Below will be the RD. 2 May slow pairings and standing. I would like to think everyone that is participating in this tournament. It is nice to see such a great turnout for this tournament.

I would also like to say RD. 1 had a few surprises as far as match results. This should be a very interesting may tournament.

Good luck to everyone.
