Byes

The aim is to only provide a single 1 point bye to players that come to play and are not paired in one of the rounds (due to odd number of players). If a player cannot make it to one of the Tuesday evenings, then we allow for up to 2 half point byes with advanced notification. If a player does not show up, they will be paired, clock started. If after 30 minutes, they do not show up then the game is forfeit and they are withdrawn from the tournament.
