I have been thinking the same. Is this a Swiss system tournament? If so, Swiss Pairings should have been used. If it is a round robin, then who knows what the hell they did. Trying this whole scenario in Swiss Perfect makes it seem this would be a Round Robin event and the seedings were WAY off... Crafty would have had to be seeded 10th to make sense of it other than the two blacks in a row because colors would alternate in the RR type system. Even if I won this event I would seriously question the validity of the pairings and seedings as they simply do not make any logical sense. Peter
