    Considering  That rule was not in place from the start I would have to decline . Why should me and my partner have to adhere to this rule when we were and have been available to play.

    This is a work in progress if you haven't figured that out yet.  Now you can either get on board or stand on your principles and watch from the sidelines. Cut Ranger some slack, this is a massive undertaking and is going to require some flexibility on the part of the entrants while the bugs get worked out.

    By all means, offer up a better solution if you have one.

    Is 9am to 12am  3 hours? Or is it 9am to 12pm? Thats 15.  Lets take a breath and perhaps try again lads. Getting timezones sorted can sometimes be the biggest hurdle with this stuff.  I have faith we can sort this out. :-)

     

    Actually 12am is considered midnight, well maybe 12:01,    pm is 12 noon, I believe

     

    Cheers

    I wasnt taking a shot at Ranger YJ so chill ....All I am saying is I agreed to a match play style event If i wanted to shoot a solo round I can do that all day without this event. 

     

    Better solution would be if one person cant seem to be free to play due to whatever constraints they have then it should be a 1 on 1 against his partner instead . But people should not volunteer or sign up to play if their window of playing time and their time zone has so many restrictions. I signed up because Im ready and flexible pretty much for any time and I would inconvenience myself a little if I had to . I mean come on how long does 1 alt shot take 30 mins?? 

    Like I said if i dont get the forfeit or my opponents cant figure out what time they can play (been trying for over 10 days now to agree) then it is what it is. I wont be on the sidelines because I will find my fun elsewhere . 

    I know its hard to do events like this and nobody can foresee problems. But this scheduling time zone thingy is a problem in all events and should have been considered beforehand. Chalk that up to experience and move on I suppose.  I am just not one for playing a game that has rules made up along the way . Letting people find replacement partners on the fly too ?? That dont work .

    Peace and Good Luck .

    That's not a bad idea. There would have to be some kind of restriction on the number of times you could do that so it doesn't get abused but I think it would open the door to some serious griping.

    I found this on the net:

    Compare Time Zones

    Put in your city and under is another box to put their city in and then there is a compare time button, hit that.

     

    Cheers hope this helps

We both were flexible. Its not our fault one guy has to be catered to . If thats what our opponent does the they can have the win .I was here to play alt shot not a boring single play round solo that makes no sense and takes the fun out of it for me .

    I agree that ALT would be more fun than single-play, but I do not agree that you have been more available to play than my guys -- that's pretty subjective.  I see my Bangkok guy saying "9 a.m. GMT to 12 a.m. GMT" (twice) in the messages you posted.   That's a 15- hour span.  Sounds flexible to me.

     

    you have no clue sorry but I have a long list of messages and me trying to get at them. How would you know when I am on or not ?? lol ...Whatever like i said not a big deal . Your guys ?? You own them ?? Come on man be subjective when taking a poke and have your facts.

    looking at all your profile pages,all four of you have played today already,i think what franz means is 9am to 12 midday a 3 hour window which would be no good for any of you from across the pond unless you got up early depending on your time zone to play is that possible?.

    other than that weekends should be good unless he is working have you asked the question?.

    what does his partner say surely he can influence him to play a bit later in the day,it is hard but can be done.

    Hey Paul this is paul +1

     

    Yes I have been trying to get a round about time as well as specific time. I had no issues with getting Eggitty on board since he is CST but even he sounded discouraged about his partner offering to find a new partner just so we can get this in. Yes I am pretty sure it was a typ on his behalf and that the window of time is 3 hrs not 15 hrs and like I said i have seen him green very very few times like once in more than 10 days. I am always available just not at 3 to 6 am in the morning EST My partner has been ready 2 weekends in a row and so have I and Eggitty . The guy says he is availabe everyday from the hours hes posted and I have been up early in that time frame and guess what he is not available . 

    But Ill  leave it up to the coordinators to this event but I am not playing a solo round to decide anything . I did more than my part already and if we lose because of that fine if we get the forfeit win fine doesnt matter either way to me .I have better things going on in my life. God Bless . check my activity and see when i am available lol all the time...
