PLAYING A KNOCKOUT GAME
If you want to play another member of a knockout and want the score to be automatically uploaded at the end of the game so that the ladder table is updated you should make a proposal in the following way. If you set the game up via a standard proposal on the NOTICEBOARD the score will not be uploaded. Please remember scores can only be uploaded from fully Wireplay compliant games
*****
Important: If you intend to be an active player in a knockout tournament it is unlikely that you will be logged on to Wireplay at the same time as your chosen opponent. You will therefore need to take advantage of the facilities that Wireplay has to book games in advance. If you are challenging you can try to book a game a few days ahead to give your opponent time to see it and let you know through locker room messaging whether he can make your suggested time. You should also regularly check the MY DIARY screen to see whether anyone is trying to book a game with you.
