Yearly contest updated with June results.

The new Bye Rotation List has been posted. As previously decided prior to the Club Championship, this list will be used to assign full-point byes when there are an odd number of players. We'll try this for the rest of 2010 and have a vote at the end of the year on whether we want to continue or not. The order was determined at random except that players that have already received multiple byes and unrated players were placed at the bottom. The following rules apply to this list:

This list only applies to monthly Swiss events (not any one night events)and will not be used for the last 2 rounds of an event. Normal assignment of byes as per USCF rules will apply.
A person forced to take a bye will drop to the bottom of the list.
If someone volunteers to take a 1/2 point bye so that everyone else has a game, that person will drop to the bottom of the list. You cannot volunteer for a full-point bye.
