We're down to the final 4

Semi-Final: <gmt>Sat 2010-05-08 17:00</gmt>
MyungWan Kim 9P (myungwan) - Zhaonian Michael Chen 7D (zchen)
Eric Lui 7D (compendium) - Jianing Gan 6D CA (hkkyeen)

after tomorrow's games, there'll be a 3 game playoff to determine 1st, 2nd and 3rd places over this weekend and next.

Not sure yet if I'll get to watch the games scheduled for Mother's Day. Otherwise, we might as well cancel Father's Day for me :)

Times like these are when I wish KGS had an auto updated web link for top games on their site. I wonder, is it possible? A scribe-bot that updates through diagrams on webpages?

well, if the TD's would communicate with the KGS Admins, then they could keep it updated.

I do not think I explained what I meant correctly, but I do agree with you. There is a serious lack of coordination on the part of the TDs. That's not to say they aren't doing a decent job, I just think it could have gone a lot more smoothly than it did. On the first day.. I saw that a few of the players did not know who to talk to / where the TDs were to watch over the game(I believe some of the TDs were missing...). It's very painful to see players having to ask repeatedly to be able to start their game or not know where the TDs that they were to report to were at. Not to mention, some of them starting their games in different rooms(some in EGR, some in AGA tournaments, etc). I also have not seen the sponsor sign on to watch any of the games.. Isn't this a bit odd?
