Was there an odd ending to the Women's Championship? According to the table at the ICU ratings website, a number of players seem to have withdrawn and/or were given byes in the final rounds. No games are recorded for Round 5 - was it actually played?

It was round 1 which was cancelled technically.

There were issues with the venue on Friday evening, and given the small numbers, the organisers decided to make it a four-round event from the start, with the first round on Saturday morning.

Brief bit on ICU.ie (news article dated 10th July)

A few seem to have withdrawn alright. But been given full-point byes?
