IMPORTANT! - The actual pairings for the next round could change because more players enter the tournament, because players are unable to attend, or due to other circumstances. Projected pairings are just the Tournament Director's best prediction of the next round's pairings based on the assumptions that no one else enters the tournament, that no one misses the next round, and that nothing unusual occurs. Please be aware that you are obligated to attend all rounds of the tournament, unless you have a bye approved by the Tournament Director for a specific round. In particular, you still must attend even if the projected pairings for the next round assign you a bye. The reason for this is simple: the situation may change (a new player enters or someone misses the round) and you will be needed for pairing. Please contact Donna Alarie (508-886-6700 or Donnachesspals@aol.com) by 4PM on the Thursday (or sooner!) of the round, if you won't be able to attend. Thank you for your cooperation - it's critical to having well-run tournaments.
