Reminder – the delay rule: If you believe you are going to delay the tournament by more than 7 days in any one round, or by more than 10 days cumulatively, please withdraw so the tournament can proceed in a reasonable timeframe. A “delay” is any additional time beyond 7 days between matches. Example: the tournament begins October 1, so if your first match is played on October 10, that is a 3-day delay. If your next match is then played on October 22 (12 days later), that adds another 5-day delay, for a cumulative delay of 8 days. Just one more 3-day delay after that would exceed the 10-day cumulative limit.
