looking for a link
I know that there are many matches to update, but this sucks. It seems that someone could surely update the bracket in a little more timely fashion. There are Tuesday morning matches that we still don't have results for.Timberly said:The brackets are not updated immediately. What they're looking for & what I was looking for was live up to date info. Yesterday people were starting their 2nd match @ 7pm but the bracket had not even shown the winner of their first match. Mike isn't sitting there in the tournament room.... he's dependant upon them to get the info to him. It would be great if the open's website posted live scores....![]()
JAM said:There are MANY people here at the U.S. Open who are posting via laptops. My laptop doesn't have a high-speed Internet connection, sad to say, and it's a slow turtle compared to most.![]()
If I can locate somebody here on site who has a laptop with a high-speed Internet wireless connection, I will try to get them to bring their laptop to the Chesapeake Conference Center. I would be happy to post the upcoming matches, names of players and times. It wouldn't take me long to do so as I type 150-plus words per minute.![]()
So, anybody who reads this post and is actually here at the Open with a laptop and the above-referenced specs, try to hook up with me and let's keep our AzBilliards friends updated. For the inquiring minds, we would be doing a great service.![]()
Snapshot, I most likely won't get to the conference center until after 6:00 p.m. tonight. PM me your phone number, and I'll call you and read the chart. Get ready to let you fingers do the talking!![]()

I recently learned how easy and cheap it is to update a laptop to wireless and did so and it works great. Wish I was there to perform that job but as we already know I only type 125 words. lol.
It is really sad with all the technology going on there what with bcn etc etc they cannot update a website live. In the pro golf tournaments they update live hole for hole. I realize they do have a lot more money.

Because some of my work software needs a "real" DOS prompt, I am forced to have a Windows 98 operating system when I am transcribing pages on the road. So that is why I haven't purchased a newer laptop with Windows XP. The Windows XP DOS prompt sucks and is not the real deal.
BTW, SactownPlayer PM'd me his phone number. I am going to call him up in a few hours and read off the chart. So stay tuned.
