Help me cover for my mistake please!

I apologize again for failing to set up the tournament correctly.  I should have fixed the starting position to 1. e4 c5  2. c3, the so-called Alapin Sicilian. 

 

Since I failed to do that it is possible to start the game in other ways.  Please help me cover for my mistake and play those three half-moves to start each game!  People joined this tournament because they wanted to play games in the Alapin, and I'm hoping everyone gets the experience they're looking for!

 

Thanks, and best of luck!
