Post Round 2 Email + Round 3 Pairings
Tuesday, February 8, 2011

Hey everyone,

Attached is the Pairings for this weeks round. Reminder: please tell me ASAP if you are going to have to take a bye during for a specific round, last week I had to give out two half point byes and two full point byes (which should never happen!) due to last minute unforeseen circumstances. I will no longer be taking bye requests the day of the tournament, and if you do not show up to the round you will be forfeited, two forfeits will mean expulsion from the tournament.

A second note, The priority of pairings is largely due to point class (2,1.5,1,.5,etc) and opponent (meaning you cannot play the same person twice), and then color. This means that you may have to play a color (white or black) twice in a row, especially if you have a full or half point bye the previous round. This problem has not occurred yet, but it will come up later in the tournament! Finally, please tell me if you have already played your opponent in a previous round, as this should not happen and I will fix the pairings accordingly.

Have a good rest of the week, See you all Thursday.
