Registration closed. lukeconquer and keiths31 in as reserves.

Posting groups now. Games will be sent when I have privileges. Good luck all.

[Peter Gibbons]

Invites have been sent as private reservations. Hopefully everyone will join within 24 hours and we'll be good to go.

Halfway home with the first round. Scoreboard fully updated.

There seems to be some slackers in the finals. Been sitting at 2 open spots for a few days now

Not slackers. I just sent the games early because it looked like the first round was almost over. But Group 4 is taking longer than expected (and there's one more game to decide Group 2). Hopefully we'll have the last two qualifiers by this weekend.

Just noticed that the finals are gone from my waiting games. What happened?

The games automatically disappear after a set period of time. Group 4 is taking far longer than I wanted it to (or it should--seems everyone is taking 20 hours per turn). We still need those games to finish before we have a 6th player.

I will now just re-send the games when Group 4 finishes. Hopefully, that's sooner rather than later.

Ok, sounds good.

Everything in the first round is complete. Re-sending finals games shortly.

Well, there are 7 points left on the Archipelago map. lipsondavid would now win any relevant tiebreakers, so unless Cubs24 gets all 7 points on the final map, lipsondavid will be tournament champion.

I think that last round should do it. Great tournament, all. And thanks again, Peter, for running the best tournaments on CC.

[Peter Gibbons]

That does do it. I will update the final scoreboard when the game finishes but, we can now say...

Congratulations to lipsondavid for winning Initech V: Fantasyland!

GOLD: lipsondavid
SILVER: Cubs24
BRONZE: -=- Tanarri -=-

lipsondavid had a relatively dominating performance in the final 6-person group, clinching victory prior to the conclusion of the last game. His two early wins on CCU and Migard got him out to a nearly insurmountable lead. Cubs24 and -=- Tanarri -=- both won map wins to close the gap, but it wouldn't be enough. After winning a hard fought group in the first round to advance to the finals, lipsondavid was a deserved champion.

Tournament statistics for all the finalists:

1. lipsondavid - 10 games, 6 wins, 31 points
2. Cubs24 - 10 games, 3 wins, 17 points
3. -=- Tanarri -=- - 10 games, 3 wins, 16 points
4. arouser - 10 games, 4 wins, 21 points
5. ZionT - 10 games, 4 wins, 19 points
6. coacheberhardt - 10 games, 3 wins, 11 points

Congrats again to lipsondavid and thanks to all for playing.
