Ladies and gentlemen... let the final stage begin!!
Thank you everyone for all your words of appreciation, me and Carlo are very glad you enjoyed the competition so far, and it means a lot having feedback from you.
I entered the final results for Round 7, and all the qualified players are now in the final stage bracket, following the rules explained in the first post.
We had to apply some tie breakers, so I am going to explain how they were applied:
Group 1
No tie breaker was necessary, since the top players all have different points.
Group 2
3 players had the same amount of points on top of the leaderboard: gladstonescrewer, fly58 and laute.
First tie breaker is the direct elimination match, but we had a tie also in this case, as we have each player with one win over the next one.
Second tie breaker is the most round played:
gladstonescrewer played ALL rounds and thus has been assigned first place.
fly58 only missed ONE round, and has been assigned second place.
laute did not play THREE rounds, and has been assigned third place.
Group 3
jsweetcr had the same points of bigknight.
Since jsweetcr won the direct match, he has been assigned the higher rank.
Group 4
No tie breaker was necessary, since the top players all have different points.
Congratulations to all players who made it to the finals, and a BIG thank you for all the players who dedicated their efforts in this competition so far!
We will be posting a message soon, with a few comments on the groups leaderboards and calendars, and also a few guidelines on how to proceed with the final stage.
Best of luck on your knockout round!!
