How were the pairings chosen? John said in a post that they were done
on the basis of ratings. So in the top section the 4 players left in had
ratings of :-
Sintubin 1906
Schliemann 1828
Knightmare_NJ 1788
Wwarrior 1734
giving the pairings:-
Sintubin (1) vs Wwarrior (4)
Schliemann (2) vs Knightmare_NJ (3)
In the 1400s section the players left in are:-
tenebr8 1494
T1000 1467
Gbgnils 1435
Bbarr 1430
Misslead 1412
Alley Crime 1401
and the pairings are
tenebr8 (1) vs T1000 (2)
gbgnils (3) vs Bbarr (4)
Misslead (5) vs Alley Crime (6)
and a different method appears to have been used. I don't mind who
I play, am glad to have just scraped past my first match (and would in
fact love to play against The Dark Squire himself!) but should there
perhaps be consistency? How were the pairings chosen?

Mark are you referring to this post? "Re: Baker Invitational
Tournament-1400 Division

Tony, Yes it is based on original rating. Remember, Most of us here at
Red Hot Pawn have jobs. Playing chess is what we do for enjoyment.
Orchestrating a Tournament is what we like to do. Please give Dave
time to do the pairing. I know he was at work today.

Ps: It is Dave's tournament. I'm sure he is not dragging his feet on
this. He reserved the pairing for himself because he knows the rules
better than myself. "
Look closely at my last sentence. gbgnils may not have made a move
since august, but he has not resigned fromthe tournament and we
have to assume he is still in it. If he does not move in timeout time
he will lose by TO.
