to all players,

PLEASE READ THE RULES for this tourney.

Most have no clue what is going on. but players will lose their games, if they
dont meet the rules. its in the responsibility of each player.
there is no mercy, players will get a loss if they dont follow the rules!

link is in forum and at gravon website.

@mercury: its first to get 2 points in k.o. rounds.

Otherwise on Sunday!

Gruß Zwille

Hi Zwille,
Sunday is fine but I will be away most of the day. I will be able to play starting from 18 GMT. Is that ok for you?
Greets, Tim

Hi Tim,

Sunday is ok. After German time that would be 19:00 o'clock?
See you
Greeting Zwille

@ Zwille: Playa1 is talking about 20:00 German/Dutch time.

@ Stratego: Im afraid 1 week is too short for this round. Some days extension would be sensible. You and Master.mind did only have a few days. Others including me might be in problems with time too. Also if we follow strict rules I wonder why Hellas is out of tournament.

hi ruben,

i dont see a prob to play the games within one week. rules were clear before we start.
even me and mastermind have 5 days to play. this should not be a prob.

i know some players who didnt join, because they know they have no time.
if we change rules now, its unfair to them.

ps what do you mean with hellas?

Good games.

@overlord, swordfish:
Guys, you only played one match after which overlord is leading 1-0. You need to play at least one more, the first to reach 2 points qualifies to the next round!

Yes i know...
Swordfish can you play today our game ? After 16:00 gmt?

hi ruben,

i dont want to discuss the rules or the decision of the tourney orga.
but maybe you should think your posting over, if you face two facts:

1. if people spend days of free time to make all possible, its only fair if a player
spend 10 mins to read the rules and 1 min to check the forum from time to time.

2. if you give now space, players from past round can claim that they didnt get it.
in addition players can claim for upcoming rounds, that they need more space. so
we will come in a situation, where different rules apply.
that is no red line, unfair und cannot be handled. what happends if you are late for next round in a live tourney?

It is also a matter of respect to recognize the hard work of organizing a tournament.
