Walkovers are not the same as byes

A bye refers to a team or individual automatically advancing to the next round of tournament play without competing. A walkover is the awarding of a victory to a contestant because there are no other contestants, or because the other contestants have been disqualified, or have forfeited, or have withdrawn from the contest. The byes in this tournament are not walkovers. Byes are not walkovers.

I am genuinely questioning the use of walkover in these grids.

Is there anyone who can defend their usage in these grids? Kingturtle = (talk) 14:15, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, walkover is not appropriate here. Greenman (talk) 17:23, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was odd, but didn't argue because I thought it was one of those words whose usage varies from country to country. But since the official tournament tree calls them byes [1], I agree it is better that we do the same. Adpete (talk) 01:55, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seeding uses the June list, not the July list

Someone in the last couple of days has incorrectly re-ordered the players in the "Participants" section. For instance, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave has a June rating of 2760 [2] and is the 7th seed, but someone has put in his July rating (2749) and incorrectly demoted him to 10th seed.

OK, luckily I think it was only in the most recent few edits. I have undone all these edits: [3] Adpete (talk) 01:04, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
