One player pulled out of the tournment towards the end of round 3 so didn't feel it was right to bring a replacement in at that time so that player was just removed and all games played by him were awarded to the opponent. Due to this, there will be no cross game between the top and bottom sections this round.
If you win the first few games in each round it generally leaves a feeling of some games later on being meaningless, to avoid this, at the start of round 4, all games will be sent out at the same time and the scores only updated once every game has been completed.
Had a player drop out of the top half of the section so rather than try to find a reserve, I intend to even it up by having the two players that finish last and second last in the 'bottom' section go out of the tournament this round. That way we avoid the games for the players in the top half of the draw from being meaningless.
