This was a lot closer than it looks. One game went down right to the last pip, and in another I rolled 55 44 66 in the bear off to take the game.

Thank you for the games.

I'm not sure if the website can be altered, but it was certainly me that came out ahead 4-3 against pepistos in the previous round.

As time is getting short to finish round 1, I have decided to start 2nd round with my next opponent, even I haven't finished my games of round 1. This is only to save time and my potential opponent of round 2 agrees to do so. I also suggested my actual opponent of round 1 to do the same, so even we will be late finishing round 1, at least we try to save time for the next round. I hope everybody will understand.

lordonny forfeited so martso will advance in Round 2

I appreciate his this as he was losing it but his opponent delayed the match so lordonny decided to forfeit to avoid penalty for both players in next round
