When the lower seed accepts one of the three purposed Play Windows, an e-mail confirming the time for the match and containing the respective Nintendo DS"! Friend Code for each opponent is sent to both opponents. The match is now scheduled and each opponent has the respective Nintendo DS"! Friend Code of their opponent. The match is set. If either participant fails to be present at the appointed Play Window, the match is forfeited and the winner is the participant who was present. All participants will be contacted via e-mail to confirm they are present and ready to participate at the start of their agreed to Play Window.
