Please let me know if there are any misspellings in your name. Also, if you didn't attend this week, but would like to join the tournament, please let me know by Wednesday (Sept 19, 2012), and we can pair you into the next round. We'll give you a zero-point BYE for the first round.

If you can't make it next week, please let me know before we start pairing, so that we can give you a 1/2 point BYE. If we pair you, and you miss the game, you get zero points for the round. If all goes well, we'll post the Round 2 pairings by Friday.

See you next Monday!
