2:30 pm Thursday; no one has expressed interest in joining the event with a Round 1 BYE (thus, so far, the above pairings are still valid). But, I will wait until 6 pm today (Thursday) before I post Final Pairings.
September Swiss - 3-week Swiss event, G/60 with 5-second increment - (September 3, 10, 17)
OK; I think I won't change the pairings right now. Maybe I'll just give you and me 1/2-PT Byes for Round 2. Aditya, I assume you will play Round 3 next week?
Round 2 pairings unchanged. Below are the pairings, listed twice (real names, and then chess.com handles).

Hi Allen. Could I participate in this weeks contest? Luke Myers. MKEMarauder. luke.myers1@gmail.com. I've never been officially rated, so I don't know.
Hi Luke, yes you can play, because there is an odd player needing a game. So, you will be White against Neil Hogg (luckycent). Thursday at 700 pm you would challenge Neil. Let me know if any questions.
This isn't officially US Chess-rated. It's chess.com-rated.
