  I like how they did the bracket draw alphabetically LOL. Never seen that before. I was assuming #1 plays 32, #2 plays 31 etc...Interesting way of doing it :P

  Yeah. Looks like they went down the list of 32 qualifiers by leaderboard standing and alternated them 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2.... etc.

  Then placed them in each bracket alphabetically.

  If they would have seeded the tournament normally, it looks like I would have drawn Fmagnets.

  Either way... with the delayed start of this thing, it's likely I won't be able to finish it if I'm fortunate enough to advance much further.

  Lol, they put all the odd number qualifiers (1st, 3rd etc) in one bracket even in the other and then sorted alphabetically as you say.

  Sorry to hear that. It's so WGT to change the game a month after the game has started.

  Simonthebeetle beat me out fair and square anyway. So no "what-ifs" from me, LOL. Great round, buddy! Good luck the rest of the way.

  Congrat's Simon, hope Mags beats you though :-))

  It should be a great event whatever happens, very well done both of you. 

  Great playing Peter, it would be nice if more of the world were able to win, a semi with two players not eligible to win wasn't great nor was a final where the prizewinner was already decided.

  I didn't realise you could play this tournament on mobile.  Anyway it'll be good to see the best pc player v the best mobile player.

  Thanks for the kind words :)

  Sadly Denmark wasn't an eligible Country for this tourny, so it ends here.

  But a very very fine journy for me and a little proud of myself and that is in the end what really counts :) :)
