I'm posting the times of the matches here: https://sites.google.com/site/atomicchesswc/2017-awc/matches/1-round-1
I'll do this for each round, in case anyone wants to follow them :)
I have already messaged leopard cheetah about our game but have not heard back, though I only wrote to the user earlier today. If they don't respond by the deadline are they out?
@ijnelson137 the usual process will be if an opponent hasn't replied by the end of Wednesday, then you can choose a time without their agreement. Then if they don't show up you win by default.
For individual cases it's best to communicate via pm. I'm not too concerned if people haven't responded yet. The tournament doesn't officially start until tomorrow anyway.
Yeah I know, just wanted to ask some dumb questions XD. After I wrote it I felt a little silly. Thank you though.
No worries, maybe the explanation will help other people wondering about the same thing.
