round robin." [Friend at Court Reg. II.B.6.d.] Therefore, if a
player or team defaults, they will not be allowed to play the
Rounds following that defaulted match, and if subsequent matches
are played, the draw will be changed to show default(s) which will
result in win(s) for the opposing player(s) or team(s).
