BYE Request
The players not available for Round 5 (Aug 29 - Sep 6) are invited to request a BYE by posting down below. A BYE for Rounds 1 - 4 is worth ½ point, whereas a BYE for Round 5 is 0. Requesting a BYE when not available is the logical way to avoid a forfeit loss and a possible resulting suspension.
Good chess!
