Methinks that the final scores will be (out of 14):

1] 10
2] 8.5
3] 8
4] 7.5
5] 7
6] 6.5
7] 5
8] 3.5

I haven't seen the strength of the players (therefore, I can't guess who will get what), but I think I'm going to get 4-6 out of 14.

I do fine the first games, but I can't keep it up. After the first 2-3, my brain sorta shuts down and I miss key moves. Since there are going to be 14 games in all (for each person), I highly doubt if I'll do well. But then again, winning that first game as white is fairly key, or getting a draw/win as black is also important. See the recent FIDE Championship in Tripoli for details, where they had a similar bracket system as we do.

But, I want to wish everyone good luck, and let's see some good fighting chess

I hope no one goes for quick draws.
