I will break it up for u.....keep up the good work, this is by far the best 1v1 tourney I have been in....go Tampa Bay Lighting...

I second that sentiment, a good fun & fair tourney all round, kudos Serbia. Standings are really starting to take shape now as well, top four teams from each conference are lookin' good!

[Serbia]

Thanks for the compliments guys! I do appreciate it.
[player]tnekzai[/player] has gone missing, so [player]Night Strike[/player] has replaced for him.

Yeah, that's the hope. He ended up deadbeating quite a bit.

Standings have been updated. I hope to get games made tomorrow; today is busy for me IRL.

[Serbia]

Alright, standings updated. Off to get drunk at a friend's house, so I'll make games tomorrow (while battling the inevitable hangover). Happy 4th of July weekend to everyone, including my non-American friends!

[Serbia]

Standings are updated. There are only two weeks left in the regular season, so these final updates will include honoring the teams that have made the playoffs. This week, congratulations go out to three teams:

Dallas Stars - [player]Tripitaka[/player]
Washington Capitals - [player]Conchobar[/player]
Edmonton Oilers - [player]spidey[/player]

[Conchobar]

YAY! Now what is the president's trophy & what do I get if I win it?

it's the trophy that you get for having the best record. what most teams usually do with it is not win the stanley cup. lol

Yes, this is correct. Had I been thinking ahead, I would have put in a request for a medal for the winner of the President's Trophy, but I didn't do that before the start of the tourney. Fail on my part. My next season, I'll definitely request it though!

Standings are updated again, and I'll update some more playoffs teams!
Congratulations go out to the following:
Washington Capitals - [player]Conchobar[/player] has clinched best record in the Eastern Conference, which also gives them a first round bye

Dallas Stars - [player]Tripitaka[/player]
Ottawa Senators - [player]Didacus[/player] - both of these players have clinched best record in their Division, which also gives them a first round bye

The following teams have also made the playoffs:
In the East:
New York Islanders - [player]deanof7[/player]
Tampa Bay Lightning - [player]IR1SH ACE[/player]
Carolina Hurricanes - [player]Vaicius[/player]
New York Rangers - [player]mviola[/player]
New Jersey Devils - [player]denominator[/player]
Florida Panthers - [player]ckyrias[/player]
Pittsburgh Penguins - [player]mcshanester29[/player]

And in the West:
Detroit Red Wings - [player]Serbia[/player]
Calgary Flames - [player]amazzony[/player]
Colorado Avalanche - [player]RedBaron0[/player]
San Jose Sharks - [player]deantursx[/player]
Anaheim Ducks - [player]chapcrap[/player]
Columbus Blue Jackets - [player]dazzla35[/player]

Games will follow. This is the last batch of games. The next update won't follow until either all games are completed, or the standings are set. Good luck everyone!

[Conchobar]

Yeah a special achievement medal would've been cool for the President's trophy after such a long season. But i'm not too put out since it'd belong to Tripitaka after his highly impressive record wrapped up something like 65 wins. Bamboo jack as a home map was a clever choice but you can't argue with his away record as well. So come on somebody knock him out of the playoffs before I have to play him!!!

[Serbia]

Only one thing I have to correct you on there - Tripitaka is actually a "she".

So we've got only 2 games left now, New York Rangers at Philadelphia, and Nashville at Dallas. The only one that makes a difference in the standings the Predators vs Stars game. If Nashville wins, they finish 9th; if they lose, Los Angeles finishes 9th. So once that game ends, we'll know the who's playing who in the 1st round of the playoffs! And at that time, I'll post the final standings, and the playoff bracket!

[Conchobar]

A she!? That changes everything!!! Just kidding
Can you give me some idea of roughly when the 2nd round of the playoffs will be? I'm away camping on the coast of Portugal from the 4th - 11th Aug & unfortunately my tent doesn't have wi-fi!

I wish I could give you a clear time frame, but I can't. I will tell you this much, however; the first round can't start until the remaining games are done, and the one in particular doesn't look like it'll end any time soon.

And also, since you gave me advanced warning, we should be able to work around your schedule - I'd rather put your games off for a week, than knock you out, just because you're being totally awesome and vacationing in Portugal!

[Conchobar]

Ok sound, i appreciate that. I've a friend who will sit my account but i don't want him taking my 1v1 tournament turns. So cheers! You deserve a Beamish for that!

[Serbia]

I really do need to find myself some Beamish!

Alright, standings are updated, and the playoffs have begun! Congrats to everyone who's made it this far. To the 6 who failed to reach the playoffs, thanks for gutting it out for the long haul, I really appreciate the dedication.

The top 8 teams get a bye this round. Check out the grid on the first post for updates!

[spidey]

is the brackets actually like that or will the first place person get to play against the worst of the teams left, and so on and so on.
