i just assigned several games.  

there needs to be some kind of decision on the players who keep timing out.  the tournament is almost finished.  at the moment, i count 11 active players in the tournament:

antoine fourriere
adrian alvarez de la campa
carlos carlos
david paulowich
gary gifford
je ju
joe joyce
juan rodriguez
michael schmahl
todor tchervenkov
uri bruck

i don't want to spend time assigning all the games that never get played.  how about... if anyone who is inactive reads this and wants to keep playing in the tournament they post here within the next couple of weeks and i'll assign all their remaining games?  any other ideas/solutions?

if it's just the eleven players, there are only the following games that still have to be assigned once players become free:

david paulowich - joe joyce
joe joyce - michael schmahl
michael schmahl - uri bruck

i will assign these as other games finish.

also... antoine fourriere-todor tchervenkov (i can't find the glinski preset!)

finally... last year i accidentally assigned a mir chess 32 game between michael schmahl and greg strong.  that game was never meant to be played (greg never moved and lost on time).  michael was supposed to play mir chess 32 with gary gifford and that game is now active.

good luck!
