Term #4 in your agreement re: reschedule requests, if necessary. Want to avoid if possible, but we're trying to make sure there's few to no holdups

@fourplayerchess are you sure the pairings are correct? I think Prathu + jk and Sakthi vs nava times are switched

Sometimes players take long breaks from chess.com; so a workaround this would be to share your Discord/email ID with TD/admins so that you get a notification and then you can check the forum. Would that be feasible?

I was also not in reach of discord/email. Announcing this at least 3 months before start would be good.

Announcing it at least one month earlier before anything starts (better 1.5 - 2months) would be good enough for me.

Rankings of remaining teams are pending. Term #5 stated "similarly to the objective criteria" and forum post #1 said Teams ratings only (no self-partner), so we're only basing off of Rapid Teams ratings. Fortunately, this made no difference in rankings, but in the future, I plan to be more consistent.
From what we know so far, @eyeofthetiger1204 and @carlosgabriel1234 are guaranteed #1 seed. If @Radon and @Pioleen win Match C, their team challenges them. If they don't, @icystun and @smokincaruana challenge them, @prathu_19 and @jkcheesechess would challenge the winner of Match D, and a new Challonge bracket will be created.

The winner of Match D is projected to play as a #2/#3 seed no matter what.

Please note that substitutions will not change the ranks. The evaluations are final and the rankings depend on the results of the matches played less than 24 hours from now. See below for evaluations.
