Below are results of matches 129 to 256 of Round 1 with the same legend as explained in the previous post.
Summary of all games is that 32 matches got sent reinvites due to be 2-2 tie, 33 matches need replacement due to player missed invite and 191 matches are already decided.
Next step is compile list of reserves and fill the 33 matches which need reserves.
If someone still wants to join as reserve, please post it here.
Then, we will start sending Round 2 games for those who already have determined opponents.

Why look for reserves at this point? This format doesn't need reserves. If your opponent does not show up you win and go to the next round. With this many players there will always be a bunch that doesn't show up.
Besides, putting new players in now is unfair, since you based the original seeding on rank.
Apart from everything else, it also make this tournament last even longer.

I will accept your suggestion from round 2 onwards. As for round 1, there were already reserves waiting to join from a long time ago so I gave them chance and extended the list of reserves to some of losers from the play-in round.
I fully continue the tournament, apologizes for delay.
There were need for 34 reserves, and I found them according to this criteria: 1) signed up players who still did not have chance to play, so there were originally signed up as reserves. 2) Players who initially scored 2-2 in the play-in round and were then eliminated in second set matches.
Based on (1) and (2) I found 32 reserves but there were 34 empty spots. Therefore, I also compiled random.org list, from players who score 1-3 in the play-in round and choose two "lucky losers" from the top of the list as replacements. However, two more of players who initially accepted invite left the site so I needed to extend list on 36 players, who were seeded by score as reserves, as follows:
The remaining players who scored 1-3 are still on waiting list, for the case that someone of currently invited players do not accept invite, in the following order:
This means that the tournament will progress quickly from now on because whoever does not accept invite will quickly be replaced by a reserve from the above list.
Round 2 will also be launched soon, as soon as everyone accepts invites from Round 1.
Thank you for your patience, I had hard time in my personal life. From now on, this tournament will be updated regularly and proceed quickly.
236 of 256 Matches from Round 1 have determined winners and this is draw for Round 2 which starts this weekend. 20 empty spots are the ones where player advancing to Round 2 is not yet determined.
Our second round (?) match ended in a draw. Not sure what happened - thought I was already out of the first round and into the second, but maybe this is still the first round?
Hey, I had issues with my electric power today and missed invites for the tourney. Couls you resend it. Also I tried to join manually but it required password.

A relationship is like playing doubles *flat rate or esc*..If you don't have a good partner, you better have a good hand!
