Sorry guys, I'm playing very slowly (and badly). The days of considered contribution and thoughtful debate on chess.com are in the past for me, three kids, two babies under 18 months equals hectic hectic hectic! Now, back to feeding and changing....

Big E, I don't want to start a Vacation Abuse thread :-) Having said that I will be on vacation for 2 weeks soon (will be trying my hand at OTB again)

MM78 - It looks like you have quite a challenging list of opponents you have there. Hopefully, you have enough vacation time to save your games when you need to extend the time.

Well second rounds are like buses, you wait for ages for one to come and then several come at once, and now I am snowed with games lol.

I changed the max group size from 7 to 8. I did this just in case we have 8 players that make it to the final round. :) If I had it set on 7 and 8 make it then the system is going to divide the 8 into two groups which means it will take another round to complete the tournament. :)

We are playing with tie breaks and the top 2 move on from each group, but it is still possible for players to tie.

@hicetnunc - I don't know the new guys very well. :) They are Arby's recruits. I just setup the tournament. :)

It is a tough bunch. :)
