The newly created Honduras & Caribbean Islands
Game 3012149 started with new entries [player]wijotoma[/player] (HON) from Honduras, US Virgin [player]jackupton[/player] (ISV) and Antiguan [player]dcozyone[/player] (ANT). Last player in the game is [player]dcozyslayer[/player] (ANT) who's already in his second game as he also was in the Caribbean Islands
Game 2968154 in which 2 other Antiguans were disqualified and the game was cancelled for the Tourney.
Another new game started as I created an extra game for the South Africans that all wanted to play as replacement for [player]cjoe[/player] (RSA). In this new
Game 3014449 the best 2 will qualify to face 7 other South Africans in the 2nd stage for one ticket to the Main Event.
Also the Other Africa & Oceania
Game 2968732 started. After days of swimming in the river Nile, crawling through the Sahara Desert and climbing the Kilimanjaro no one from Africa could help me to replace Egyptian [player]Himawaw[/player] (EGY). So Jordan major [player]riskconquerer[/player] (JOR) was allowed to take the free spot. And we are back to 75 countries again! (It were temporarily 74 as British Virgin [player]thenikfox[/player] (BVI) was replaced earlier.)
[player]MEK[/player] (USA) was eliminated by [player]lukethespy[/player] (USA) in Round 5 of the United States Group 6
Game 2961708. With 5 cards and holding the Southwest [player]lukethespy[/player] (USA) is one of the favourites for this game.
In the North Central American
Game 2967704 Nicaraguan [player]Sid Caracas[/player] (NCA) did a good job by eliminating Guatemalan [player]pps[/player] (GUA) in Round 8. As the other 2 remaining players are both from Honduras, [player]Sid Caracas[/player] (NCA) automatically has a ticket to the next stage, as the best 2 players from different countries qualify.
Cadet [player]Qorten[/player] (BEL) is definitely the most dangerous player now in the Belgium
Game 2962938 as he has eliminated captain [player]japser_be[/player] (BEL) in Round 6.
At the Iran & Indian Subcontinent
Game 2967091 [player]leyla[/player] (IRI) eliminated only Sri Lankan player [player]risky4me[/player] (SRI) in Round 5. It seems she doesn't understand that her chances for qualification are bigger when she eliminates the other Iranians first.
Highest ranked player in the Tourney [player]Me-Da-MiNoRiTY[/player] (NZL) was eliminated by [player]n8dog[/player] (NZL) in Round 7 of the New Zealand Group 1
Game 2968100. The remaining 3 players are secured now to go to the 2nd qualification round. Russian Colonel [player]Beadle[/player] (RUS) who's ranked 59 is now the highest ranked player that is still active in the Tourney.
[player]Fortworthian[/player] (USA) & [player]JohnTheBrit[/player] (FRA) were kicked out for missing too may turns and definitely deserve their spot in the Hall of Shame.
