Any Updates on this?

Cheers!

Thanks for the reminder. Working on it now.

Separately, slytown may have deadbeatted. I know he's had some health issues, so I'm giving him a little extra time. But if he doesn't return, we'll have to adjust from the Denmark match going forward.

Had to remove slytown from the tournament. chidone, as the highest ranking player from the first round who didn't advance, steps in as alternate. Per tournament rules, he gets the 12 points that slytown already won in Nordic.

Germany invites will come shortly.

Additionally, if a player wins Denmark via the 'objective' method, that secures them the 5 points for the win. They must actually eliminate a player from the map to get the +2 bonus.

Scoreboard fully updated. Going to let all the Europa games finish before I send the assassin and 1v1 invites.

Still awaiting confirmation on premium prize.

machrs has deadbeatted so I had to re-work his assassin game into a 3-player match.

Unforunately, there's no easy way to secure an alternate for the 1v1 games. If you draw machrs in the 1v1 matches, you get a bye and a 5-point win. Consider yourself lucky!

Last set of games sent for Round 2. Given Beko the Great's withdrawal, it means the top 40 players will be all players who fall on line 43 and above in the scoreboard. Right now, 37 points is the magic number.

A couple of late deadbeats have prompted forfeits. If your 1v1 game disappeared, don't worry about it.

We are almost ready for Round 3. Again, line 43 and above advance. 37 points is still the cut-off at the moment.

by **Peter Gibbons** on Thu Mar 06, 2014 12:18 pm

40 points is the new threshold.

38 of the 40 qualifiers are known and the draw for Round 3 is partially done. Just sorting out the final couple spots.

Wish you had said that at the beginning of the round!

LittleMao in as a reserve.

All standard games sent for the third round. Will get a little bit further along with these and then create/send the terminator matches.

LittleMao refused the reserve spot. elonpuckhog in as reserve.

wowie Auger ! what a lead ... good work and thanks again to Peter for a fun tourney in progress

Scoreboard fully updated.

Lot of games are about to end around the same time. Hopefully the remaining 7 standard games finish up this week. Assassin games will come once they do. 1v1 games will come once we get close to finishing the terminator maps.

Spots 2-22 on the scoreboard make the final round.

It's not as much of a lead at it looks like as I've completed more games than most others, but thanks though

On a subject unrelated, Peter, will the winner of this tourney be awarded a premium membership?

You know, I still haven't got official confirmation on that. Let me check (again). Last version got a 6-month premium and this one has more games, so can't see why not.

ok thanks - and great job running the tourney thus far - looks like a real ball buster!

Yeah and I haven't been as fast about things as I'd like--new job in real-life and all that sort of thing. Glad everyone has stuck it out. I think the next Round will be fast (once I get the 1v1s out for this round).

All -

Terribly, terribly sorry that life has got in the way and slowed this tournament down to a crawl. I'm going to make the final games for Round 4 now. Hopefully will get us into Round 5 in the next couple weeks and then it's the light at the end of the tunnel.

by **Peter Gibbons** on Sun Aug 10, 2014 9:43 pm

We have a tie for 20th place on 84 points. The first two tiebreaks do not apply, but luckily the third does. t4mcr53s2 and RedBaron0 had 4 common games in the tournament... t4mcr53s2 won 2, RedBaron0 won 1. t4mcr53s2 advances.

5-player standard games about to be sent for the Final round. Everyone is mathematically alive. Realistically, though, it seems a 5-player race at best (and possibly a 2-player race).

Good luck.
