are you including "multi-round" tourneys? I mean to say, if I have completed the first round of a multi-round, then I am not allowed to play with a friend until the multi-round has ended? AND/OR, does that also mean even though I have completed my tournament play, (say as in a "Ready-Go") as long as the tournament is still going on - playing with a friend is impossible? If so - that is a BAD THING (in my humble opinion).
Another thing - As I said previously, the message kept changing back and forth and a few times even when we BOTH were "Available" we still couldn't hook up. He told me my "green available dot" was on the whole time, (at least what he saw) and on MY screen his green dot was NEVER on. I just assumed either YOU guys OR HE (his computer) was having a problem.
THANKS for your quick replies and HELP. It is appreciated!
