After 9 rounds players 19, 23, 25, 28, 29, and 31 don't make the cut with [Scrub??] 68 being the lowest ranked player who made the cut. Notice that both the players rated 23rd and 25th at the start of the tournament have now been ejected from the cut. They were in the cut after 7 rounds and now they aren't. Let the complaints that the longer tournament screwed them over commence LOL
I went to ten rounds including fighting TMS which insists on messing up the pairings since round 7. fortunately it was only messing up the very worst player so wasn't too hard to fix.
after 10 rounds the following players still miss the cut :-
19th
28th
29th
31st
The worst player who made the cut was ranked 49th
I suspect that it will take a very very large number of rounds before the TOP32 has settled to just the best 32 at the begining of the tournament. Sadly as the number of rounds increases TMS just gets worse and worse. At least after 7 rounds the best 16 entrants will make the cut. So my belief that the swiss is primarily to eliminate the weakest and let in a small number of wild cards seems justified. The common sense and obvious approach of changing the swiss to match play and more rounds just doesn't work.
