This where in such countries it's very normal if you arrive hours late. That YOUR habits in YOUR country are different, is perhaps your luck that you didn't get a zero first round. He gets a draw offer against crafty. He takes it. Unlike some nerds he doesn't know that in icc you must type in a console 'draw' then to get it in the game. No need of course. he reports he took the draw. period. Just looking from your own viewpoint is very wrong. He acted very correct. Crafty didn't act correct and the TD didn't act correct either. The only correct decision is writing down 1/2-1/2 and in case of a protest by Hyatt, then let the players meeting decide what happens. Simple as that. Remember my posting from november/december in CCC here, where i wanted to introduce this, to avoid dictatorial wrong decisions? How true it was. Vincent
