Hello everyone,

My apologies to all players that the pairings have been changed in part owing to the inclusion of Mirko Rujevic, who made a mistake as to when the event started, and of course on my own behalf for posting the pairings straight away, being a bit blithe in this instance to the chances of the pairings needing to be changed.

In any case here are the new round 2 pairings

 1 Mirko Rujevic   2232 [1]       :     Thomas Kalisch     1798 [1]  
 2 Jim Papadinis   1796 [1]       :     Carl Gorka         2121 [1]  
 3 Malcolm L Pyke  2105 [1]       :     Bosko Mijatovic    1790 [1]  
 4 Scott Stewart   1770 [1]       :     Domagoj Dragicevic 2103 [1]  
 5 Pano Skiotis    2068 [1]       :     Alex Kaplan        1568 [1]  
 6 Felix Wyss      1749 [1]       :     Richard McCart     1827 [.5] 
 7 Garry Lycett    1821 [.5]      :     Paul Kovacevic     1764 [.5] 
 8 Bryan Shanks    1575 [.5]      :     Roger McCart       1570 [.5] 
 9 Jake Kostrzewa  1399 [.5]      :     James Martin       1662 [0]  
10 David Lacey     1740 [0]       :     Nikola Ivanov      1516 [0]  
11 Roger Beattie   1655 [0]       :     Sarah Anton        1401 [0]  
12 Jack Shanks     1489 [0]       :     Kozo Simutanyi     1598 [0]  
13 John Beckman    1553 [0]       :     Ben Coggins             [0]

What is it with all these postponements? It seems like a state past-time down there. Why isn't da peepz just turning up to da club and getting it orn? What is da matter wid eferybotty and der 'postponements?

Was you given too much lovin' by mummy and not enough smacks from daddy?

[MichaelBaron]

Whom did Mirko beat in round 1 to get to 1 point?

[Vlad]

He got a win on forfeit because Michael Baron did not show up.

Actually, the reason i was asking this, mid-week last week i was considering joining the tournament as well but as i did not want to have 0.5 bye and number of players was not even - i assumed that it was mission impossible

[macavity]

Hi Michael,

The reason for Mirko being entered late is that he made a mistake as to when the first round was ie which Monday. It was eventually decided to let him play, and he was given a full point on the high balance of probabilities that he would have won in round 1.

If you had thought of playing, you should have contacted someone I guess,

Take care and God Bless, Macavity

PS will not see reply until much later, going out now

Interesting
Agreed. I certainly should have contacted someone In fact, i could play Mirko in round 1 in this case and get the most important game out of my way early In any case, what is done can not be undone

As for "high balance of probablities" this is an interesting approach....When asking my question i did not realise it could be done.

[eclectic]

this doesn't wash with me ...

he didn't read the info right and he should have paid the price

a half point bye as a round two late entry

[Igor_Goldenberg]

As far as I know, if the pairing is possible for the first round (in the above case F. Gunnar received a bye), the high rated player would get a provisional 1 point for the pairing with catch-up game scheduled.

Igor, its true but in this case as far as i understood Malcolm's post (I may be wrong) the 1 point is not provisional and no catch up is scheduled.
