Soldierforchrist declined the invite. Sometimes its a mistake, I know I've mistakenly done it myself.
Anyway, I sent a pm last night, which still hasn't been opened. If I don't hear anything past a day from when I sent it, I'm gonna start looking for a replacement.
This is why there is a game with an empty spot in case anyone was curious.

basically, until you win a game, you're not in the tournament yet. and winning your first game only moves you to phase 2. so, the game you are playing now, will score some points, but it's just like bonus points for advancing before the final trial games are complete. the players that have points logged at the moment. are the players that won the first round of trial games. since you won the second set of trial games, you haven't had a practice game complete yet. to be clear, trial games do not score points. ( they can take away points still if you accidentally kill someone else's target. ) practice games do score points, but they are not full credit like the phase 2 and phase 3 games will be scored.
i understand it so well, because i made the rules. i get that it's alot to take in because i typed a small novel. but i'll try and make it cliff note style below, and hopefully that helps.
phase 1; trial games. 1st set, Five 6 player games means 5 players advance to practice games, 25 players remain in trial games 2nd set, Five 5 player games +One 5 player practice game. 5 more players advance to practice games, 20 remain 3rd set, Four 5 player games +Two 5 player practice games. 4 more players advance to practice games,16 remain 4th set, Four 4 player games +Two 7 player practice games. 4 more players advance to practice games, 12 remain 5th set, Two 6 player games +Three 6 player games. 2 more players advance to phase 2, and the other 10 miss the cut.
phase one trial games will not be scored. practice games will score bonus points. you can see the points allocation in OP
score table for phase 2, 3, and 4, are all the same. which can be found in OP
so, i feel like i'm just typing the same info at this point as i did in the OP. so i'm going to stop. i think the part above that is labeled phase 1 should be enough to clear things up. i'm going to spoiler tab the rest, because i just think it's quite alot and no one is really going to read it, but at the same time, i don't want to delete it because i typed alot and i'd hate to do all that in vain.
i hope you have a clear understanding now, if not let me know. because i do want you to know what you're doing.
