Keep in mind ...

10 last minute pointers that'll apply for all coming rounds,

Scheduling:
-Do not directly message your opponent. Instead always post in the game forum, this way captains and directors can follow too.
-Try always to suggest 3 times at which you could play. Also if your opponent's suggestions don't fit you, don't just say it but add some new ones yourself.
-In your suggestions, try to use server time. You can check this by typing the command "date" on fics and there may be a clock in the game forum as well.
-Use the option set time only when you have a mutual agreement.
-Avoid missing the deadlines, checking your messages daily can't hurt too much.

Playing:
-Before you start "set noescape 0", if not so already. In fact if both have it at 1 and the game is lost due to disconnection, BOTH players lose the game (so 0-0 in the stats).
-Before you start "set kibitz 0", if not so already. Observers are often whispering lines, but from time to time someone might accidentally kibitz something you're not supposed to see.
-Do not match your opponent. Instead use "tell teamleague play", this way the bot picks up on it automatically.
-Try to be online at the correct time, ideally a bit earlier. If not keep the delay as low as possible, arrive maximum 30 minutes late.
-Obviously no form of assistance is allowed. TL is in the first place a friendly environment, please try to keep it that way.
