Cobra -- this game has to be played before the 7th. You guys picked the original date weeks ahead of time. I'm not sure if I can scramble a team together before the 7th.

Not sure what to do here...

p.s. Why couldn't you all play without tin on the original date?


And Patcy -- I think that date should be fine.

Keep your calendar open for the 13th, Canada -- will get back to you with details regarding our WC match with Euro2.

its euro 1 :)

Man, I'm getting old....

oops. Sorry, Patcy. :(

OLD! What are you talking about, your still only a kid. =)

Hi Night / Tincat,

As you are both aware I have been canvassing the other Captains to decide what to do if your match isn't played by the 7th.

In many cases the various Captains each wanted different scores to be awarded but as this is a fun game and the aim is to improve international relations, make new friends and improve TFPR site, it has been decided to give you an additional 10 days to play your match.

You have until midnight (GMT on the 15th February 2010) to play your match, if it cannot be played by then, for whatever reason the points will be awarded to Canada (33 points and Warriors 6 points) no-one will be awarded the 5 for the win as no match took place.

This is in Canada's favour because (as many Captains put it):
1) There was no reason to cancel other than TinCats computer problems;
2) The lateness of the cancellation;
3) The lack of a suitable date being requested by the Warriors between cancellation (30Jan10) and today (as HOME team it is the Warriors responsibility to organize the match date and table booking).

To their credit the majority of Captains do not want to penalize the Warriors unfairly (particularly those who were able to play on the original date (NOTE: US1 played Benedutch with only 4 players recently).

The voting was 2 each to all 3 options with some variations, therefore I have taken certain elements from all suggestions are formatted the above response.

Having just checked Canada's team thread I see they are playing Europe on the 13th February, it is requested that Canada respond favorably to all requests for this match (against the Warriors) to be played. The Warriors MUST give Canada AT LEAST 4 days notice to play. I hope everyone concerned believes this s the fairest way to handle this situation, Rules will be formatted (for 2011 World Cup) to include this incident and hopefully avoid future repeat occurrences.

soz night have only just noticed we have an additional 10 days to play our game ..will be on msn later maybe we can come to an arrangement when best suits

I have errands to run this weekend, cobra -- so will be in and out. Could you just suggest a date and time with fair notice in our thread? I really don't know when my team will be available to play without a date suggestion.

Thanks, Night

tazs might be able to play today depending on the time but can play tommorrow for sure

The game will not be played today. We need fair notice to get a team together. But thank you, seashells. Will let you know if a date is arranged and go from there.

Posted in Warriors thread by me:

Please follow Graham's instruction and give us at least 4 days notice, Cobra. We are one team of 10, not 2 teams of 20.

I still do not understand why the original date could not have been played. I am crazy busy this weekend, but please post a suggested date in our thread with fair notice, and I'll see who is available on our team.

Thanks,

Night


Canada -- please let me know who can play on the 13th (see above) against Euro1. Thanks

Who else can play?

Hi Canadians

I posted this in Warriors thread


OK - so we got a further 10 days to play the match which takes us to 9th Feb but I have to give 4 days notice - do I have this right?

You have my msn nightwriter - give me a shout when you online if you can and we'll fix a suitable date.

And before anyone says its my responsiblity to contact Nightwriter - I will nudge Nightwriter on msn if i see her first.

tincat - captain of the Warriors

Are any of these dates suitable? I know I have put Weds 10th Feb which isnt 4 days notice - is just a space at the table. If not able to play that date - do not worry.

Thanks

Cat

Okay, Canada -- need you to respond to this ASAP, please. Can anyone play the Friday or Monday game as Tin suggested above? I need your feedback since they are weekdays.

I can play Monday, but not Friday.

Okay, bugz -- thanks for responding so quickly. How's Monday for everyone then?

Night, none of the proposed times, mid day during week days, are unsuitable for me. Could make Thursday, Friday, Saturday, say 2 am UK time?

Understand, 3mmm. Is there anyone available to play on a weekday? I know most of you work and with the difference in timezones, it may be too early, but please let me know if you can.

Thanks, Night

Just to add: So here we are, left with weekday or Valentine's. Hopefully some of you can play, if not, guess we lose out now.

Canada -- need you to respond to this asap, please....

amodel, Bento, 3mmm, dan, Louann?

i can make Feb 14th , valentine's day, what time?
