It looks like we (Serbia) are going 9-2 Day 6.

[IcePack]

It's been a few weeks...any update?

[sempaispellcheck]

The only Day 6 games still unresolved are in the Cross Cpuntry Relay.
I have not yet gotten around to updating the Synchronized Swimming standings, but will do so ASAP.
Taking into account Day 6's results in Fencing, Shooting, and Show Jumping, the most notable change is that Gabon has leapfrogged Pakistan to take over 4th place overall.
I will issue a more thorough update once the results of Day 6's Synchronized Swimming games have been tabulated and accounted for in the overall standings.

Team Nepal has punched its ticket to the Final Cross-Country Relay at Burundi's expense!
That should, at the very least, narrow the gap between the two countries at the top of the overall standings and make things VERY interesting heading into Day 7.

just saw that. we're doomed, it will be between nepal and serbia for the final win. gg guys.

[IcePack]

I CAN"T TAKE THE SUSPENSE!

[sempaispellcheck]

Day 6's Synchronized Swimming results have been tabulated and accounted for.

Burundi now holds a 7-point lead over Nepal in the overall standings, 310-303, and since Nepal's Cross-Country Relay win over Burundi came in the semifinals of that event, it will trim the deficit by no more than 2 points.
Additionally, with Game 12726016 drawing to a close, it looks like it will be Cambodia facing off against Nepal in the Final Relay.

Day 7 Final Matchups (non-Doubles events):
Fencing: Chewie1 (Puerto Rico) vs. mviola (Serbia)
Shooting: neanderpaul14 (Afghanistan) vs. KraphtOne (Bhutan) vs. TheCrown (Iran) vs. kizkiz (St. Lucia)
Cross-Country Relay: Cambodia (silversun6, benga, Robespierre__, uckuki) vs. Nepal (Leehar, malevolous, nicestash, swimmerdude99)

Teams Still in Contention for Show Jumping Title

Trinidad & Tobago - 87 Event Points
Ukraine - 81
Nepal - 78

Determining who is and is not still in contention for the overall tournament win is beyond my powers of computation, so you'll have to settle for a list of the top 5 teams and the number of Standings Points they each have (this will be edited when the CAM-GAB Cross-Country Relay finishes and those results are accounted for).
1. Burundi - 310
2. Nepal - 303
3. Serbia - 298
4. Gabon - 286
5. Pakistan - 273

Day 7's Fencing and Shooting games have been created, and invites have been sent.
That's all I have time for right now.

[betiko]

How can we still be number 1 after being eliminated by Nepal in xcountry? They really screwed up in show jumping and synchronized swimming or you didn t add up everything?

[IcePack]

Yeah I'm not sure we moved very much in the scoring at all?

[sempaispellcheck]

In the later rounds of the bracket events, the standings don't change much.
Burundi was the #3 seed in the semifinals, and their loss dropped them to #4 - a loss of one Standings Point.
Show Jumping and Synchronized Swimming are where the big jumps and falls can happen.
And yes, Burundi did better than Nepal in Synchronized Swimming on Day 6.

sempai

[betiko]

so we still have our chances, thought that being in 2 events for day 7 would eliminate us virtually from the race with nepal and serbia tailing us and still in 3 events... let's see if we can hold, just one more day!

[IcePack]

It would be nice to see if every team had a perfect score, what the max score for each team would be after Day 7.

Of course, that's almost impossible to answer realistically, but if we throw realism out the window and assume maximum points for each team and minimum for all others, we get the following maximum final scores:

The fact that the massive gains needed to get to these totals are theoretically possible reflect just how close the two doubles events - and by extension, the overall standings - really are.
As you can see, the tourney is still pretty wide open - on Day 7, anything is possible.

Thank you that's great to see mate

[mviola]

Just won the Fencing finals.

[sempaispellcheck]

Just won the Fencing finals.

Congratulations!! You've just won 3 months of free Premium membership!
All prizes will be awarded at the conclusion of the tournament.

NOTE: Since Serbia was the #1 seed heading into the final, mviola's win does not change anything in the overall standings.
