Both triples are wins, the doubles is a little hairy currently.

Yeah, just that one doubs went astray. Still an excellent result though, 1 x doubs 2 x trips 2 x quads for 11 valuable points. Well done everybody

Standings may be found here:

https://challonge.com/WorldCupofRisk/standings

The top four teams go into a playoff (1st vs 4th and 2nd vs 3rd). It's very close between places 3-6 so we still have to perform to secure our place in the finals.

1st France 145pts
2nd Greece 126pts
3rd UN (us) 121pts
4th Japan 120pts
5th Swe/Nor 119pts
6th Canada 115pts

Our last three opponents are NA/Cascadia (8th), France (1st) and Greece (2nd) so it's going to be difficult for sure.

We need to secure a good points win vs Mexico in this current round to leave some space between us and 5th place.

Our nearest rivals have the following final four fixtures:

Greece - Balkans, Canada, USA, UN
Japan - NZ, Aus, Balkans, Canada
Swe/Nor - Den/Nor, Netherlands, Switz/Spain, Mexico/SA
Canada - France, Greece, Ireland, Japan

Swe/Nor have the easiest run to the line and will surely climb the table. Canada might do us a favour vs Japan (their own chances are slim as they face very tough oppo). I reckon it will come down to us having to beat Greece in the final fixture, it will be that close.

Hope the above raises your spirits and stirs your blood

[Chariot of Fire]

The two quads will be wins and we're now starting to get ahead in the remaining trips, so it's another win with an 8-4 scoreline (unless the trips goes pear-shaped in which case it would finish a 6-6 tie). Good job folks!

[iAmCaffeine]

We’ll win that trips too. If you’re talking about ours.

[Chariot of Fire]

Yep, we will indeed. Foregone conclusion now. 8-4 final score

[Denise]

Do we need to get our teams set for R16 soon?

[Chariot of Fire]

Sorry, been away on urgent/important matters and never had the chance to organize the teams for the next round. Can anyone tell me what happened? Thanks

[iAmCaffeine]

No idea but I'm in at least one game.
