    I didn't get one, the organizers screwed up and gave me 7 US players when the limit is 6 from any one federation. I would have gotten an 8 round norm as I didn't even have to beat or draw Conrad in the last round - I already performed over 2600

      Isn't it a super-swiss? If there's at least 20 foreign players, it doesn't matter against who you played.

        Naw, some of the foreign IM's and GM's withdrew hence we only had 8 IM's and GM's foreign when you need 10 to make it a super swiss.

          Oh, I see. Usually, Chesstour tournaments are super-swiss tournaments, but I guess they can't prevent foreign players from withdrawing at the last minute. I imagine they would get more foreign players if they offered decent conditions for GMs and not only big prizes. As of now, the Quebec Invitational should be a super-swiss, so you should have at least one other opportunity this summer.
