What would be wrong with simply having the Swiss tournament be completely unrelated to the actual championship? It would then still provide one with the opportunity of playing some warming-up games as well as trying to improve one's rating in order to get a better seeding.

I sent a message requesting a change to The_Jeh, and that's the time he chose, The_Jeh, can you confirm this?
Thanks to everyone involved, it was my own fault, I was dumb and misread a schedule : () ) |

The game time has been changed. Please check the time under the Scheduled Games section to make sure this is what you wanted.

Good suggestion. I've been writing up my thoughts on the WC format for next year and should be posting it soon.

This is to request a reschedule of 722caasi vs. ocmiente, which is currently scheduled for Sunday, 2:00am GMT.
I would like to change this to Saturday, 10:00pm GMT (2:00pm Pacific Time). I have emailed Isaac, and will send another email to him to confirm this time in the forum.

This game has been changed to the requested time. Sorry I did not see this earlier.
Moving games to a later time is safer than moving to an earlier time. If one of the players does not notice that the request was implemented then it could cause an unnecessary forfeit.
It is best to workout all time changes during the first 24 hours of the games being scheduled; that way the second run of the scheduler will implement the change.

I am sorry for missing my round 4 game. I lost track of time while taking care of my brother, and I would like to play in rounds 5 and 6.

When computing the F-factor for a swiss tournament that allows players to drop out or join later, should the players from the current round be used or players from round 1?

For simplicity I recommend that the value from Round 1 should be used for all rounds. It sort of makes sense, too, given that the ghosts of dropped-out players are still getting draws every round.

I agree for turnaments when nobody can enter later. In turnaments where participation is somehhow floating the other choice would be better.
