Ladies and Gentlemen,
Thank you for your participation in the Masters Tournament!
The tournament field is comprised of sixty-four (64) players with an average rating of 2376.
Among the participants are thirteen (13) titled players, including three (3) GM's, six (6) FM's, one (1) WFM, two (2) NM's, and one (1) CM.
This is an elimination tournament, featuring many of the strongest players on the site, so the competition will be fierce.
None of the pairings is easy, but the pairings for Groups 12, 14, and 16 are especially difficult, because there are two titled players in each of those groups.
Have fun, play with confidence, enjoy the competition, and may the best player win!
