what the hell is going on in group H? sportsgod24 has won all 5 games that have finished so far. thats insane!

I think 2 people have won 5 out of 6 games in previous rounds, but noone has won all 6 yet. Will sportsgod24 be the first to do so?

[Tupence]

There are only 2 games in Round 8 still in play, so all standings have been updated while we're waiting for them to finish. Congratulations to sportsgod24 who has become the only player so far to win all 6 games in one round!

[Tupence]

We're onto the Quarter Finals! At the end of this round the top 3 players from each group will go through to the Semi Finals, along with the 3 best scoring other players. Good luck to the 18 players!

[SuperWang]

Just to clarify, this means that the top 3 in each group in total points accumulated throughout the tournament advance?

Plus 3 best scoring players? Also accumulated through all rounds or just this one?

Thanks

Yes total points; all points in this tournament are cumulative. If there is a tie, the player who scored the most points in this round will go through.

[Tupence]

We're onto the Semi Finals! Since Round 6 big jumbo has been dominant and now has a 16-point lead; can anyone catch him? There is a maximum of 72 points available in this round; good luck to the last 12 players!

[Tupence]

After 2 years, 144 players have been knocked down to just 6! The very best of luck to big jumbo, Edd1, overlander, dowian2, aligator_al and drunkmonkey in the Grand Final round; 10 games on World 2.1!

The current standings look like this:

1st - big jumbo - 386
2nd - Edd1 - 371
3rd - overlander - 367
4th - dowian2 - 365.5
5th - aligator_al - 362.5
6th - drunkmonkey - 362

A win is still worth 8 points, so each player could gain up to 80 points in this round. Well done to everyone who has made it this far!
