There are 12 players and 11 rounds, so I'm sure they've paired the event as a round-robin, making seedings irrelevant. That said, the organizers would have been smarter to fiddle with the schedule so the top programs faced each other near the end, not the beginning. But this is the ICGA - they aren't that clever. As for two blacks in a row, I would have expected the colors to alternate, but given that some program are going to get 5 whites and 6 blacks, maybe it's not totally unexpected. I think it's great that you've played the top two programs with black and scored +1. Your remaining schedule is easier than everybody else's now. :) -Peter
