Conquer Club

Harry, again thanks for putting this together. I want to applaud you for all your work on this. It has made this very interesting and enjoyable. Please keep me in mind for any future tourneys that you do. I'd like to follow this one to the end. I too was in group R tough group it was great competition. many many thanks RKCVED

enjoyed the tournament and the play. updates were precise and timely. look forward to more. please keep me on your invitation list. thanks

It's my pleasure, guys, I've enjoyed it. And I certainly will send you invites when I host another one.

RKCVED has beaten poisonous86 in the last Group R game, putting poisonous out of the running, and so congratulations to Duckers who qualifies for the finals.

The tie-break between pjk and Homer_Jay still needs to be played. As soon as we have a result there, the finals will begin.

The list of finalists is:

Army of Achilles
DomQuebec
Duckers
EckoJ
fatharry
gordito
thrillomania
pjk or homer_jay

Well done to Diamonds14 who beat DomQuebec in the last phase 2 game. Diamonds finished 3rd in the group, just 1 point short of making the finals.

We still await the outcome of the pjk/homer_jay tiebreak.

In the meantime - the finals have begun!!

Duckers and EckoJ have started fast out of the blocks in the finals and each have a 3 out of 3 score so far. Is this a sustainable break, or will the peleton start to reel them in?

Standings so far are in Section 2 of the opening post.

The pjk/homer_jay tiebreak is still in progress, so we still do not know who the 8th player in the finals will be.

pjk has won his tie-break and joins the group of 8 for the finals.

Duckers and EckoJ are the current leaders, each on 3 out of 3, two points clear of the rest of the field.

Duckers...............3 out of 3
EckoJ..................3 out of 3
Army of Achilles....1 out of 2
Gordito................1 out of 3
Thrillomania..........1 out of 3
Fatharry...............1 out of 4
Pjk......................0 out of 0
DomQuebec.........0 out of 2

Duckers has finally had a loss, courtesy of Dom. So EckoJ is the only undefeated player so far.

Just 2 games in the first cycle are still in progress, so I will send out the next cycle tomorrow.

Things should start moving along a bit more quickly now.

Army and Thrill have completed their games. Well done to both of them for excellent performances!

Army has set the bench mark with 9 out of 14. Only EckoJ and pjk still have a chance of catching him. Pjk can take the title outright if he wins his last 4 games, while Ecko need to win his last two to tie with Army.

It is possible we may end up with a 3-way tie. In that case, the 3 players will play a round robin between themselves, 1 games per pair. If that finishes 1,1,1 - the cycle will repeat until one players wins both his games in the cycle.

In the case of a two way tie = the players will play a best of three to decide the title.

Dom has requested a few days leave before starting his last few games, so there will be a short delay.

pjk also need to join games - are you around, Pete?

Yep, pjk has beaten Ecko, so Ecko is now out of contention.
As Army points out, only pjk can catch army now, and he need to win both his games - against me and Dom.

Good Job Achilles! Way to go!


and a very special thanks to FATHARRY for hosting the best tourney ever!

Harry you the bomb!

Thanks again for running the tournament Harry

Definitely a ton of top competition in this one

I guess DomQuebec was right that round robin was a better format than a bracket tournament given I finished 3rd in both of the one's I ran

Big congrats, Achilles!!! Thanks for a great tourney, Harry.
