Royale Showdown glitch and forfeiture

  Played in the Royale Showdown today. I was -1 and under the cut after 6 holes. During the 3-6 hole match, the opponent forfeited after two holes. That seemed to go just fine. It tried to reconnect and eventually I was given the win and allowed to continue. On the next round of 6-9 holes, we were tied after one hole. Both were on the green putting and he missed hs birdie and was putting for par. I was laying inside 2' for birdie. The timer went to zero and just sat there.

  After it hit zero it sat there for up to another minute. I tried to look at the scorecard or just load a new screen and nothing. It then said reconnecting but was on the putting screen. Still nothing after what felt like a few more minutes. I shut down and reloaded WGT.

  When it loaded I was sent to the Royale page to find out I was given two bogeys for the two holes I could not complete missing the cut and losing out on 18,000+ coins.

   

  This same scenario happen during the last show down event, but it happened in the finals and gave me 3 bogeys.

  Same scenario happened to me in first round.  Opponent's shot clock ran down to 0 on first green, then nothing was accessible the players just "spinning".  I couldn't access the scorecard or anything else.  Thought connection must've timed out or something and game was frozen (but weird part was the flag was still waving).  I guess I was just luckier or faster to close the app than you - when I reopened the app I was taken back to the game, given a 1st warning for "delay of game", then the rest of the game went on just fine with me by myself and no bogies or other negative crap like a lot of people are experiencing.

  Similar issue.  Was watching opponent and lost connection.  After returning, opponent had hit his approach shot and I was on my second timeout.  Somehow lost about 2 minutes.

  I was playing the current showdown. Did not lose connection. Took 3 holes from me and gave me bogeys.it’s a glitch at their end.

  I hear you buddy. I made the last round, which took a week, and the same thing just happened to me

  I was playing opponent who was -1 on second hole when he let 45 clock expire for 2nd time and was DQ'd. WGT gave him a 0 for that hole and a 0 for the next, putting him at -4.

   

  I wonder if people are getting DQ'd on purpose knowing this error in the system?

  people should not waste their credits on these showdowns. Stick with the RGs instead

  That doesn’t sound like a glitch.

  It sounds like you got matched up but didn’t make it to the tee while still choosing apparel.

  I was playing today, and was 2 under on the last three holes. Then my playing partner stalled the game, and after a couple of minutes reconnecting withour success I closed the game and reconected.

  Looking on the results in the list I could see that I was not registered for the holes, and still lacked three.

  I Thought thts fine, now I plsy the three holesd, and I know the conditions.

  Much to my surprise the conditions had changed. Instead of a tail wind on the par 5 there was a strong headwind so I coud not reach the green. Same on second hole .

  Instead of minus 2 I was plus 1 after two holes.

  Is the case that we all play the same holes, but have different conditions??

  Apparently the chronically amoral folks who run this site have deemed this glitch 'acceptable' as it continues to affect results to a significant degree.

  But it must not be enough. Each of the last 2 showdowns I have been charged a stroke for simply removing the pin. 

  I can't help but wonder how, if at all, this new glitch has affected some well-known players who we know remove & replace the stick on every hole.  Egads!
