Life In 19x19

We've got just enough for a well-balanced tree. If you really want to play, we can fit you in, but your pairings may be weird.

EDIT: The latest entrant just unbalanced the tree, so I'm redoing a few things. At this point, one more person would be most welcome.

EDIT2: RESISTRATION IS CLOSED. PAIRINGS ARE UP

Sounds fun! Are we doing tiered play so that stronger players get byes for early rounds?

It will be much like last year. Indeed, if we have exactly 48 people, it will be exactly like last year, in which the lowest ranked players played first, and dans were not seeded until the 4th round.
If we have 64, it will morph into a simple tree with no byes. Between 48 and 64, the stronger you are, the more likely you are to get byes.

EDIT: I changed my mind on this one. I'll be taking Herman's advice ( see post #18 )

5k TimoJ

3d venkman

(account doesn't have a rank now but that was the last one it had)

8k Sevis

1d: redundant (I swear one day I'll keep my concentration up long enough to get its rank up to 1d with my other accounts ...)

1k: lavalamp

3d: DuskEagle

Gonna be fun

5k: oren

7k: Hushfield

5d herminator

(actually, my KGS rank is '-', but 5d is a reasonable guess)

about 3d: ez4u

LiKao 5k
