True, but you don't get extra points for boring the other participants. Then agaiun, maybe you do. If you drag your games out long enough maybe some people will have quit RHP, or died of old age, before the next round. 😛
(* = in the Pie-Eating sense)
This site is too good for anyone to be quitting or dieing or owt like that.
More winging = more waiting in my book.
Edit - These are also the two games I look for first each time I login.

Originally posted by XanthosNZIt's pretty simple really. If you are the only player at 1.5/2.0, then if there are an odd number of players at 2.0/2.0 you will be paired with one of them (preference given for balanced matches start at the top of the standings). If there is an even number of 2.0/2.0 players you will play someone 1.0/2.0.
Interesting question is if I beat murrow in the last game and go 1.5-0.5 then will I end up matched up against someone who went 2-0 or 1-1?
Generally.
There always room for pairings to generate maximum annoyance. 😛

Originally posted by NordlysThe position is utterly closed and I didn't see a way to mount an attack on murrow's position without weakening my position to the point where he would have an advantage. He offered I accepted.
Why?
My decision was also slightly influenced by the fact that this is a friendly tournament, if I really wanted (or needed) the win I would have likely played on but as this is just a game for fun I'm happy to accept a draw that murrow has earned.
