2nd Annual Can You Spot The $%#@& Pairing
/It's that time of year again when David Fay sits down and consults with Dick Ebersol Tommy Roy Mike Davis and makes the pairings. And as per tradition, Fay may have embedded a group of not-so-favorite players better known as the $%#@& pairing, though I don't see it. Plenty of other interesting groups though.
Anyway, place your bets and other pairings quirks in the comments section.
