With all respect there was no answer. or what was it?? All i have been
told is "that is how the original pairings were done look at the web
site." That answers nothing! If i misunderstand then please explain
how the original pairings were done based on ratings, (1-4, 2-3 or
whatever) for the top section and 1400 section, are these 2 sections
consistent. I am aware that they are not, i have also been advised
that the 1400 section may well be correct but the pairings may have
been fixed in the top section to avoid an early schliemann v sintubin
match. I just want this explained in simple terms. I want nothing but
the truth. I am not concerned who i play, i play to win in the KO
whoever, wherever,whenever.
Apologies to your daughter i was unaware that 9 year olds were on the
site, maybe i should have checked out your games first. lol

I did answer this question but the entire thread was deleted due to
your use of language that hasn't been seen on here since the days of
xeno and attilachess.
The original pairings were done correctly and when I sent the setup
over to maggoteer he set up the web page...I obviously (brain fart on
my part) did not notice that the tables in some divisions got a little
skewed. I was just going by what he set up and not my original write
ups...which I think I might have thrown away...couldn't find them last
night.
It was a simple mistake...but not a huge one...this is still a "KO"
tourney and the person who wins will be the one who was supposed to
win regardless.
I will once again repeat..I am not perfect and if I am not
mistaken..NOONE on here is.

I agree with the last part of the message. I for sure make a lot of mistakes too. The point is that mistakes could be sorted before
they are irreversible if you would publish the pairings in advance, as well as the rules.
One question: why was in round 1 the pairing 1-4,2-5,3-6 in top group as well as in group1400 (plus 7-9 , 8-10), and you took
a different approach for the round 2 pairing? In fact the 'mistake' in the top group brings it back to the same rule (1-3, 2-4).
In that respect, the topgroup pairing is OK, but the 1400 group not. Gil.
Once again I was simply going by maggoteer's page with how he had
a bracketed...in no way shape or form was this meant to hold anyone
down or lift anyone up.
As for doing the pairings beforehand..just like John said people would
start their games early and that is not part of the original set up.
