Reluctantly, I will withdraw from the tournament. The combination of family obligations and health issues and the tournament's rather quick pace is proving extremely difficult for me. Hopefully everything will resolve over the next several months, and I will then be able to participate more than I have over the past year. But right now, events have more control over me than vice-versa. I'll finish my current games, and ask that no new ones be assigned me.

My apologies to the participants in the tournament. I have enjoyed playing each of you, and would enjoy continuing. These tournaments are an excellent way to play new games and meet old and new friends, and I'll miss not continuing. But at this point, I seem to be unable to play even somewhat competitively with any grace period of less than 3 weeks. Heh, should anyone wish to play a slow game with me, I'm available. I just don't seem to be able to juggle everything both quickly and successfully now.
