Hi T-VEX!!

A-Rad

Maratsafin i can play anytime today so please message me on fourms or in this thread

my msn is lucie0513@hotmail.com

Milos - Dusan.dule.du@hotmail.com 6:7 4:6 6:0 1:6

Awaiting Needham's response.

Venus, please contact me on msn.

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...

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.

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

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.

. . . . to embarrassed about gettin hammered again i guess haha lol. . . . anyway the lag wasn't bad at all hardly went over 100ms ???
