Scoreboard updated for WB2 and LB1, we're nearing the end of both of those rounds!

[rjhankey]

Scoreboard updated for WB3 ... LB1 awaiting the results of the tiebreaker yet ...

[rjhankey]

The group tiebreaker from LB1 has finished far enough I'm now able to move us into LB2! Updated scorecard is available. Good luck to those who continue on!

[Gromph]

last game in WB4 is done, i won in 8 rounds

[rjhankey]

Updated scorecard is available.

WB4 is finished, and I'll get WB5 started soon, I'm not in a big hurry since the Loser's Bracket side is not quite as far along.
We have started the 3-player group tiebreaker in LB2 to determine the 8th and final player to advance to LB3 from there.

Updated scorecard is available.

LB3 is now underway, and Gromph has won in WB5. He will await the winner coming out of the Losers' Bracket, once we play through LB3, LB4, and LB5.

depend how fast u won, the goal of the tournament is to be the fastest winner

won both in losers bracket guess i move on?

You notched one of your wins in 4 rounds, so it seems likely you'll move to the next Losers' Bracket round, the 4 fastest will go to LB4 and join the 3 losers from WB4, and the slowest winner from there too.

Scorecard updated -- LB5 being determined by a group tiebreaker, then we'll start the championship round!

[Gromph]

hi, for the championship, if the player from the winner bracket lose vs the winner of loser bracket, does he get another chance since its his first lost ? It ussually works like that when there is a winner and loser bracket, but it does not seem clear in ur rules

[rjhankey]

Hi Gromph -- that's a good question, and I do see your point -- however, when I first put these two tournaments together, I wasn't planning on giving the winner of the Winner's Bracket two chances. I'm going to stick with that original plan, since the winner of the Loser's Bracket could have likely won a bunch of extra games to get through that extra gauntlet to reach the championship.

Hope that clears up the championship format! After all, the championship is a 4-game series with a tiebreaker if needed (basically I suppose I could have made that a best-of-5 series), so you don't have to win all your games either.
