A Trip up the Nile [Winner: joriki]

I never typified a tiebreaker policy as it never was necessary in Round 1 (though there were close calls). I'm going to say that higher-place-finishing is the tiebreaker. If that doesn't solve issues, a 1v1 match on an Egypt map of my choice (likely the one they both did worst at) with the tournament settings will be played for advancement.

I don't understand what that means.

In your examples, the person who finished 1st twice and 3rd once would be higher than the guy who got 2nd three times and third once.

Scores updated. Two groups have already been decided (one by finishing all 4 games fast as heck), while two remain up in the air. Gilligan, why am I not surprised you're in the group that hasn't finished anything yet?

You afforded them no mercy, joriki. Won all four games...

Now all we have to do is wait for the cursed-to-be-slow Group Met Somnt to finish any of its games.

I also got the maximum difference of 9 points to everyone else :-)

That wasn't planned, though -- I didn't have the luxury of choosing whom to take out first in the last game, which was much closer than the others.

Alrighty, in accordance with tie-breaker policy, madman7 with 2 1st place finishes (compared with no 1sts for fbonsignori) advances to the final round.

Here's who I've got for the Final Round:
Zorbas
joriki
madman7
TFoote

Congrats to the advancers, and thanks to everyone who didn't for participating!

I just eliminated blue in the last game in the finals, for a total of at least 9 points, whereas the runner-up can get at most 8 points by winning the last game -- so I think that decides the tournament.

Technically you were the winner when you took 2nd in Lower Egypt and 1st in both Upper and Nubia. I'm waiting for the last game to finish for the sake of completeness.
