Apterous Summer U1000 Week 1

Since this group is such a pleasure to work with (that is, they've managed to play all their games), I'll put up their crosstable-so-far early:

Seed	Name	Rating	Round 1	Overall	Games	PPG
1	Liam Tiernan	984	10 2 - 0	1	+2	76.5
2	Shaun Hegarty	983	9 2 - 1	1	+1	81.3
3	Jason Turner	958	8 2 - 0	1	+2	92
4	James Hall	955	7 2 - 0	1	+2	86.5
5	Julie Russell	934	6 2 - 0	1	+2	96.5
6	Phil Collinge	900	5 0 - 2	0	-2	82.5
7	Andy Wilson	898	4 0 - 2	0	-2	75.5
8	James Levison	884	3 0 - 2	0	-2	77
9	Niall Seymour	834	2 1 - 2	0	-1	73.7
10	Ian Dent	665	1 0 - 2	0	-2	60.5

It's mostly luck that the games in the first round worked out 1-10, 2-9, etc; the pools (of 5 each) were chosen so that (1) each pair 1-2, 3-4, etc. were in different pools and (2) the total rating in each pool was as close to equal as possible. I was originally just going to do (2), and then I saw that the pools split it up with seeds 2, 6, 7, 8, and 9 in one pool. So I changed that pretty quickly. Other than that, no real surprises here.

New games on C4C on Sunday morning!
