The way colors are decided is to aim for even color distribution. But the players don't need to worry about how colors are decided, I declare them when announcing the pairing.
Giga Dog Tournament
I will ask Musketeer if he would want to start his game with Landon now or finish his game with James first.
I have just gotten a reply from Musketeer saying that he is able to start his game with Landon anytime.
Link to the game between Landon and Musketeer is here:

@wenhuey advances in the losers bracket.
@TheGreatAttorney is eliminated

if I am correct, @wenhuey will advance to the Losers Bracket Round 5 as @Chess_Condor didn't join back.
I will wait with deciding that until it is time for game 52 to start, but most likely that will happen, yes.
@vickalan I am ready to play when you are.
Sorry for slight delay in some of my games (Haoming and MISTER_McCHESS). I'll start this game soon (1-2 days).
Gotten a PM from Condor saying he can just immediately give a bye to his opponent, he doesn't want to get paired
@vickalan I am ready to play when you are.
I really hate to do this but I need to withdraw from this tournament.😥
Someone in my family needs special medical care, and I do not have time to play another game now. I'm continuing to play other games that I have already started, and continuing to mod a few others.
I'm sorry to auk, I really would have enjoyed playing against him. Looks like Auk advances to play the winner of "Pandas vs. Scoota"!
Panda has just won Scoota by resignation.
Panda advances and plays with Auk next.
Btw still, Wenhuey can just get her win bc Condor told me he can let his opponent win immediately
@vickalan withdraws from the tournament.
@thegreatauk advances since his opponent withdrew
@PandasAwesome won against @ScootaChess
@thegreatauk will play white against @PandasAwesome
@ScootaChess is eliminated from the tournament
