FIrst, Titus is outside of Paris and is without Internet Access !
(They have an e-mail address but the www.titusgames.com is in the US
as far as I can tell)

As far as I understood there was some communication problems with
the local organizer and the ICCA for putting the information on the
Internet. Before the tournament, Titus thought to take care of that by
themselves
but ICCA found another people to do it, so Titus did not care about it.

So after, each round, Eric Caen of Titus were sending the games to the
US.

This should have been arranged before, of course.

France can be OK for next year, Titus is having experience by now and
can arrange to make it far better.
