How do I sign up for the Test Swiss? I'm already registered for Challonge

The Test Swiss started without you. I need to enter some fake results to determine if it pairs up in round 3 based on strength of schedule.

I feel confused aswell with all these pages & threads. I'm in the 100 aswell but i just don't get how i sign up if i'm missing something, etc... :P

There are two weird matchups in round 2:

Larry (5) vs R2D2 (1) - There were 7 players with 5 points after 1 round, the other 6 got paired together but Larry skipped all the 4 and 2 points players...
Rockbozo (4) vs Boromir (0) - Same here. 7 players with 4 points, 6 of them paired together. Larry should've played Rockobozo.

Larry played Boromir and R2D2 played Rockobozo in Round 1. It might be related.

Round 3 is consistent with the rankings. Players got paired with an opponent with +/- 1 point if no opponent with the same number of points could be found.

A bit more research on Challonge has convinced me that it's the system we will use.

So, if you want to play in the World Championships, then you need to sign up there: http://www.challonge.com.

The actual tournament sign-up will be put up on Challonge tomorrow. In the mean time, here are the things I will need to confirm your participation in the World Championships:

1. Forum Name
2. In-game Name for the account you will be using (only one account per entrant)
3. Email address for the account you will be using
4. Username on Challonge

Ideally, 1 and 2 and 4 all match, but they don't have to.

DON'T SEND ME THIS INFORMATION YET. Just have it ready.

Unless you have earned free entry to World Championships (you will know if you have), then you should have 500SC in your account ready to be taken from there. If you don't have the 500SC when sign-ups open, don't sign up.

Everything will be explained in lots of detail tomorrow, so don't worry if anything doesn't make sense right now.

That's quite weird. The round 3 pairings seem correct though.

You imagined a draw for yourself?

Draws are not a valid result in this event and require the game to be replayed.

Yep. I thought to have some variation :P I'll try to fix it.
