WC R4 Robinson vs Brendan rescheduled

Brendan lost this game by forfeit. But after seeing his comments on the game it occured to me that maybe his confusion of the game start time was really my fault.
http://arimaa.com/arimaa/gameroom/comments.cgi?gid=43593
While setting up the PMertens vs chessandgo game to a time they perfered early in the week, I ran the scheduler on Sunday afternoon Nov 26th. Normally I don't run the scheduler until Monday night after the deadline for updating perfered game times. When I ran the scheduler it set game times for all the players even though the players had not entered their perfered game times yet (it used the previous weeks perfered game times). I then ran the scheduler again on Monday night to set the game times for the other players. But it occured to me that maybe Brendan saw the first time and didn't see it again after the second time I ran the scheduler. I sent an email and he confirmed that that is what happened. I also notified Ned (our tournament director) and it was decided to reschedule the Robinson vs Brendan game. After a lot of emailing we have been able to reschedule this game. The games for round 5 will be played next week after this game is settled.
I am sorry for any confusion this may have caused and possibly messed up some peoples weekend plans.

This game has been postponed,
Unfortunately, from what we can infer, the new time for this game was not made known to robinson. And then Brendan made plans Sunday evening. So, this game will be rescheduled. Again!
We are setting up a message relay to robinson through PMertens. Thanx to PMertens for his help! We are trying to schedule the game for Monday. Thank you, everyone, for your patience.

I only reached the voicemail, but woke him up personally this morning 
Robinson will try to access the internet today to give his own statement as well ...
He said he could play friday against Brendan.
I propose scheduling both alternate realities, so no matter who wins we did not lose another week.
(I would be willing to even play alternate realities, but that certainly would be a first for any world-championship  )
Sorry for not being more helpful ...
I am sorry again for not realizing that the game was moved to an earlier time (I simply did not check after I told rob the 2100 CET gametime)

The game between Robinson and Brendan has been scheduled for 11am (Robinson's time).
http://arimaa.com/arimaa/wc/2007/showGames.cgi
If Robinson wins I would like to continue with the round 5 games as previously scheduled. Although if Brendan wins the pairing will change and will require rescheduling also people may not have enough time to enter their predictions. Hope this will work for everyone, if not please post and we will move round 5 to next week even if Robinson wins.
Also I will try to schedule two rounds next weeks or in the following week to try and get the tournament back on schedule.

I'll just add here that we were very careful this time to make sure both players know the correct time of this game.
I would like to alert spectators to watch the game schedule closely and frequently. After Friday's game the remaining tournament games may be scheduled less than a week apart. Be sure to register your predictions!

We haven't used the scheduler this week, so those times are from last week. My game against omar is still a good time for me, but others may not have similar luck.

I agreed with chessandgo to our Sunday time, and I don't think that our pairing changes even if Brendan wins, so I expect that one game at least to go forward.

Actually I just remembered that I have to go over to my cousines for dinner Saturday night and my game is at 8pm Saturday. Toby is it OK if we move the game to Friday but at the same time.

Sorry Omar, I'm busy most of the day on your Friday night (my Saturday day). I think we'd better delay to next week, at least that will give the scheduler a week's worth of chances for overlap.

That's fine. I think we better just delay all the round 5 games to next week rather than trying to do some this week and some the next. The scheduling system is designed to work with one round per week and works fairly smoothly if I don't tinker with it.
