Silly question probably but, how do you move the racket? I'm on a laptop and I've tried the mouse and the arrow keys and neither work.


Title: Re: Kia Tennis Ball Hunt!
Post by: Doglet on Sunday 15 January 2012, 06:38:29 pm
Your mouse should move it. Maybe click in the game first, then try moving it.

Otherwise - touchpad.

Is anyone else having problems with the site?  3 times I've had it go to a strange page when I click to enter the competition and today after I'd filled in the entry form to go in the draw, when I hit submit it just won't change.  I had to refresh the screen and it went back to play again.  That's happened twice in a row so although I've had 2 entries, no idea if either has been accepted.  Very annoying. Not sure I can bothered doing another 8 games to see if it refuses me an 11th.  And I'm on nightwork so amazing I can even manage to play, rather go to bed.

Oh, agree Axeman should get a prize!
[edit THREE times now, that's it! going to bed]

Hello All,
I've just got 7+ balls 21 times and entered my details (no instant prize) but it has confirmed all my 21 entries. However, I notice in the
T & C's only 10 entries are allowed per day???? I would have expected a message to tell me I have exceeded my max entries for today.
Has anyone else been able to enter more than 10 times? or are we expected to just stop at 10?

Good luck to everyone.
