I suppose we will have to wait for the addict to give us the score!

CD posted the score a few posts above this one

I posted the score (incorrectly) as soon as the match finished - and corrected it after seeing the posts above. Scroll back a little further wink 6-4 0-1 retired.

christ · Challenger qualifying

I knew that.

This whole scores, or no scores, or whatever, is daft - in my not-so-humble opinion biggrin

Everyone does things their own way, that's the point of a forum, as opposed to a bespoke website that has a mandated, uniform format

The only 'rule' is that people shouldn't be rude - to each other, or to the players

As long as that's respected, information is information, opinion is opinion, and everyone chips in with their contribution - it's a melting pot smile

Okay. I won't bother visiting this forum then if I only have to go off somewhere else to see what the score was or what the name of the Chinese lady that x is playing is. I mean what value is there to anybody in posting Harriet is playing an unseeded Chinese lady. You might as well just say Harriet is playing a tennis player for all the value that is.

Someone always posts the full score and details later.

And they don't delay doing that just because someone has posted briefer details first - in fact, probably the opposite

So the briefer details give a snapshot of where we are, and make the forum more up to date, not less

Lots of people post brief details - paulisi quite often does, I do, it's normal - it might not be as detailed as some would like but if paulisi or I post 'X gets the win' or whatever, it's just a quickie, the essentials

I Think so me people need to grow up.
I left this site a few years a go as I received bad reactions for having a different opinion. But I came back as I support our ladies.

FWIW personally I find some value in being made aware just that someone has won or lost. And it has almost always been reliable info such as it, so I can immediately update some of my ranking sheets based on that and / or also check the score or await someone such ss TA or SC to provide more info.

But I would ask Johnny Aitch please to provide further info where you are aware of it rather than unnecessariy leave such an extra bit to such valued members of the forum and / or ask you to communicate as to why you don't / ( can't? ). Providing such info would make you a more valued member of our community and frankly less annoying.

And TA, certainly please don't leave. As far as I can see Johnny's presence and info is 'just' not reducing your workload as it potentially could but isn't really adding to it. So at worst continue doing what you have clearly enjoyed doing over the years rather than leave in haste and then regret it.
