Brad, I've sent you an email yesterday morning but didn't get a reply. If you read this, can you play today (sunday)? Please give me a time...I'm at GMT +01:00...

[S.Williamz]

Hi Stuey, could you contact me on msn?

Brad def. Niels 6-0, 6-0, 6-1

Brad beats me clearly: 6-0 6-0 6-1.

Lag was just killing, looked like slowmotion all the time. Is there a max ms a game may have in this tour? It's quite impossible to play your normal game vs USA connections I guess. Personally I don't think this type of games (with a lot of lag/a high ms) improves the fun and fairness of the tour.

Anyway, Brad, good luck in the tourney.

Tomorrow?

Or this evening if you're still awake...

Tomorrow in the afternoon, or in evening? How's that for you?

[q. reese]

Awaiting Needham's response.

This guy did not play best of 5. However, I will let him have the match.

I lost 1-6, 0-6.

Yes. It is not worth getting stressed out over this game with lag concerns. I played Needham93. Same thing. I am not worried about it.

[needham93]
