different because you are playing for 9 skins, 1 for each hole. The winner is the one with the most skins at the end.

  Actually a 3 player game went without a hitch yesterday. We went 18 without a snag.

  A nice thing about the format is as soon as the hole is tied, it ends. The others don't have to putt out.

  I did a four player skins game last night, no problems at all. When I tried to join a random match on St. A, kept getting a blue screen. It's new so it will take a little time to sort out the glitches, when that is done they will bring out the betting version, IMHO.

  Doesn't work for me either :-( 

  Loads and then freezes on the blue screen.

  It seems like non-US players are having the most trouble getting the skins going. There are a few UK players that have played OK but most of the complaints seem to come from non-US countries. IDK if this has anything to do with the trouble but it is curious.

     It works well in Canada. No hitches.

     Also wondering if the last hole is carried over the game ends without a skin being awarded. When credits are available, will that change, or will WGT take the credits for that skin?

  Remaining skins are divided amongst the players and returned to them.
