Explanation: In total we had should have had 30 games (6x6 games - 6 = 30 games.) and 26 have been played except for 4 games unplayed because one participant withdrew.
I guess next time we should be a little less ambitious and have a single round robin or play more than one game a night.
Here's a game from the tournament:
