JD,
Thank you for your gracious apology. I accept.
Being Captain of a World Cup team is a pretty thankless task, and having to apologize for another person's behaviour surely shows that you are the bigger man in this situation.
I did not want to eloborate too much, but maybe this will better another players experience.
This was a gut wrenching exercise to get the game organised. Giving your opponent a 2 hour early morning time span to play your game, and not willing to play it any other time (after 1pm his time), due to him riding his bike and visiting friends everyday, is not the way to go if your going to take part in a global event like this.
To make matters worse, I was stood up twice. First time he claimed that the actual GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), changes twice a year when London resets their time, and then writing me an essay on how I was supposedly late (I was 50 min early, but his lunch was getting cold after 7 min of waiting.)
Second time we set a specific time. At this point its 3 pages of organising, and I say to him how about you get up 5am your time (as he is supposedly a morning person), and Ill stay up till midnight to accomodate you. He not only accepts this, but rather makes it a hour earlier.
He then pitches up an hour and a half late, with me having to stare at the screen at that ungodly hour, waiting for him. His first post is not an apology "Sorry Im late", just "mornin". He then plays 9 holes, hits his ball in the brush (Didnt even know Olympic had brush) and then quits, as it was his last RZN ball. I even suggested to him we could retake the match after a few minutes, but he declined. After all that writing and waiting to get half a game at 1.30am, is ridiculous.
It was not a very pleasant experience to organise or play this match with him.This is also not the first time he has made it very difficult to organise a match against him, and as a matter of fact I was warned beforehand by my CC mates that I was in for a rough time.
I honestly hope for other players sake he does not get allowed back in this compeition, and as a matter of fact in any Inter CC match.
Again thank you for explaining the situation and apologising. It is appreciated.
Nico
