Lately i have focused on getting my ass out to play in this 30+ tournament in Hawaii .For the last 2 years i have been chasing this tournament after being invited to play there for this team from Germany .... So 2 years in a row i was invited by this team and both years this so called team dropped out , even this year after i told the organizer that i have friends that will join us .
Gave up on the Germans and went on my own and contacted Hawaii myself , found a team and they had problems with responding . Gave up on them and contacted Tim Dyer . Tim lives in San Diego , played against him in Fussen . Tim has alot of great ideas about making these tournaments easier to organize . Once i established myself onto a team that Tim was organizing then i get an email from the German that was originally organizing a team to go to Hawaii .... he wants to join my team now ????
I said yes , but really hesitantly ( remember this ) .... this guy was supposed to hook up good flights for all the Germans coming , but didn't . He then asks for his brother to join us , i ask Tim and he says the more the merrier . This guy is friends with a friend of mine named Timo , he sends me flight details claiming they are going to be there on this and that date , blah blah blah. I booked my flight this week ( flying business class !) just after Tim had called me from San Diego to keep the ball rolling. Tim wanted to get all my German friends emails to send team emails out .
Well unfortunately this German i will not mention returns the email with the lamest excuse i have ever heard .... personal familiar matters are keeping himself and Timo from coming ???? what about his brother ? what about the flights that were apparently booked ? Earlier i mentioned the word hesitant , well i am hesitant to believe anyone that says one thing and does another . This German guy is seriously one of those guys , this is 3 times this guy has said things that he can't back up ! He will never have to meet Tim and say sorry or give his lame explanation , don't worry dude i will cover for you LOL ....
The problem here is that i promised Tim that i had 4 German guys coming and now there is only 1 ( Andy Tanzer ) . The bonus that comes out of this all is that now i have someone to share a room with . And we are gonna have FUN !!! To the people that bailed ... just wanted to let you know that Tim put down our team deposit , i booked a flight and Andy booked his flight all based on the fact that you guys were coming . We are still going but you have to understand that giving us the shaft is not very pleasuring . I will probably never get the chance to meet this German guy to thank him personally and will probably never respond to his emails again as it is not worth dealing with someone i can't trust .
The lesson learned is .... if someone asks you to go somewhere with them make sure they send you a copy of their itinerary before you book your flight ... in this case i was going anyway so it doesn't bother me , but i am sure it bothers a few others that i might have to explain this to in person . From the sounds of it Tim has a great network of players to bring , and apparently we have quite the international cast of players coming to play for us !
Don't take it as though i am fuming pissed off , i am still floating on a cloud dreaming of sitting up in business class .... for 60 000 Aeroplan pts and $180 in taxes i am flying to Honolulu , Hawaii in Business Class LOL.
