Adanac, is that a correct guess by mistre, or an artifact of concealing the registration list? In any case, this is yet another proof of people being reluctant to register for an event unless they see people of a similar rating registered.

From watching the average rating I am assuming the 3 people that signed up for open are Adanac, Fritz, and C&G. I am considering moving up to the open division (since that is where I wanted to play anyways) knowing full well I don't stand a chance of ending up "in the money." Adanac and always seem to have very fun games (which he somehow pulls some voodoo magic to make me think I am winning then brutally beat me). Fritz and I haven't actually played for a very long time so I have no idea what to expect versus him. I have never played C&G. For future reference I would probably set the maximum rating for the secondary event much lower (since I can't see who signed up I don't know where that level would be).
The question I am asking myself now is do I stay in the lower division where I have a decent chance of ending "in the money" or do I take an almost certain loss to get scheduled games versus top players.

Ginrunner,
Based on the replies in this thread, I think the three in the open division are actually C&G, Adanac, and Nombril.
You are more than welcome to take the final spot. I will take it if you decide you don't want it.

Thinking on it I would prefer to stay in the lower division.

Here are the pairings for the 1st round. I'll send an e-mail out later this week to all the players with more information. The player on the left is gold in game 1. The player on the right is gold in game 2. Continue to alternate throughout your match, all of which will be best-of-seven.
The tournament will not begin until after the Arimaa Challenge! If you play any games during the Arimaa Challenge they will not count in the tournament results. Good luck everyone.

If you and your opponent are planning to use the scheduling tool, you can use this link. I'll add it to the Wiki main page for reference:
http://arimaa.com/arimaa/events/selectTimes.cgi?e=2012imtime
If you are planning to choose this option for scheduling your games, remember that you can both select up to 2 vacation weeks per round but you must declare them by Tuesday May 1st. Also, please inform me if you're using this option so that I know I'm supposed to run the scheduler for your games.

No, you don't have to list them here in the future. I just do a search for "48s" in the recent Human vs. Human games and they're easy to find.

I'm not able to edit the Wiki page anymore to update all the match results. I'm not sure if everyone is encountering this problem, or whether it's just me. As soon as it's working again I'll add the 6 missing games to the Round 1 page.

I am having no problems updating the wiki. Maybe it was solved in the meantime.
I went on and added the 6 missing games.

It's not only you, I also had the same problem and still do. Can someone please undo my changes to the bot bashers page? It appears to have completely deleted it.
