Note: Pairings are tentative. If you are assigned a full point bye, please check on Wednesday by 4:30 p.m. to confirm. One half point bye is allowed per month if advance notice is given before round two begins (otherwise, it's a zero-point bye unless assigned by the TD). Late entries are accepted with a half point bye in round one. Any players who forfeit and do not notify the TD in advance will be withdrawn and have to pay a double entry fee the next time they play. If you know you cannot play a round, it is your responsibility to notify the TD by 4 p.m. Wednesday at 210-694-2324.
