Just for the record, omar offered to continue his game against woh after woh timed out on move 12. woh's client didn't receive omar's move. The modified rules in this case (see earlier in this thread) are clear that after silver sends move 2, the game can only be continued if there is a problem with the server. So I denied omar's appeal to continue. Both players impressed the spectators with their good sportsmanship.

omar, im not sure this is right, im pretty sure camelback should be playing adanac because he is the top rated 2 win person(adanac) and camelback has three wins!

Assuming that there are no more withdrawals, and all remaining games are coin flips, I calculate the following odds:
The bottom 3-2 player doesn't qualify: 3/8
Exactly the 3-2 players qualify: 1/2
The top 2-3 player does qualify: 1/8
But don't trust these numbers until Adanac runs his simulations.

Maybe for next year there is an issue of players floating down. I seem to recall a WC (floating double elim) where the top seed kept floating down, and in this swiss tourney, camelback kept floating down just as well. Wouldn't it be "more fair" if a player who has already floated down would be defavorized to float down in the next rounds with respect to those who haven't? This is admitedly a very minor issue

OK, moved it back one more hour. So it is now 2 hours earlier than the original time.

In soldier vs woh, woh timed out after move 9. However, several people logged into the game site experienced lost connections at the same time. Therefore, the best explaination is that the ISP was at fault. Because of this evidence, I am ruling that woh's connection was not at fault and the game will be continued. The continuation will be at the position and clock settings, as near as can be approximated, at the time of the fault. Omar, soldier, and woh are scheduling the continuation.

I spoke to soldier a little while ago. He will not be able to play tomorrow and does not want to delay the tournament schedule. So he would like to award the victory to woh.
It should also be mentioned that woh had offered to accept the lose even though the connection problem was not his fault. I am highly impressed by the admirable sportsmanship of our players; they deserve to be commended. Please give them a virtual pat on the back next time you see them in the chatroom
