ready for the siege game

Duckers...............3 out of 3
EckoJ..................3 out of 3
Army of Achilles....1 out of 2
Gordito................1 ...

Duckers and EckoJ have started fast out of the blocks in the finals and each have a 3 out of 3 score so far. Is this a sustainable break, or will the peleton start to reel them in? ;)

Standings so far are in Section 2 of the opening post.

The pjk/homer_jay tiebreak is still in progress, so we ...

Well done to Diamonds14 who beat DomQuebec in the last phase 2 game. Diamonds finished 3rd in the group, just 1 point short of making the finals.

We still await the outcome of the pjk/homer_jay tiebreak.

In the meantime - the finals have begun!!

count me in please TC

Brit Isles league
escalating, chained, sunny

RKCVED has beaten poisonous86 in the last Group R game, putting poisonous out of the running, and so congratulations to Duckers who qualifies for the finals.

The tie-break between pjk and Homer_Jay still needs to be played. As soon as we have a result there, the finals will begin.

The list of ...

It's my pleasure, guys, I've enjoyed it. And I certainly will send you invites when I host another one.

count me in with Achilles and Moose

I like your stats Harry and the work you have put in to the tournament and the frequent updates. I will definitely join future ones you host. BTW - I blame my missing the finals on not being able to tell the difference between Barbarians 4 and Lake Minstello 4. Oh well, I mix up countries all the ...

In Group S: Thischarmingham has beaten t-o-m, putting t-o-m out of the running, and so congratulations are due to DomQuebec and thrillomania who qualify for the finals.
InGroup R: The game between poisonous86 and RKCVED continues tp rage back and forth. Recall that poisonous needs to win this game ...

Thrillomania has won his last game against Diamonds14 to finish on 9/14. This puts Diamonds and White Moose out of contention, and it seems very likely that DomQuebec(9/13) and Thrill will progress. Only t-o-m(6/11) has a chance of sneaking in and forcing a tie-break if he wins his last three games ...

Just 13 games to go in phase 2.

News from Group R is that Duckers has pulled out all the stops and won his last 3 games to reach 9/14. This puts gudor and humanist out of the running. Poisonous86, meanwhile has found some new life in the game he seemed to be losing against RKCVED. If Poisonous can ...

Things are starting to hot up in Group S. Thrillomania has 8/13 and Dom Quebec, White Moose and Diamonds 14 are level-pegging on 7/11.

In Group R, it looks like Humanist will take his last game against gudor, and RKCVED will beat poisonous, so we are all set for a 3-way tie for second place ...

Thanks guys - I appreciate your comments.

I'm more looking for specific suggestions though? How should we do things differently next time ?

Congrats to Army of Achilles, EckoJ, fatharry and gordito who have all secured their places in the finals.
13 players are still in contention for the remaining 4 spots.

Group Q: fatharry(11/14) and gordito(10/14) have qualified for the finals.

Group R: Army of Achilles(10/12) has qualified. Gudor ...

God i hope we dont get eliminated because after me talking all this smack i'd never hear the end of it!

mmm ... not looking pretty... only question is: are dog and downfall gonna give you guys a beating (4-3), a whipping(5-2)or a thrashing (6-1)?

Pity though...Achilles and I were looking ...

Of the more than 900 games played so far in this tournament, only 38 still need to be completed before phase 2 draws to a close. 2 of the 8 places in the finals have already been filled, with 15 players still in the running for the remaining 6 spots.

Group Q: fatharry(11/14) and gordito(10/14) have ...

Group Q: gordito and fatharry look like qualifying for the finals, but Bigragooch can force a play off if he wins his last 3 games.

Group R: Army of Achilles is almost a certain qualifier. 5 players still in the running for the other finals place, with Gudor and RKVED having the inside lane.

Group ...

We are almost 3/4 of the way through phase 2 - and there is still everything to play for. Army of Achilles has left the rest of group R in his dust, and he looks like a shoo-in for the finals, but the battle for the other 7 places in the finals continues to rage fiercely. See section 2 of the ...

See Section 2 of the opening post for the latest standings.

Here's a huge sigh of relief from Achilles and me.

And here is a salute to our outstanding opponents: Grond2cd and Alexinho

We were lucky to scrape through 4-3.

Pity these guys had to be knocked out in round 2 though - they are superb players in this format.

Standings have been updated in section2 of the opening post.

We are nearing the half-way point of phase 2 and the leader-boards are starting to take shape. A couple of the more fancied players have a bit of catching up to do to make the finals :-). 22 games still need to be completed from the first 2 cycles, but we will send out the next cycle of games ...
