I withdraw so that Aphelion can participate. He takes my slot.

Does this mean that the pairings will be redone? (I first thought of saying "players will be repaired", but it would have looked somewhat funny :razz:).

My both KGS accounts are now 7k, should it make any difference to anything.

I'm rather tempted to say no now as people may already have started to arrange their games, although it's slightly awkward as it puts a 6k player into Group 1. Still, either way, to win the tournament is going to require not losing ever, so you have to have your two losses at some point - I suppose it doesn't make too much difference.

Li Kao, you would be playing Aphelion in the first round. If you object to this as he is a 6k like yourself, please can you say and I will find an alternative Group 2 player to swap you with!

I'm not in either affected group, but at this point I think we should just get on with the tournament. It's no tragedy if someone's seeding is off by one stone or something.

I've got no problem with the current seedings - as long as Li Kao is okay with them.

And sorry Jordus, I'm not quite my avatar :)

I think at this point it's probably best to leave it the way it is. People are already starting to set up the games, so we really shouldn't be switching things all around again.

On another note, a big thanks go out to Topazg again for getting this set up and going! Thanks. :D

I keep linking it all over the place, but http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ is awesome to arrange international matches, what with all the different timezones.

Seems like the the time controls are a little strange - in my view, 10 stones in 5 minutes is absolutley glacial - it is certainly far more leasurely than 5 X 40 seconds. They are not really equivalent.


I'd agree with this. Although I argued against blitz byoyomi time limits, in my experience, 25 in 10 or, slightly faster, 15 in 5, are good time limits, that allow dealing with a thorny problem should it occur, but help prevent games going on for extremely extended times.

If this matters to anyone doing the organizing, I seem to be playing currently as a 6k, and I have *never* played a game with settings slower than 30 + byo yomi.

Are the match results being posted anywhere? At least, is there a "Results" thread somewhere? It would just help me visualize the draw easier, and also I like to know what's going on with the matches.

This reminds me of the NAIM. Win a hard match, get an impossible match. Win that, and get an even more impossible match.
