Still waiting for bamage to join Game 5047237, it's gonna expire soon. He's premium, so it's not a slots problem

I quit with this tournament, didn't realise the no cards game were so extremely boring and take so extremely long.

Thanks again Oliver for running this tourney! I've played on several maps I've never played on before and met lots of new players. I appreciate how quickly you get back to us on questions. This is quite an undertaking and I think you're managing it really well.

Thanks for your nice words.

It's my pleasure to know that you enjoy this tournament. Because despite I like to run all the stuf and to create all the statistics, the fun would not be complete if my players (or at least most of them) didn't enjoy their time in the tournament.

I know that I still have to improve some points in my tournament orginizing skills. After all this is the first time I do it. But I hope to improve with time.

[OliverFA]

Updated groups 1 to 8.

I have also created a new global player score list for round 1 (in page 1). It will be updated at the same time than the rest of statistics. Acording to this lisr, Vertigo is the top player (congrats Vertigo )

That list is only informative, and just for fun. Because the score that really determines who goes to the next round is the score inside each group. But I thougt you would like to see a global comparison.

Some of you have asked me about the criteria to sort the global score table.

The column Score has two numbers. The first number is the points already achieved by the player, and the second smaller number is the number of points he can still achieve. Scores are sorted first by maximum possible points and second by already achieved points.

This is the same criteria that I use in each group. As you see, at the end the achieved points and the maximum possible points are the same. The only change is in the provisional order.

Why is this game taking forever to start? Game 5084238 If it doesn't start within the next 24 hours I'm going to drop out. Thanks.

Our second game, in our group, the group 20 (we are the one with 0% of progress) is just waitng for one player to start. But the one who hasn't joined already is freemium, and after looking his games he probably will not able to join soon. What we can do??

Hello!

Looks like his game in North America should finish soon, as he is the weaker player. Also, he has a escalating game and they tend to finish soon. I hope that he understands the need of speeding up your group and joins the game.

Hello owenator. Your group progress is more or less aligned with overall tournament progress, so remaining players are not forced to join if they don't wish to. If this changes and the group falls behind overall progress I will encourage them to join.

Updated groups 9 to 16 and global standings

[OliverFA]

Groups 17 to 32 updated. Next update will be on Monday 29th of June

[kennys777]

As our third game comes to a close in the next 24-48 hours, could you start the fourth? I don't think group 4 will mind. We seem to all log in daily!
