Round three should have started today. It hasn't.
Just checking. Someone forgot to flip a switch, perhaps.

I expect we have to wait for someone to sober up.

It should have started automatically, but hasn't. IT support are looking into it.

That is odd, because the round seems to have started the day before yesterday (2 days late). Suggest you email

I did email... still not up
EDIT: emailed PnzGen... should we start up our own game in an effort to finish?

The tournament system is completely automated, so there is no way that the result of such a game could be included.
I will ask the PBEM controller whether he can start your game manually.

Thx! It worked the game is up! Hope PznGen has the time to catch up! .... The joys of manual server cranking!

Now I have a new problem gentlemen, the game is up but obviously my opponent (who had a 0 last round and seems to be away) is away and I am left stranded... what happens? How can I report my opponents absence? Sorry to be so much trouble....

I am told that your opponent should have been removed from the draw after the last round but for some reason the system did not do it. It looks as though he conceded both games in the last round, without playing the minimum number of turns.
As long as you played your turn so that the game is sitting in his in tray, you should get the bye score when the round times out (150 points for the round). Our apologies.

No worries! And for the record I love this new system, and am addicted to FOG2. Well done on the tournament system!
