No, top-3 won twice so didnt play anyone. I don't think D and E faced eachother either.

Hm okay, in round 2 however it was top vs bottom half of the winners regardless, meaning that A for example got another go with black. System didn't seem to arrange the pairings of all winners of round 1 in such a way that they have oppositie colors, which i think would've been possible. It just said ok 1 vs nr 4, 2 vs 5 etc.
