[barterer2002]

Well a more precise search reveals 3 active games

OK I'm getting up to speed, 1 game is past the cap, the other two are in rounds 33 and 34 so should get there soon

I don't see why the tournament is labeled as abandoned. He posted that he was waiting for the games to finish.

This tournament is now labeled "Needing Rescue". If it is not rescued within a week it will be considered abandoned.

Unfortunately the original TO was not able to continue his tournaments.

It's not abandoned. I don't see where it was ever listed as abandoned. I'm rescuing it as conquerAce can not continue.

OK the Round 2 matches are out

[kuma32478]

Some of our games haven't been joined yet

[barterer2002]

all round 2 games are running

[barterer2002]

So the point total in this thread is set up for 6 player games
Win on Standard = 7 pts
Last Killed = 5 pts
Fourth Killed = 4 pts
Third Killed = 3 pts
Second Killed = 2 pts
First Killed = 0 pts

We need to adjust this for the 5 player games in Round 2 and the 4 player game finals

So for round 2
Win on Standard = 6 pts
Last killed 4 pts
Third Killed 3 pts
Second killed 2 pts
First killed 0 pts

In the finals we'll use
Win on standard 5 pts
Last killed 3 pts
Second killed 2 pts
First killed 0 pts

[barterer2002]

5 games still running

[barterer2002]

we've got 3 Round 2 games still going. All have reached at least Round 19

[barterer2002]

Luxemborg has reached Round 35 and phillip has failed to kill Geno, Geno is unable mathmatically to kill phillip so they'll both get 4 points and the standings are completed for Group 2.

Group 1 is still playing Das Schloss-round 32

[barterer2002]

Waiting on Das Schloss to finish up.

[barterer2002]

OK no points to anyone for Game 7597075

[barterer2002]

The 4 finals games are running. Phillipm has been knocked out of Haiti but that's the only elimination so far.

Game 7597075 Das Schloss

[barterer2002]

At this point Viperoverlord has built up a lead that cannot be challenged. With 1 game left he leads by 6 and since the winner only gets 5 (and that Viper will get at least 2 from that game) we can go ahead and crown him champion now.
