  why not have a free and a paid option (i.ePoker Stars.net and Poker Stars.com)

  I for one an getting tired of people quitting on the 8th hole so they won't post a bad score.Maybe if they had a small entry fee (10 credits) they would stick around.

  I have a couple of questions I hope you can answer. I am also in the Tiger Woods online beta. It's pretty good, but I think I like WGT better. How long has WGT been in beta? How long until the game launches? And How much will it cost to play this game when it does launch? I haven't been able to find the answer to these questions yet anywhere on the site. Thankyou

  WGT is FINE just the way it is

  I agree, in this regard. No further segregation of players is needed here on WGT.com. The separation into the 4 tiers causes enough bad blood, sometimes.

  Since October 2008 in open Beta. The game was internally launched some time in 2007, I think.

  Carmisa:

  How long until the game launches?

  I think the game has already launched.    I find it sufficiently playable & enjoyable even at this (imperfect) stage. And I was a happy Gmail user for many years while it was still officially in "Beta"... That Beta putting all competition to shame.

  Carmisa:

  And How much will it cost to play this game when it does launch?

  Nothing. WGT have confirmed this game will always be free to play with basic equipment.

  I think anyone that quits, rather than a game malfunction, should have their score figured into their average. But how do you distinguish a quitter form one that has a computer malfunction? I was in a 4some last week and had to shut down due to a lightning storm coming in. Should I be penalized? Nope. So, no way to determine quitters from legitimate problems. We just have to live with 'em.
