I really wish someone tells the organizers to re-pair the 6th round as the pairings are not only illegal but more important really have the potential to scew the final out-come very much . I don't think this will happen though :-( It seems most Swiss software is far away from perfection still . Ie for the final round of cct-1 on ICC Nordicswiss ( not completely sure about the name ) was used and it would have paired completely illegal and this would have changed the outcome too ( for example Bringer would have got tcsp :-) as opponent which was about 3 points difference in pairing in a 9 round swiss ) . Fortunately SJLIM ( dunno right name ), the referee made a manual repairing which was perfectly ok . But Swissperfect seems to be one of the better ones you get free trial on . pete
