= 1-3. Adelson, O'Connor, Lukacs 1.0
= 4-6. William, L. Moreira, G. Moreira 0.0

The event is scheduled to be a 5-round swiss but could be converted or shortened. Our ad says late-joins will be permitted until the start of round 3 but if no others enter next week the TD will make the tourney a 6-player round-robin.
