Thanks to everyone who supported the event! I really enjoyed organising and playing in it! Planning another event at the end of June - details to hopefully follow shortly.
Before the final swiss round (round 4), there were still 10 of the 14 players that could make the top 4. With so many possible outcomes it certainly was exciting to the run up to qualification (and a bit of a headache for me and Alex!)... and then of course the armageddon matches - which certainly didn't disappoint. White got a huge score, perhaps players were too confident they could just "shut up shop" and draw!
For those playing/spectating, let me know if you could think of any possible improvements for next time. Obviously it was a very different format to usual so I'm sure there is room for improvement!
Thanks again to everyone - fantastic weekend!
