    Have you tried going to friends then find friends , as there are suggestions of friends based on players you have recently played , is he/she there ? 
    sometimes a o is used instead of a 0 , or vice versa , or an l instead of an 1 . Some people make it difficult to find them ! Lol

    I do believe that you can do a 'fuzzy' search with Google. Just type what you are looking for into Google's search box followed by a tilde '~' character. To limit the search to this site for example, follow that with site:wgt.com.

    So if you want to search for cheese or similar words, type this in to Google...

    cheese~ site:wgt.com

    ...good luck.

    Sorry, I don't think that works.

    Updating,tried your sugestion Scott,still no match found. So i think i should clarify. First i tried all the different permutations of the players name. Second,i tried a fuzzy search also. My question isn't how to find this player,but how is it that i played someone who apparently doesn't exist,in the wgt rolls?

    Ok, final update. Finally found player thx to Bossbirds suggestion about the search friends feature(which i didn't know existed). I had to go in and out of the feature many times until the player name came up. The hang up was a very slight spelling error. Thx to Boss and Scott for helping. My mind is at peace now lol.

    @Fist2k8

    I don't play the coin rooms but did a quick search and found this post by WGTChampion:

    https://www.wgt.com/forums/p/531116/3605103.aspx#3605103

    "If you select the information (i) icon on a coin room before entering it will show you which tees you'll be using before entering. This will either say Tier or Hard. 

    Tier tees means that you're going to play from the tees assigned to your tier, and Hard means that each player will play from the same tee."

    When I looked at the information for Casablanca coin room, it indicates "Hard." That would explain why you were both playing from the same tees.

    Casablanca is also home to the Veteran Showdown. Believe me when I say I hate playing there, but we are sometimes forced to rob newbies of coinage that I don't want or need. It really isn't fair, but WGT forces our hands. Until they change the format be aware if Showdown tourneys are in progress.
