If sides are unknown, "2" is playing "2" in game 2. A challenge has a letter, so "a" has challenged "a". *(n) Person has refused "n" challenges (by lack of response) -(n) Person has refused "n" challenges (by lack of time) + Person is on holiday at the moment Persons, who refuse 5 challenges in a row will be dropped to the lowest rank, unless they have informed the coordinator of a temporary absence. ?(n) "n" unsuccessful tries to send email (host or user unknown) Entries marked with ? are not counted as a position when looking for a person who is higher on the list. They will be dropped to the lowest rank after some unsuccessful tries to reach them. Finally, they will be removed from the list. Free games : 1 33 38 39 40 41 43+ Challenges : r+ If there are any mistakes, please let me know immediately. If you want to assign yourself a grade (or change it), let me know. You can challenge anyone up to 5 places above you. Please keep me informed of challenges, accepts, refusals, results, and *very importantly* failure of someone to reply a challenge.
