So you are proposing that the World Championship continue to be paired like a Swiss tournament throughout, except that some people have been eliminated after Round Five?

Not exactly. The rule set of the finals would remain as it is now, but the seeds would continue to change after each round, being based on what the standings in the Swiss tournament would have been if the new games were also taken into account.

Omar, would you be so good as to change my game time with Tuks to Monday 13:00 my local time? That's 19:00 GMT, 20:00 Tuks' local time. Tuks had a conflict with tennis that he didn't factor into to his time preferences this week.

Yes, 20:00 my time on Monday is much better, i didnt factor in tennis because my coach tends to tell me during the week before Saturday when he is scheduling me in for a game

What about strength of schedule? Would people who made it to the finals keep earning tiebreak points for their previous opponents, while people who didn't make it to the finals didn't earn points?
Also, what is the rationale for this complexifying change? Is it that the current setup is too hard on the low seeds in the finals? I actually think the current setup is quite generous to the low seeds in the finals by forgiving their losses. And although chessandgo gets the easiest road this year, it's not as much of an advantage as it would have been for him to have an extra life because he hasn't lost yet.

It seems the color assignments for Round 2 of the finals are incorrect. I played Gold the first round while arimaa_master played Silver, but now that we are paired against each other I am playing Gold again and he is playing Silver again. I recall that we determined at one point that the algorithm that pairs the finals doesn't consider color assignment. Was that omission ever corrected?

It was fixed for the preliminary games, but not the finals. It should be OK now for the finals.

Thanks for fixing it! It would have been tragic if arimaa_master's stunning upset of me had been invalidated by incorrect colors.

After fixing the color problem. I did not notice until today that the predictions already entered had become invalid on the two games where the colors were switched. Some people had noticed and updated their predictions and other had not. For those who updated it, you will still get the same time for entering the predictions on these games as your time for the switched game. For those who did not notice your prediction for the switched game will be used.
Sorry about that. I have to be more careful next time about getting the colors right.

Hi Omar,
Is it possible to reschedule the WC game 99of9 vs camelback game delayed by 48+5 hours from the original time.
Sorry for the late request. If it is too much trouble then I'm ok with the forfeit.

I think I misunderstood this when I first read it.
If it is OK with 99of9 and the TD I will try to reschedule it.

This would fall outside the window of time for the round 2 games. I'll try to get in touch with the TD to see what he says about your request.
