Both groups are close.
Less than 1/2 the field will be left to play on for the remaining 2/3 of the tournament.
It's hard to understand why so many good players dislike the alternative Swiss format.
Each competition format has its flaws but the rejected Swiss format has (fewer but) longer matches (which might seem more reliable) and would leave most players in contention for places (including several potential winners, who are about to be eliminated).

The main disadvantage of Swiss is that you have to synchronise everything. With a round-robin, everyone can choose their pace as it suits them.

Since I lost the first board against broze and timed out, and I won by half a matchpoints in the reset, maybe its a good score to be 8-8?
Okay with any result

Those who have qualified for round 2 can start playing their matches. Just a reminder -- another 16 against your group, and 32 against the other group.
