Alphabetical Pairings:
The Alphabetical pairings list each player alphabetically by last name (first column).
The second column shows what color they are playing.
The third column shows who they are playing (and their rating).
The last column shows what board number they are playing on.
In the example below, Joe Chessplayer is playing White on Board 1 against Sample Person. Jane Student is playing White on Board 2 against Mary Player.
