Pick-A-Winner (PAW) #31 – FINNISH INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGE - 2008

[Loh]

Hello Georgie-boy, can I appoint you as the PAW representative for putting up the relevant tournament software scores website for every PAW we compete in? In other words, as soon as Sandy has given the relevant info for the PAW tournament, could you please followup with the scores website.

Your prompt action will help many of us to settle in quickly without wasting too much precious PAW time!

Thanks a Zillion!

Are you playing the super 3rd singles again for your team?

The tournament software website for the Finnish International Challenge:

http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sp...y=2008&m=4&d=3

Helsinki, Finland
Helsinki is the capital of Finland
The native names of Finland are Suomi (Finnish), Finland (Swedish)

First Day matches (Qualification) start at 9 am (Finland time)
Finland is 7 hours behind Singapore.
So the first match will start at 4 pm Singapore time.

[Dreamzz]

Are you playing the super 3rd singles again for your team?

hahaha, we'll see.
my aim is always to get into the top 5, that's the main objective.

The Nordic Countries have a similar pattern on their flags although their colours are different and players from these countries, namely Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark, are represented at this Finnish International Challenge. A disappointment to see so few Norwegian players though.

Can you identify the flags?

And this familiar Indonesian player, Hendry Winarto, is now representing Spain!

[Loh]

Can you identify the flags of the Nordic countries?

Sorry, I have inadvertently left out Iceland. Wonder any of their players are taking part.

You can learn more about the Nordic countries from this website:
