I've made some tough call and posted my judgement on all unfinished games. Please let me know (via PM) if you have some suggestions about any of those games, I'm kinda accepting appellations this round =) Till tomorrow evening.
Pairings are to be posted soon, they don't actually that interfere with standings at this stage of the tourney.
Standings are updated BTW. Still in-competition for the top4: Ellipsis, Vermont, Freesoul, xade, salvor, MikeEB and possibly Maven.
upd: Pairings are posted. DQ is disqualification. Bye is default win, i.e. 3 points. Usually in Swiss there is only one BYE per round with odd number of participants, but we have quite a small number of participants and we have to do three pairings per round, so I figured that'd be better then pairing one of top4-contestants to the bottom 4 =)

I'm a little bit annoyed by the ruling. As I consider my match vs. Kenton probably won, and don't take credit for the delay. But on the other hand, I didn't even see the end of round 3 coming, so it might be a problem on my schedule. I admit being occupied with other things, but wanted to give at least some response, to not be another BYE. Doesn't seem to help so I withdraw.

Wider... I examined your game, and as of turn 11, it is impossible to say you have "probably won" I understand your frustration at not being able to complete the game, but that happens sometimes. On the plus side, the game was declared a draw, which I think is the fairest decision which could be made under the circumstance. You don't really believe any other conclusion could be made at this point, do you?
Anyway, I do hope you keep to the fun spirit of the tournament, and continue your competing.

I like how my pairings for the 3rd round are all three of the highest ranked players in the tourney (after round 2) who are not me. I feel the love, Bio. (of course, this just reflects the fact that I haven't already dueled them in the previous round, but it's still amusing to see) Perhaps the reason they are all ranked so high is precisely *because* they haven't already played you BAM!

I'm confused by the pairing. It show me playing Ellipsis but not a match for him to play me:
6 Ellipsis Freesoul Wider twobee 9 Vermont Ellipsis Dubber kenton
I'm sure I'm just having a brain fart. Someone straighten me out please!

Wider I'm kinda sorry you feel this way about that game. If you can provide me (via PM) with your thoughts about the position, I'm open to reviewing the case (just keep in mind we're talking about T11 here).
Vermont Sorry mate, that's a typo on my past. You play vs. Freesoul, not Ellipsis.

Wider hasn't accepted my challenge, either. Moreover, my laptop caught Ebola or something, so I'm playing and posting on my iPod now, but my games WILL continue nonetheless!
