in please

Sorry, shoop76--hate to deny you but you're the 25th person. You'll be the first reserve.

[Peter Gibbons]

Tournament full. Groups drawn and posted. Will request tournament privileges and send games this weekend. Good luck to all!

[morleyjoe]

I'll be a reserve too!

Sounds good. Looks like most everyone has joined the games so far, but be on the lookout for the next two Initechs. Initech IX will have a few more players and Initech X will need 48, so there should be plenty of openings.

[Peter Gibbons]

Scoreboard fully updated.

[Peter Gibbons]

Updated again. Group C is done, so congrats to the four who have advanced.

I believe I have 13 points. Is there any way you can post a link to all the games? That would make it easier to go through and count.

My mistake... missed the elimination in France. Though you advance anyway, so it's not a huge matter right now. It could affect tiebreakers later so thanks for picking it up.

I'm not going to post links to all the games--seems like unnecessary work. When I go looking for them, I just use the game finder and filter by this tournament. To me, that's way easier than searching for this thread. I find it easier to get to the thread FROM the games--rather than vice versa.

Cool. Thanks for hosting this. I'm sure it's a lot of work.

Congratulations to lipsondavid, champion of Initech VIII: Mediterranean!

GOLD: lipsondavid
SILVER: mzomboracz001
BRONZE: bkwill

An appropriately tight final group among four deserving finalists ended with lipsondavid emerging victorious and capturing his second Initech title. lipsondavid, mzomboracz001 and bkwill all scored two victories in the finals, but lipsondavid's additional four eliminations was the difference maker in this terminator tournament. Having dominated the first round with 20 points and then advancing through his semi group with bkwill, lipsondavid was a deserving champion. Full results for the final group:

1. lipsondavid, 21 games, 6 wins, 45 points
2. mzomboracz001, 21 games, 5 wins, 36 points
3. bkwill, 21 games, 7 wins, 39 points
4. LucaV, 21 games, 6 wins, 31 points

Congrats again to lipsondavid and thanks to all for playing!
