Scores are updated, not including the one just above this, it happened while I was doing it. :/

I apologize for NOT updating as frequently as I'd like right now, but it's a chore just to be able to get ON. My internet connection is freaking out the last week and a half, ONLY during the afternoon and evening hours. The TECHS can't figure it out, they've been looking at it.

No divisions have a locked winner yet, although one or two are looking likely. I will try to update this over the weekend.

Musteriuz won Game 5387563.

[Kinnison]

Scores Updated. 31 games to go. Heading to work, I will do a more detailed analysis on Monday afternoon to see if we have any finalists locked in yet. Finals PROBABLY will start NEXT Thursday, based on progress so far... it might be this week, even.

[Kinnison]

Scores updated again. The excel spreadsheet is accurate. The POINTS are accurate here, but the number of games remaining is NOT... that will be corrected within 12 hours, I need to get to my home machine to be able to do this in a fashion that doesn't involve counting each player's games individually (a chore, even with game finder). Will have more commentary then.

[Kinnison]

Scores fixed.

We have two division champions to crown:

Fire Division Champion: wolfpack0530
MeDeFe can still put up an impressive score, but eliminations in wolfpack0530's remaining games GUARANTEE a minimum of 6 more points, enough to lock up the division.

Metal Division Champion: danryan
danryan simply outperformed the other players in his division, racking up tournament points enroute to advancing.


Air and Earth Division are both 3-way battles for the title still, and Water is down to a two way race between what could be the two highest scorers in the tournament...

Congratulations to our two (so far) Divisional Winners. All Division Winners are reminded they can reselect any of their settings for the finals, and No Spoils WILL be an option for the final round.

The finals will be much the same format (7 or 8 games a week for 5 weeks), but the opponents will NOT change during those 5 weeks... so let's try and play nice. I'm sure there will be some cabin fever and frustration, playing that many games against the same foes.


Finals expected to start September 3. You may PM me prior to that date with your Home map/settings for the finals. If No post or PM is received, I'll make the games using the elimination round settings you've given me.

[Kinnison]

Okay, score update! Sorry about the delay, this was a CRAZY weekend for me recently.

No new division winners.

Air Division News:
Hacx5nine, who was right on the bubble, has seen that bubble burst and can no longer pass CulsDeSac for the Air Division title. CulsDeSac still holds the lead there, with only Frito Bandito to contest it... but Frito needs a win in all 4 remaining games to take the division. There is no possible tie.

Earth Division News:
RoOkAz won the last game pending to get maximum score... but two others still have the opportunity to pass. Cant call this one yet.

Water Division News:
More points on the board, but dragon dor won a 5-player game for the big 18. While behind in the current standings, dragon dor is running close, and with ANOTHER 5-player game pending, has the possibility for a HUGE score.

Will update as the situation changes...

[Kinnison]

Update:

Two more games finish, no changes in eliminations or division winners.

[Kinnison]

10 games left.

Still no changes. Sadly, there's about 4 of those games that REALLY matter, as they have some of the major contenders facing each other in the final round... But the ARE some others that can have an impact as well.

[musteriuz]

Musteriuz won Game 5331280

[Kinnison]

Some scoring activity...

Air Division: With the Elimination of Frito Bandito from the remaining 5-player game, Culs De Sac locks up the Air division championship.

Earth Division: RoOkAz has been passed, formally eliminating him from contention.


Earth and Water divisions are still under contention. 8 games remain in the elimination rounds.

[Kinnison]

Sadly, nothing new on the game front to report, not even any new eliminations in the 8 remaining games.

HOWEVER...

Dittoeevee8888 is out of Premium, and has said renewal is not happening in the near future.

Thus, regardless of Dittoeevee8888 or musteriuz winning Earth division, musteriuz WILL, in fact, be advancing to the finals. Congratulations!


So there is only one finalist remaining to be determined.

[Kinnison]

One more game finished, no impact on the standings for the finals...

The score sheet is updated, and the new version of excel (07/Vista) has done something AWFUL to the colors. They're alright on my display, but ruined for google docs. I'll fix it for the next update.

[Kinnison]

One more game complete... still not setting the final standings.

The Battle between WPBRJ (final score 167-172) and dragon dor (final score 167-192) continues...
