Tie Break is automatically calculated based on who you've beaten vs. who your opponents have beaten. If you have the same number of wins as another player, but he's beaten players with more wins in your bracket than the players you've beaten, he'll have a higher Tie Break figure.

It's possible for two players to have the same Tie Break figure when the bracket is done, in which case it's a real tie and both players will advance to the next round.

What is Tie Break? How do we get more of those points?

Yeah, the site's tourney engine tries to weed out the weak early. Cindarella story, baby!

Please don't put me in Mikhail's group.  He just beat me again...  I cried a little.

I think that's a really good idea.

And we also could run a relaxed format with two players advancing from each group.

There's no hurry.  Let's see if we can get it up in the 75 range.  I'll start sending out notes to individuals.

If there is a god of chess, he will make sure that I am not in Mikhail's group. 

Any semblance of pride I once had hangs by a thread...
