> @Deadban it does not matter in this match, but in future matches please play an even number of games. This is because, for example, if the score was 8-3, the extra game would have to be played in order to determine whether the winner gets 2/3 points (in the case of final score of 8-4) or 3/3 points (in any other case).

> @h8kurei I considered that and that is why I didn't propose it to my opponent. I don't think she was keen on playing an extra game anyway. But I will do it next time if you ask me to, even if it doesn't matter.

Sorry, I didn't see this until now. I also wondered if we needed to play an extra game but wasn't sure if it would make a difference in our case. Neither of us raised the issue anyway. However, I'm happy to play one more if needed to make it correct.

@Deadban never assume the lady doesn't want more until you have asked!

I mean, after the first game you said something along the lines of "do we have to play 8 of these?", so I assumed you were fine with not playing more.
Hello everyone! Reminder that all matches must be completed by the end of the month. I will be inputting scores and will soon send personal reminders to those who haven't completed them yet. Thank you!

Don't worry about it; it doesn't matter in this case. Just do it in future matches because in case where it affects the points earned it would be more trouble to go through than if you just played it no matter what.
