Hey Vincent,

Just wanted to check for the DQ options.

What would be the "N" option?

Thank you,

Options are:
- WD: Withdrew self
- DP: Deck Problems
- PE: Procedural
- CD: Card Drawing
- MC: Marked Cards
- SP: Slow Play
- UC: Unsporting Conduct
- C: Cheating
- N: No-show/tardy

WD is the what should appear 99% of the time.

Send the archon to if you think it should work properly.

How does one enter data into the Archon in this situation.

9 players start and finish 1st round.
3 players unfortunately have to withdraw, leaving 6 players left

For the 2nd round, does the top person have a bye and the other 5 players play the 2nd round? Or is there some other way to do this and if so, after putting WD for the 3 players leaving, how would you enter into the Archon?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Well, I hope this situation doesn't happen often

For the second round, you should go in the "Round 2" sheet and edit manually the column "#" by entering the number of the players that play. The sixth player doesn't play.

For instance, you should have "9 4 2 8 6" and "5 3 7 1" for tables 1 and 2. Change the first five lines to the values of the remining players, and erase the number of table 2.

You'll also have to override the round in the "Override" sheet so the archon doesn't get stuck, waiting for the second table.
For that, you just have to create two lines, the first for "Round"=2 and "Table"=1 and the second line for "Round"=2 and "Table"=2 (the "Explanation" column isn't mandatory).

You can also play a 6 players game, but that isn't supported by the archon.
