From the Format section on your first post (bold added for emphasis):

Why did Mr. Gix get a "bye" this round? There are several players now that have 2 lives. According to the rules, shouldn't one of us have gotten the "Bye"?

I use random.org to randomize the pairings, and for some reason I just wasn't paying attention to whether or not we had an even or odd number. I went down the list and made all the games, and realized only after I got to the bottom that there was one left over. I didn't want to re-do ~15 minutes of work so I just let it slip for this round. Next round if there's an odd number I'll make sure to get it right.

and to further resolve matters, seems like siddify has left the site so mr. gix will be replacing him against enormastitz since their set never started.

Glad that worked out then. Thanks for the clarification.

I'm glad I didn't get a bye this round, picked up (at least) 2 more "going second" victories

Just want to say, the format of this tournament really has my interest up in all of the games compared to a normal tournament. Well done so far.
