Thanks to you both for your kind words. At the end of the tour, I've got a big list of thank you's to go through as keeping this on track would be impossible without all the additional time and support other people have given.
Back on topic; all players have been wall posted with your opponents for Round 1. The leaderboard document will be updated regularly as and when results come through and that link won't move from the first post in this thread.
I'm pleased with how the seedings have fallen into place; there are lots of CC battles and three all Italian matches! When you've got 64 people to pair, you'd have got long-odds on that happening.
I can see a few matches being problematic so please talk to your oppo ASAP. I naturally want as many matches to happen in the MP format as it creates a true tournament but if we do have to use the two backup routes, then it's better to get this sorted sooner rather than later.
If someone does have to go down the backup route and gets hit with a poor wind set, then you have my apologies in advance. Unfortunately there's no other options available otherwise the event will fall dramatically behind schedule.
Cheers
James
