Pairing the Third Round

Now we "stretch" the pairing rule by looking further down the list to find the next available person after competitor five. In this case, it turns out to be competitor seven, Greg.

Now we apply the rule (in the normal manner) to the remaining competitor, Enrique, and match him with Hiro. Everyone is now paired correctly.

[Worksheet for round 3] Again, we often use a worksheet so that we can do our crossing out, back forcing, and erasing without having to mess up the bracket.
