  Same thing happened to me.  I did not cancel.  It did it all by itself.

  there are at least 30 separate forum posts about this topic. 2-3 new ones every month. Ive already answered one of these on monday or tuesday. 

  suggestion: pay attention to the forums more than just when you have a problem. could have been avoided.

  Hi Ana. No, I was just sitting there waiting for it to find me an opponent. I didn't touch anything til it quit.

  No, it couldn't have. As I stated, I was waiting for an opponent to be found and the search quit on its own. Nothing I would have read on the Forum would have mattered, because it wasn't caused by something I did or by playing up against the deadline - the 2nd round had just gotten underway.

  Suggestion: try again and chill the attitude, or scroll on by.

  Can someone at WGT tell me why, when I went to play my last 3 holes in R2 that the game said the round was over and gave me bogeys on the last 3 holes, when there's still almost 2 days left on the timer?????? 

   

  AnaNikolaj:

  Did you possibly went to play the last three holes and when it took a while to find you an opponent, you aborted the search? Cause that'd cause what happened to you. 

  Tabarnak777:

  It's possible, just wanna say that if you abord the search then use the arrow on top-left screen to come back. DO NOT HIT CANCEL BUTTON.

  puma991:

  That happened to me on the first three, cancelled the search for opponent and then got a bogey for all three holes. 

  puma991:

  Worse for me, on holes 7-9 the game froze with opponent on the tee, he and I chatted for a friggin hour waiting for it to unfreeze which it finally did and said I forfeited those three holes!  Six bogies in the first nine holes without swinging a club. 

  Imahacker58:

  It’s just crap programming by the amateur hour heroes running this game, just another reason to give it away.

  budliteman:

  on my showdown it gave me bogeys on 12  13  14  i had no bogeys at all 

  EZCupps:

  This happened to me too!  I was three under, now I won’t make the cut.

    A lot of different scenarios cause these forfeits . The only way to avoid them is to not play in the event .

    I did decide to play . I wanted to complete 1 ShowDown . I had my ups and downs .

    Had a couple opponents forfeit . The game allowed me to continue .

    One guy forfeited on the 10th hole in the 3rd round . The game scored me with a par when it was a birdee . I had 2 straight birdees the 10th & 11th holes .

    Then an impatient player would not wait through 2

  

  Until I finally got

  

    Which only means that he quit so fast . That my slower computer could not keep up with the program . Even though I did nothing but sit there and watch . It gave me the forfeit . 3 damn bogeys for holes 13 , 14 , 15 in the 3rd round .

   

  

    I doubt I will make the cut with 4 extra strokes added to my score .

    I am just happy to have completed my first full ShowDown . I doubt I will play anymore of these .

  well that's an internet connection problem. probably on your end. What is WGT supposed to program in? 

  it matches you up in a game. your connection sucks and somehow they are supposed to interpret your inability to play as involuntary.

  what's your programming solution to that?

  You jump to conclusions like you're on a pogo stick.

  Not an internet connection problem on MY end. Wasn't an internet connection problem for the 5 matches played right before it either. I've got the bandwidth.

  Done yet?

    Except for this and several hundred other comments on these various scenarios .

  pdb1:

    If you think you have seen it all . You haven't . Just keep playing . More unique errors are assured .

    So you can no longer say that you " didn't see that coming " .

    Secondly .

  Mythanatos:

  well that's an internet connection problem. probably on your end. What is WGT supposed to program in? 

    Not necessarily . I have been paying attention to posts on that matter . And inquiring during the hundreds of rounds that I play .

    There seems to be a consensus that even with the best and fastest and highest internet connections . At times there seems to be a hair trigger connection with the servers that very few are completely immune to .

    So it is no wonder that the many that don't even know they have mediocre or even weak internet connections ( something they would change if they could ) . Will also experience these many different types of of hair trigger disconnects .

    Which everyone knows is not new to PCEA . Was always an issue during the entire lifespan of WGT Flash .

  Mythanatos:

  it matches you up in a game. your connection sucks and somehow they are supposed to interpret your inability to play as involuntary.

    There is no way I or anyone else should cop to that one . As I mentioned above . Even the best connections are at times susceptible to the server rejections .

    Which the responsibility for lays fully on the developers/hosts to solve and provide a playable program .

  Mythanatos:

  what's your programming solution to that?

    Not his , yours , mine , any ones job to find solutions to any of that . It is WGT's job . Period .

  ah but it is a connection problem. Your device and the server stop communicating or at least communicating effectively enough to transmit the data that a game has started.

  and yes there is a work around. but you seem to really think you know everything about this topic so  I'll let you figure it out. good luck.
