Round 19

It's a bit crazy this morning as I'm having to turbo-type as results come in. I've received some invaluable help from not only Amy Krafchick, but Susan Bertoni, Joel Sherman, and John Luebkemann. Also, special thanks go out to Candace Hurley, who bought me the most scrumptuous sandwich yesterday afternoon, and Mary Pastore, who delighted me with cocoa when I told her I wasn't much of a coffee drinker.

I've decided to wait until I receive all results for each round before I pair the next round. I firmly believe, though, that this provides for the best tournament experience, as it makes pairings more accurate and ensures that the winner truly was deserving. Nowt o' the sort else report. We unfortunately had one player drop out in Division C, so a bye had to be given. We are a bit behind schedule, though other than that, I think this are running fairly smoothly, at least from my perspective.
