Several days before action gets underway but no real point in waiting I think to try to coordinate so let's go ahead and start to do so!

If everyone who is on Team USA could list their preferences of when they are available to play for the four days, Monday August 6 through Thursday August 9, from 12:00 PM EST to 11:00 PM EST, that would be great. If your preferences are different from one day to the next, naturally clarify that - got to make sure everyone is assigned to a spot where they are able to play on each day.

Once everyone has done so, I'm happy to try to work out the overall schedule so that we have it made with all the time slots allotted accordingly.

I believe Team USA consists of:

GUMMO77
franklee168
empiremaker
hhsilver
ArunSh
friedcheese
5mike5
deadphish
AutoDonk
cabo
JAKEPEAVY21
oiler

So please speak up at your earliest convenience so we can get it all sorted out!

[5mike5]

earlier the better for me all 4 day days..

so I would like noon, 1pm, or 2pm if possible

It doesnt have to be the same time everyday, or it can be... whatever is easiest for everybody

[Auto Donk]

let's see how it pans out; im pretty damn flexible.... but need to check on a few things, courtwise, in the morning.....

may have to do after five on those days.... if no court, I can cover any gaps/hard spots to fill

[fried cheese]

i can do times not between 7-10 pm est

[GUMMO77]

I'd like to take the noon slot throughout the tournament, unless someone needs it.

[franklee168]

Last slot for me please. 11:00pm eastern.

[Cabo]

I can do 6:00 - 11:00
My preference would be 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6

[JAKEPEAVY21]

earlier the better

[hhsilver]

Mon-Tues can't do early or late : would like 6 or 7

Wed - Thurs would prefer 12 or 1

[EmpireMaker]

I should be available between 4 and 11 all 4 days.

[5mike5]

deadphish and oiler only guys left to check in

Getting fired up. Looking over this roster im def the greenhorn First time playing this promo so obviously havent played this final format before, so anything i need to know from you vets im listening

[ArunSh]

deadphish and oiler only guys left to check in

Getting fired up. First time playing this promo so obviously havent played this final format before, so anything i need to know from you vets Im all ears

I PM'd both of them same time I PM'd all of you so hopefully they do so soon so that I can finalize the schedule.

Not sure I have any great advice, I haven't been terribly successful myself in World Cup before. But you obviously have the necessary poker skills - just keep on applying them and do your best, all we can ask!

[EmpireMaker]

It's just like the final 4 in a tournament or a 4 handed sit and go. Winner of each time slot gets 2 points, 2nd place gets 1 point for their team.

[Auto Donk]

I'll take the 8 pm if no one else has to have it

[5mike5]

Any word yet?

[ArunSh]

I PM'd both of those two again to respond - but no answer.

[Auto Donk]

arun, not sure if you can still edit post no. 1 or not, but you may want to go ahead and take a crack at slotting players based on what you have, so we can get a look at what we're dealing with, and see if it flies with everyone or not.

each day, each time slot and name should do

Have already semi-done that, but problem is with two people being completely radio silent so far - what do I do with them? Just assign them randomly with no regard to what their preferences might be? Doesn't seem to be much point as assuming they do speak up, likely will have to redo it all.

Both have been active (logged in) today so wish they'd speak up, not sure why they aren't doing so unless they don't check their PMs. But this is holding everyone else up...

[EmpireMaker]

so Oiler and Deadphish need to check in

[JAKEPEAVY21]

oiler is usually at the omaha tables on the weekends...

deadphish? hopefully he responds sooner than later..

[5mike5]

Well this is frustrating

[ArunSh]

Well this is frustrating

Indeed. Don't really see what we can do though - as I said, I PM'd them both twice, don't see what else can be done. Will post the schedule as soon as I hear from them.

Assuming I don't hear from one or both of them, will post best speculative thing I have on Sunday - really don't see another option...

If some of you want to PM them also, maybe more chance they notice? Again, what else can be done... Both of them don't exactly post often so not sure what else they'd see. Perhaps we can ask SBR to email them if that's possible?

[5mike5]

No nothing else u can do Arnush

Hopefully they come and give us times this evening

[JAKEPEAVY21]

we still have a few days. I believe both will chime in before Sunday night.

no need to panic...yet...

[oiler]

work from 9am-6p so anything after that ,I would appreciate

[ArunSh]

work from 9am-6p so anything after that ,I would appreciate

Thanks for chiming in! To clarify: that's 9 - 6 EST that you work? So you want 7 - 11 EST preferably? Just making sure!

[oiler]

yes sir

[ArunSh]

Ok, cool. Just need deadphish to chime in, and I should be then able to finalize the schedule. Hopefully he does so soon...

[5mike5]

Sweet we are almost there!

[oiler]
