Round 1 is still going on. I am having a horrible game against wucky. 😞

I split with invigorate. He beat the crap out of me in our second game. He's better than his rating would have you believe(I think I'm worse than mine.)

There's only been a few split matches (myself and Freddie included). No games were drawn thus far. The second round will have more close matches.

Excuse me... It's RookRAK's and my thread. You lost custody many many pages ago.

I never signed the papers....it's still mine.

I gave it life, I saw it through the early years, and then I let it explore its own way in life. But no matter how far it strays, and no matter the strange company it may choose to keep, it will always be my little thread, and I will never let anyone try to close it.

I still watch over it, and there has been more than one occasion when I have rescued it from Page 2 obscurity, and breathed life into once again.

Live on little thready, live on. You still have far to go and much to learn....😏

What happens in a split, player with the lower rating advances?

Moldy, ya didn't read the fine print.

This is a Swiss System Tournament. Everyone plays every round - nobody is eliminated. At the end the winner is determined by total points.

Read? Print? FINE print? What? Where? How? And what are all of you people doing in my room?

(I thought a Swiss tournament meant the winner got hot chocolate.)

We won't rule out hot chocolate as a prize.

Maybe, but only the winner gets the little marshmallows in his/hers.

Marshmallows in hot chocolate? I thought it was a Swiss tournament, not American.

Or maybe the higher your finish, the bigger the mug of hot chocolate you get.

I love those little marshmallows. As a kid I'd toss a few into the hot chocolate, let them get melty, then fish them out with a spoon and eat them, then repeat the process.

It's Americanized Swiss, or Switzerized American.
