got tonkaed, thanks, you have been added to the reserve list. Is there a team that you would like to be? croat_ante, amazzony was a 3 seed and she got upset. Although, I did the seeding strictly on score, which should give a big advantage to the higher seeds. Here is the one situation where the seeding may not work: flexmaster33 and RedBaron0. Both had 1321 (the only two peopel who had the same score at the time of ranking and they are playing one another. flex was given the higher seed due to more games played.

Arizona State wins

Sorry Hath. It seems that of the 5 people that have not started their games, 4 have not opened either PM that was sent. The other person who has not joined their game yet has opened the PM. Until very recently, he had 4 active, but now only has 3. I have already notified the opponent and the first replacement player of the situation. If all of these people do not join their games we will be 3 reserves short. If you know anyone who would be willing to join as a reserve, send them this way. There is a high likelihood that one of the reserves will get a game.

This is my third tournament. The first one I joined we played one round and then never heard any more from the organizer. The second one was alright, but this one is fabulous! I just wanted to say how impressed I am lance with your organization and continued follow up and follow through with all the play going on. It really makes the tournament enjoyable. Great job!
