Alan's 1st round opponent was only rated 1561 - had he not played her at all, he would be performing at 2500+ so far, so....
a) with regard to GM norm possibilities, can his 1st round result be ignored? And also
"1.46c
For the purposes of norms, the minimum rating (adjusted rating floor) for the opponents shall be as follows:
Grandmaster 2200
International Master 2050
Woman Grandmaster 2000
Woman International Master 1850"
So for GM norm purposes, the 1561 will count as a 2200.
