Tourney round: Apterous Masters 2013: Qualifying & round 1

	Ben Wilson The deadline for entries is 7pm tomorrow (2/3/13), and the draw will be done promptly afterwards.
	Ben Wilson Just to clarify one thing- the format that will be used throughout the tournament will be the old 15-rounder.
	Ben Wilson Matt Conway has had to pull out and will be replaced by Giles Hutchings.
	Oliver Garner Looks like the Davies/Roper/McCullagh group is decided even though only 1 match has reached its conclusion.
	Oliver Garner actually no - ignore that
	Adam Gillard I'm very confused by this - are the groups published anywhere?
	Oliver Garner There are 58 entries - I'm guessing 38 had entry into round 1 with the other 20 having a knockout to make up the other 10. The 48 qualifiers are put into 16 groups of 3, and can be worked out by seeing that your 2 opponents are playing each other and those with 1 opponent either need to qualify for round 1 or are waiting on a prelim match to be completed.
	Oliver Garner I was just being catastrophically dense with my first comment - Hope it makes sense now
	Nick Deller To answer Adam, Aptochat logs from about 19:00 on 2 March have the draw being made.
	Adam Gillard Thanks Nick, I now know who else is in my group (Jon Stitcher or Chris Hare). Please post the groups somewhere and link them here though, Ben. Having to trawl the chat logs to find out your potential opponents isn't ideal.
	Nick Deller I might do that myself actually, just to show a bit of willing. Will post to the C4C and link through shortly.

	Ben Wilson Apologies for the delay in getting the draw up on c4c and thanks to Nick for, well, doing it for me. Will be more proactive in future. :-)

	Adam Gillard This is amazing. I normally run a tournament in May, will you be around then, Nick? ;)
	Nick Deller I tend to reserve May for "Other Interests". ;-)
	Zarte Siempre Nick's a swinger...

	Charlie Reams I'm literally very surprised by this situation.
	David Barnard So is it one of 2 people from the groups qualifying?
	Ben Wilson 3 players on 1 win each and a 3-3 record in Group G! The winner of the group, with a points difference of +20, is Jack Worsley. Well done Jack!
	Jon O'Neill I'm so confused.
	Jon Stitcher About your sexuality?
	Jon O'Neill No, about yours.
	Ben Wilson Just a heads-up for anyone who's applied to the tournament- as the tourney is now in progress, anyone who's applied is on a 'reserve list'- if a player drops out before the end of round 1, a player from the pending list will take their place.

	Nick Deller Not messaging here every time I update there... but I've just updated there. http://www.c4countdown.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9538&p=140190#p140190 - only one qualifying match still outstanding, and I reckon we already know 7 group winners.
	Nick Deller Updated - and I think that by taking the first game against Heather, Bob is now unassailable in Group D, if I've got my sums right. http://www.c4countdown.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9538&p=140190#p140190
	Ben Wilson I do believe you're right, Nick- which means I make it ten players already through to round 2!
	Martin Long When do you want the round 1 games played by Ben?
	Ben Wilson March 31st at the latest please, though obviously the earlier, the better.
	Ben Wilson Qualifying's all done, and just 11 games left in round 1!
	Andrew Millman I'm guessing sign-up is closed?
Show all comments
	Ben Wilson Afraid so- there'll always be next year though.
	Nick Deller First round matches updated, only two groups still remaining to be decided - Giles v Rob and Jen's two games are the key matches still to play: http://www.c4countdown.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9538&p=140190#p140190
	James Hurrell I mailed Ray on 9th and 16th to try and get a game time, but have not had a reply. I guess it is not vital to the group result.
	Ben Wilson All group winners are now decided, but if you could complete the outstanding games I'd be grateful if only for the sake of my OCD.
	Zarte Siempre I'm going to unplay one of my games just to spite you now, Ben...
