Macmahon and SOS are not listed since I do not get that data in the xml files I receive for the crosstabs.
Normally round 6 is late due to people packing up and meetings in the afternoon on Saturday. Its one of those very busy days for people running different parts of congress.
This year was slower in getting data due to a new program being used and not getting the pairings/results until late at night.
Decisions are made by those who show up. and possibly those willing to attend secret meetings in ancient basements

That really is unsatisfactory. Something needs to be done before next year. Imagine publishing all baseball results together, with no indication of whether each team is major league, from the minors, or a high school team. It would give no indication of the relative positions and strengths of each team.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).
Probably everyone participating in the thread knows this, but for the sake of anyone wandering in, let me just note that tournament grids with SOS were published in at least 2007-2009.
Now a question: does the new program being used make it more difficult to publish this information?
Results are now available in the AGA database, along with updated rankings. The order is different from the crosstabs, which suggests that it might be done by SOS, but I haven't tried to check that.
