One late correction: Majors, B. Hinkle - A. Keim, round 6, Hinkle won. The scoresheet said WW, but the final position is a RW, and the cross-table shows that the two-game match was a draw. Such a typo seems like it could be a disaster, but it happens fairly often, so the tournament directors probably don't get their info from the players' scoresheets.

One more anonymous game. This one didn't mention which pieces to ballot off. But usually, that is easily discovered by running up the game. In this case, 6 could have been the Red piece that was balloted off, but that would allow a winning White shot at the end.
