I would like to withdraw from the tourney, if possible. Looks a little too tough for me.
Hi Jonathan, thanks for your note. Hope to see you in our events again. On September 24th we'll probably have a "Rapid" or maybe Blitz event.
Here are the pairings. Remember, White challenges Black. If anyone needs help with the challenge let me know. It's of course OK for Black to challenge White, as long as the colors are correct. G/60+5.
If anyone late-enters, I'll try to accommodate, but the pairings below will NOT change:
Board White Black
1. ___ Coons, James Jay (0.0,1708) ___ Becker, Allen J (0.0,2044)
2. ___ Menon,Gauri (0.0,1960) ___ Grochowski, Robin (0.0,1698)
3. ___ Rivedal,Andrew (0.0,1634) ___ Bhattacharyya,Rishav (0.0,1888)
4. ___ Bhattacharyya,Shaunak (0.0,1883) ___ Hogg,Neil (0.0,1572)
5. ___ Klandrud,Kevin (0.0,1437) ___ Hogg,Alexander (0.0,1801)
Is it too late for me to join the tournament today? If so, could I register and request a bye for this week?

Aditya, if someone else enters then the two of you can play Round 1. If no one else shows up, I will give you a 1/2-BYE and pair your for next week's Round 2.
Ok, thanks.
