How to I find my scheduled partner? How do I contact him?
Add as friend on TF, you may then attach a message to the friend request.
Add their HD user as friend, sned a comment on their profile page, send a PM.

Search for TF users here: http://www.tetrisfriends.com/friends/index.php
Search for HD users here: http://goo.gl/ltALf8

If there is no HD user in the player list try ""[TF username] Tetris"" in google. You may find forum posts showing you their TF name and HD name.

If there is no HD user in the player list try ""[TF username] Tetris"" in google. You may find forum posts showing you their TF name and HD name.

does that mean if my opponent TF name is electric, i don't know his HD ID,

i type electric tetris on the search page of google? i can't find him by that. i see much less relative things there

i'm just doing this because some other players couldn't deal with this.

hmmm my opponent buffa (on the schedule list name) isn't on the playerlist...neither tetrisfriends name or harddrop name is shown...hopefully i can find him... even though my default time match time is fine with me
