Prostejov Challenger.

[L Sanchez MD]

Hey all,

I'm playing the Prostejov Challenger (first round), and I can't connect with my opponent. We tried lots of different things, but I think the problem is a closed NAT issue, so basically we can't play.
Not everyone wants to port-forward, which is quite understandable.

Anyway, my opponent said it was OK if I went through to the next round, rather than both of us going out (a nice gesture from him).
However, I wanted to check with the forum what the protocol was. I messaged the tournament host a few times, but no reply, and time is moving on.

What happens next?

(Btw, the exact symptom was that either of us set up the match as normal, then selected the player, but then nothing appeared, and finally a message said "This session is no longer available." or something along those lines. We tried restarting, resetting hubs, playing on a different time and day. No joy. NAT issue, most probably.)

It sounds like a NAT issue yes.

I have updated the draw of this particular tournament.
