Robin Groups

Since this is a double round robin, color assignment for Rounds 1 thru 3 will be random, based on coin toss, or random color selection. Rounds 4 – 6 will reverse the color assignment (so each player will play each other player twice, once with each color).

Here are the pairings for the round robin sections:
  • Round 1 & 4: Player 1 vs. Player 3 and Player 2 vs. Player 4
  • Round 2 & 5: Player 1 vs. Player 4 and Player 2 vs. Player 3
  • Round 3 & 6: Player 1 vs. Player 2 and Player 3 vs. Player 4

Swiss Group

Pairing will be done via SwissSys, and will be posted every week.
