The coin toss duel went in favour of chuvash.

Now that's weird you two agreed on playing several time and still didn't play then Fonseca changes his times everytime Koras agrees on something. That's weird.

The wild card tournament has been approved. Sign ups are going to start tomorrow. Tournament starts 18th of July at 17 GMT. Check out the tournament section!

Any sport has predefined rules how they handle situations like this and the rules are not always the identical. So does this cup and the main post says:

Quotein case there will be people with same amount of points in a (finished) group the won/lost rounds will be considered. Won rounds minus lost rounds equals the difference. The player with the higher difference proceeds. If the difference is the same a tiebreaker will be played.

I agree DxL's behaviour is very unsportsmanlike. Hopefully you can get to play with him, if not he'll be banned in my next cup.

if i beat dark and he lose vs joschi,i am second,coz u need use logic,u ccant watch who have beat some1...looki have lose vs cinek,but he have lose vs dxl,and ih ibeat dxl i have better games 2;1 2:1..if we have same number of win and loses,u need count rounds,coz circle is closed...cinek beat me,dxl beat cinek,and if i beat dxl i am 2nd

Zoky, I am perfectly aware of what I have to count and you are not entirely right with your calculation. It depends on how you and Joschi beat DxL. Look here:

1. If you and Joschi both beat DxL 2-1, then DxL is second because he will have one more round won than you.

2. If you beat DxL 2-1 and Joschi beats him 2-0 then you are equal and both second, means you have to play a tiebreaker.

3. If you beat DxL 2-0 and Joschi beats him 2-0 or 2-1, only then you are guaranteed the 2nd place.

or 4. You beat DxL with any result and DxL doesn't play with Joschi at all. Your score will be compared to Cinek's and it looks pretty good for you then.


See, you have to look at every perspective.

Yeah, zoky, your case is really a tough one. Theoretically if DxL plays and loses both games 2-0 you'd indeed come through. On the other hand if I have to disqualify him due to inactivity, then, some might disagree with me, but I will have to reverse the result of his game with Cinek to Cineks advantage as well. This would make Cinek second. It's very hard to make the "right" decision.
I know it's harder than it sounds but I have to ask him you to grab him by the balls and get your games played with him. And then, even if he doesn't play Joschi, I will compare your and Cinek's scores. However if you can't find him I have to suggest you to take part at the wild card tourney on Monday even though it's probably not your fault.  

Speaking of devil, the wild card tournament will start at 17 GMT.



All players with one or less game played till Monday 00:00 GMT are not welcome to take part at the next cup I am going to host. Whatever scheme it will be. (With few exceptions I will announce on Monday)

12 CEST (current Polisch time) is 10GMT.

Depending on how you define "sunday night", Fonseca, it might be too late.

WormNET doesn't work and someone said the problem would not be solved before Monday...

Seems to work perfectly fine now. Deadline stands.

If you don't arrange the games at this forum as I suggested, then don't be surprised if I choose the more active players before anyone else. If someone refuses to play you for reasons like those you mentioned you should report it here right away. It is up to the players to keep the moderator up to date. Since I'm not omniscient and neither of the other three felt like I needed to know what they are at, letting Husk advance appeared to be the best idea and no reasonable person shall argue against it. Don't complain about your own missteps.

If K4Tsis was indeed refusing to play Kayz when he had the chance to then he should consider himself warned.

Fanx, Mab.

One more thing concerning the wild card tournament. The rumour that one already qualified player will drop out seems as good as confirmed. Thus Monday the 18th a tournament to replace this person will take place. I want to ask what starting time do you prefer? 18GMT? Make some suggestions I'll roll with the majority.

It's only a little more than 4 days left until the deadline, so I thought I'd give you a little overview who would proceed to KO stage if no further games are played. And I want to mention that activity pays off.

Group 1

Since Domi isn't able to play his games Uzurpator will claim the top spot with Nail being the runner up. No problems here.

Group 2

There are Kayz, K4Tsis, Warg having 1 victory out of one game each and Husk with a sad score of 0-3. So you'd think I pick two of the first three guys, right? Wrong. Husk is the only one having the courtesy of playing all of his games, which is more important for me than having one win. If nothing is going to change I will make him the top dawg of the group. As for others I'll probably make a three way coint toss battle. Don't make me do this and play your games.

Group 3

Mablak is the obvious winner. However I'm not sure who's going to be second. Activity and winwise it looks pretty ok for Fonseca, but we will wait and see.

Group 4

Unless DarKxXxLorD decides to make the best of his spare time Joschi and Cinek will proceed.

Group 5

TenoriTaiga - 1st. But who then? Monojonkka or chuvash? Or maybe even Killer? Who knows. I highly recommend Monojonkka and chuvash to play their remaining game.

Group 6

Khamski and Rafka finish your last game. You're both quite active players and there's plenty of time.

Group 7

All games played, so nothing to say apart from the obvious.

Group 8

Kalababa claims the high seeded spot and then it's probably going to be Pizzasheet, because he was putting a freaking lot of effort to get all of his games played and that's highly appreciated.

I repeat one last time: games reported beyond the deadline will not be accepted. If there are any pending results and you can't finish the games then report the unfinished score shortly before the deadline. Play all games and don't make me do some crazy decisions.

Oh, that's very unfortunate, domi. I have to grant the others 2-0 wins. Better luck with your availability next time.

I have a little announcement to make.

There are rumours that a player, which already has qualified for the knock out stage, won't be able to continue playing this cup after the group stage. If this rumour becomes a fact I will create an open one evening tournament on 17th or 18th of July to determine his replacement. Only those, who aren't alredy qualified for the knock out stage are eligible to take part.
So stay tuned!

When I open a cup I expect the participants to play their games in time while following the rules and at least sometimes check this forum. soldier seems to have troubles with the latter two. Although it might sound a bit hard: disqualifying someone for "mouse walk", but I made my point very clear. Meaning: I am excluding soldier from this cup.

Oh Pizza-Pizza, you used the wrong scheme, maybe you missed that it was updated, because it was wrong first. There aren't supposed to be crates falling at all. Please download the right scheme. Only because the outcome of the first round wasn't influenced by crates I grand you the 1:0 lead in this best of 3 series, but, please, use the right scheme next time and finish the the best of three.
