Good luck to all in round 2!
Does anybody know why I'm not in, and my friend drako does? We both had exactly the same score in our group in round 1....

Jan,

You did not advance because of the tournament format. Only two players per group can advance and drako advanced because of the tie-break system used. He was seeded 8th in the tournament and you were seeded 9th. Being seeded behind him meant that you needed to score above him to advance because a tie would go to him.

Yes it is difficult to go forward having to leave some good players behind. You played some good games.

Bret,

OK. I'm not really angry

Btw: it is more brainy when you tie, for the one who is lower seeded....

Regards,
Jan
