Okay... a LOT of the standings are incomplete... so first, let me clear that up, including the prior errors in the records:
...And Excel is giving me fits while I try to get this in, so I'm making it simple.

Read the rows across, the # is the # of games won in the match. If red/bold, the "away" game was won for the bonus point (only applies if match was won).

systemex14 loses the tiebreaker to stavros.maginty on both head-to-head and total games won (3-0 and 8-7)


Round 2: Knockout Round
note: systemex14, (D, 5th seed) is replacing shoop76.

A1 v B4 : HighlanderAttack v Lensois : HighlanderAttack
D2 v C3 : tokle v sandman175 : tokle

C1 v D4 : 4red v BigPoppaT : 4red
A2 v B3 : GeneralJestrix v acores2005 : acores2005

B1 v A4 : abygorb v mwaser : abygorb
C2 v D3 : Krissan v stavros.maginty : Krissan

D1 v C4 : systemex14 v al12 :
B2 v A3 : jricart v join cad : jricart

Due to mis-ranking in the first round, jricart/acores2005 and BigPoppaT/stavros.maginty were seeded into the "wrong" games. However, all those players were scheduled to advance, and the games have been played... as such, the results will stand. Last Games of round 2 going out in moments, Round 3 games that can start will follow shortly.

I finished second in my group, shouldn't I face the 3rd place from another group in the quarter finals? As of now, I'm facing the group winner.

[Kinnison]

I'm basing advances on how he did it in the 2010 CC MANUAL Championship... In that case, once the elimination seeding was done, it was played out as a straight bracket from that point, no re-seeding.

Does it really matter--u still have to win to advance--be like me--Oh I won my match

lol, no it doesn't matter. I'll still beat you in the finals, no matter who I have to face on the way there...

[Kinnison]

Minor note, before anyone asks: al12, as freemium, had apparently (erroneously) been informed he hadn't advanced in the tourney. He's got both invites AND autojoin links for his games, and will be joining as soon as he can. If the games time out due to age (14 days), THEN I'll consider them forfeit... but he should be available much sooner.

To keep things from getting too far ahead, I'm going to hold off on issuing any Semi-Final games just yet. Yes. If i really wanted to push things along, i could continue, but I'd rather even the brackets back out.

Next update on Monday.
