Congratulations to [player]earlybirdbrew[/player], [player]bobafart[/player], and [player]tecoman[/player] for advancing to Round 2 from the Octavius group.

[player]penelepe[/player] has been dropped from the tournament for failure to join their games.

I guess this is what I get for allowing newbie freemiums into the tournament.

I dunno how you handle these things but I am being what I would call griefed in my groups first round of games by a player called HighlanderAttack.

You probably can't do anything and that's fine, i would just like to give the issue some visability since it's not really in the spirit of gamesmenship/fariplay.

[MrGlassB]

I've already posted in game chat.

MGB

[Lootifer]

Yeh it's fine, no point taking it further.

Thanks

[MrGlassB]

I've updated the first post with the results so far. Only two of the groups haven't completed a game, and two others have completed all three. So if you're interested in the current standings, check it out.

MGB

[MrGlassB]

Updated results. Three more games left for Round 1.

MGB

[MrGlassB]

Just waiting on two games to finish to setup Round 2.

MGB

[MrGlassB]

Still waiting on those 2 games. They started later than the rest, which is contributing to the delay. One of them looks like it could be over soon. The other one is still pretty even. I'll keep an eye on them and get Round 2 started as quickly as I can.

MGB

[MrGlassB]

Added a bracket to the first post for those that like brackets (like me).

Groupings will be randomized every round, though. So, the match ups you see for round 2 are not necessarily correct at this point.

MGB

[MrGlassB]

One of the games finished. I've updated the points to reflect it.

MGB

[MrGlassB]

I see the other has finished. I've been out of town and will get Round 2 started tomorrow.

MGB

[MrGlassB]

Round 2 is underway.

[player]japser_be[/player] has failed to join any of their games after 3 invites and has been removed from the tournament. Players in the Camps group, please drop the 6-player games and join the new 5-player games. Thanks! I dropped the 6-player games entirely.

Esc + points for placement seems a bit random to me, but oh well, ill take my win and bugger off

I suppose you have a good point. I didn't think about that. Maybe I'll use flat rate next time. I was just trying to avoid games getting stuck.

Invitations for final round games have been sent. Good luck, guys!

[MrGlassB]

And we have a tie. [player]seechster[/player] and [player]Pheonix.bradley[/player] will play a single tiebreaker to determine the winner.

Congratulations to [player]seechster[/player], our tournament winner!!

Thanks to everyone that participated!

Please, do let me know if you'd be interested in playing this tournament again should I decide to run it a second time.
