Swiss Tournament attempt 2
Hello again everyone! Last week, the Swiss tournament auto-cancelled because there were not enough players. This week, I'm trying it again but on a Thursday with the hope that fewer people will have schedule conflicts. Hopefully this one is easier for people to attend should they want to!
The tournament starts at 8pm on Thursday October 5th. Registration will open one hour prior to that at 7pm.

FAQ:
Q: Do I lose points if I only participate in some of the rounds?
A: No. You can withdraw from the tournament at any time and not lose points or rating for un-played rounds. However, you cannot win points for games you don't play for obvious reasons.
Q: How does pairing work?
A: It follows a kind of involved algorithm, but the short version is that in the first round you play someone based on your rapid rating, and in subsequent rounds you play someone with the same number of points as you in the tournament so far.
