Looks like my June 1 prediction wasn't that far off... 

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to drop out since I don't have the time or energy to play these days.  I hope the software lets bruciebaby advance in my place...

Good luck!

Well, it looks like all of the groups have their two winners mathematically determined, but it seems like the final round doesn't get going until all the first round games are finished.  A bug in the software...?  I'm guessing it'll be like June 1 before we actually get started.  Maybe we should have a pool to see who guesses the closest!  Wink

Hmm, I think you get 6 whites and 6 blacks every round, since you play each opponent twice.

is it normal to have 5 blacks and 1 white?
