Although three games are yet to be played in round one, I have been assured by those concerned that they will be completed ASAP. Two of these games are already scheduled for next Tuesday.
I will announce the pairings for round two shortly, adding an extra (fifth) week to its deadline. This will hopefully give time for the outstanding games to be played.
