     * round not played  - bye round  (They pair 1st round and after that, finished players pair themselves with whoever is available until everyone has played
each other.)  No clocks, time limits, or lunch breaks, this way those who want to take a little longer can, and once the game is over, they record the results and move on to the next available players.
