Hi John, Good, now if we get three more, you are in the tournament. I will try twisting arms later this week.

Based on current ratings, those players would arrange as shown yesterday. In order to form another Division we need four more players to sign up. If that happens, the list of players and their Division assignments will be re-sorted. In the final arrangement, all players will be grouped with opponents by rating not order of joining the tournament. But players are accepted as they join in groups of four players so if only three sign up from now to the end of the month they will not play.

So, the player's rating has nothing to do with the formation of the division, but the order in which they signed up?

Remember the tournament begins April 1 (the first anniversary of the blind-chess list) and you must sign up prior to March 30. Players are accepted in groups of four players, but are organized by rating in each group. Since we have 12 players, we now have three groups and will need four more players to have another group. Entry is first come, first served, so don't wait too long. The current groupings based on who has signed up so far are: Division A: 1. Paul Benson 2. Rod Macdonald 3. Stan Lovell 4. Curtis Cockayne Division B: 1. Lucy Jensen 2. Mike Gieschen 3. Edward Zolotarevsky 4. Richard Dinger Division C: 1. Alvin Blazik 2. Rebecca Blaevoet 3. Virginia Alverson 4. Greg Mason Richard
