That was my mistake, I had it alternating for the rows for the entire table, which ends up being opposite for partners. It has been fixed. Ergo Victoriam has requested to have week 5 off, so we've just switched week 4 and week 5 teams around to let them have week 5 off. If any other team needs (or wants) a particular week off, please let me know as soon as possible.
However, we will try our best to have 5 pairs playing each week. This means if a team changes which week they want off, they'll be swapped with another team. If you have no preference on your week off, you don't need to say anything. But if you're set to have week 4 off, and you need/want week 4 off, say something anyways. This will prevent your team from changing weeks to accommodate another team who wanted the same week off.
