I am a fairly new ladder member, and am not really sure about all the complaints, problems, personality conflicts, hassles, and etc., that seem to be happening at present. I came to join the Case Ladder, simply because I found out I could play Pinochle on Wildcards, which was My main Interest. On one of My first forays into the Wildcard Clubhouse, while I was trying to figure out what all I could Do, I ran across awhitedove. She explained that she was an Op, and asked if I needed any help. I thought it strange that the WC needed an OP, until she explained She was an OP for the Case Ladder on Wildcards. That made sense to me, so I asked for and got the info I needed for the Case Site. Currently I have registered Myself on the Gin and Pino Ladders, as they are what hold My interest. I understand for uniformity's sake, that all posted Tourney Start times are EST, and that is not a problem. My normal Problem is that Most of the Gin tourneys have begun at 7pm EST, whick is 6pm CST for me. I normally get home about 10 minutes after the tourney registration closes. Would it be possible for the TD's to Consider the other Time Zones, when they set the tourneys up ?? If you look, I have mostly entered into the Pino Tourneys, simply because they start late enough for me to enter them. As far as the Big Bux Tourney on Friday, How do I qualify for it by entering 3 Tourneys, if none are being run ?? or at least I have not found one posted this week. Perhaps I have looked in the wrong place or at the wrong times? Please do not Mistake this as sarcasm, it isn't, only an interest in playing the card games I like to play, in a fun atmosphere, with People I have come to like. Hopefully an interst will be rekindled, and the storm shall have blown away soon, leaving a pretty rainbow behind. Thank you for your time and efforts.
