I would like to thank everyone for their patience in waiting for this
tournament to begin. At the time it was supposed to begin, some unexpected
chaos, known to some of you, made it difficult for me to focus on assigning
the pairings. Since then, without an immediate deadline in front of me, I
have let work, exercise, and spending time with my new girlfriend and her
kids get in the way of finishing the pairing assignments. Back during the
previous tournaments, I worked fewer hours, exercised much less, and
didn't have a girlfriend. So I had much more time for running a
tournament.

Anyway, I have now posted the pairings straight from my spreadsheet. I
will tidy up the HTML later. I am presently writing from work while I'm
at the counter and have no customers to deal with. Before I start
assigning games, I want to make sure everyone in the tournament is aware
that it is beginning. If you're in this tournament, please leave a note
here to let me know you're ready.

Also, some of you may change the games you're playing in the tournament.
If you and your opponent for a particular game are both not playing
another game, and you both would prefer to play that other game, you may
switch. Note that black squares indicate games someone chose not to play,
and red squares indicate arbitrary decisions made while assigning
pairings. If you and your opponent both have red squares on another game,
then you might choose another. But if one of you has a black square on
another game, it indicates a real preference against that game.
