Sure thing, thanks for notifying!

Scoreboard and gameboard have been updated! I've made a complete check because there's a lot of data in the tournament and mistakes are easy to come with such format. As I was afraid, some scores were off though just by a few points due to following reason: dropouts (got tonkaed, vegnagun and vragus) whose games don't count in standings, some players played against each other twice (only the game that I have in gameboard counted) and just my mistake of writing wrong number in wrong cell/row. Anyways, mistakes are cleared and with the checking I found a few games that need to be played (3 to be exact) because some people had played each other twice (my mistake when sending out games) and therefore they hadn't played with a few (the games are marked in gameboard with brownish colour). So, for now we'll be waiting for the last 5 games to end in round 1 so we could move on to round 2. Players in bold on scoreboard are marked with active games. One person's games are important - saraith. If he wins at least 2 of his remaining games then he reaches 16 wins and therefore advances to round 2.

A few things about round 2 which is also final round. Top 20 will advance there (red line in scoreboard marks it) or 21 if saraith manages to reach 16 or more wins. If there are drop outs then, like in figure skating, it will be called a withdraw and no replacements are brought in. Everybody who advanced will be notified about the 2 month commitment and asked to check if they can finish it surely. With this I'm hoping to avoid any drop outs in the middle of round 2.

I already have a few names who have withdrawn from round 2: KidWhisky and denthefrog. Therefore, in the finals everybody will play 17 games (18 if saraith advances).

I'll set up everything for round 2 and as soon as possible I'll start first games for the final round.

Everything looks great!

... especially with my name at the top! hehe, seriously though, this has been fun. Keep it up!

Thank you!

All 5 remaining games are active so just need to wait for them to finish before we can move on to round 2.

Not that I'm under any pressure, or anything

Nope, no pressure at all... none!

I realise that round 1 isn't over yet but keiths31 cannot commit to the tournament that long so we've worked out a solution which means that he will join all the needed games today and will play them all in the next 2 weeks. So, to get things going, a few of you will get game invites today. Just wanted to let you know so you there wouldn't be any surprises.

Still 2 games active in round 1 so need to wait another few days before we can start with round 2.

Gameboard and scoreboard of both round 1 and 2 updated! I will also try to create first round 2 games today, I'll start today, we'll see how far I can go because I'm quite tired. We have another dropout - cowboyz which means that we'll have 17 players in round 3. Shouldn't take more than 2 months to finish but if you want to end your games faster then drop me a line

Edit. Games made and sent out, fortunately didn't take longer than half an hour.

Will the games with cowboyz in round 1 be discarded?

No. As he played the whole round 1 then the games against cowboyz and other dropouts who advanced to round 2 will count.

I'm about to finish up a 5-0 sweep in my 1st 5 games of the 2nd round. Who's next?

You should know shortly because new games have been sent out I planned to do it yesterday evening already but my laptop's battery ran out before I got to updating

Round 2. Standings updated.

Spoke too soon, gettin' my ass handed to me this time.

You jinxed it

Round 2. Standings updated! Probably no more updates/new games before end of the week, though if you play fast then I'll take back my words and send games out sooner.

Round 2.

I like to juggle on the edge with this, therefore sent out games to almost everybody who had less than 4 games active. I won't bother you for a week now, after that an update and next games

Sorry Joe

Round 2.

I didn't plan to make an update so fast but when I noticed how many games have ended then in the past 3 days then I decided that it's time to update the standings. Just a note, keiths31 and sjnap have finished all their 49 games in the tournament. Others have played between 39 to 43. On the scoreboard, I have a mistake (29 games for Enormastitz, it's actually 39. I'll correct the mistake in the next update).

Round 2.

Top of the scoreboard is really interesting so I thought I'll share it with you - standings updated!

Round 2.

Games end daily now so here a new update of standings.

Round 2.

Games are still ending daily now so here yet another update of standings.

What happens if we end up in a tie? Are you going to see how we did head to head or do a tie breaking game or games?
If 3 way tie (or more) I think it would really be appropriate to play 2 man games all the way through.
So 3 way tie would mean 3 games, etc.? Just thought I'd put in my 2 cents. Looks like it may be close at the end.
