Re: 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?

  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.
