Embrace the chilly weather by playing in CC Event #13, and contributing to your club's XP this weekend.

Go to Country Club Page

CC Events allow WGT Country Clubs to compete against each other for bragging rights and special in-game rewards. The club that earns the most points from their Clashes wins!

Each Event is made up of Club Clashes that last for a limited amount of time (usually a few hours). When your club enters the event, you'll get matched with another club close to your skill level, and a timer will show how much time is left in that Clash. Club members from both clubs can play as many rounds as they want during that time, using Club Passes and Superpasses to earn points.

We will be available to help those who contact us promptly. Remember - any WGT player who enters has a chance to win one of the prizes!

Happy Squatching & Good Luck to All!

WGT players must post a screencap in the master thread that has both their WGT avatar & B.B. Squatch in the same screenshot. Posts must be published before 12:01 PM Sunday PST. Multiple entries are welcome and will be encouraged. Any entries showing manipulation of the image (aka any photoshopping) will be discarded.

Need help?

Yancy & assorted members of WGTAACC on duty to watch the forum thread for the entire event.

WGTers OpyEuclid & DocMoose are the lead WGTAACC contacts, and they will help all who need it, answer any questions, and inject some humor if the thread starts to lose any of its momentum.

Those WGTers needing some "extra help" can save a replay of their SquatchCap - and Team Yancy will create their entry image for them if needed.
