Congratulations to Reapers & Friends; both finalists in the Judo (Men's -60kg) are on the R&F team so they are guaranteed a Gold and a Silver! The Repechage is currently underway to find out who will face tony1973 [UN12] and Enormastitz [AKA] in the Bronze Medal Matches.

I should be able to take the best of 7 set... maybe 5 outta 7.

Where does that place the pack?

Hi, just looking at the women's table tennis, and won my match no 22, 4-3 but don't seem to be in the draw, have I got it wrong somewhere?
You are doing a great job in such a massive tournament. Keep it going, cheers.

Your keeping yourself busy with all these games, good show

Im on the edge of my seat waiting for the final results of the mens archery though...

[Tupence]

I can now announce the results and summaries of the first 3 finished events!

Archery - Men's Team

The first surprise in this event came in the 1st round, when the number 1 seeds (WG) were knocked out by the lowest-ranked UN12.
AKA (seeded number 2) were also close to being knocked out by MU (15th seeds), but won 139-131, the closest match of the event.

Surprise winners UN12 were to be knocked out in the Quarter Finals though, losing with the same score that they won with in the 1st round, 162-108.
In the Quarter Finals, the higher seeds each won their matches, with AKA displaying the most dominant performance, beating NAF 170-100.

In the Semi Finals, the higher seeds were both defeated, with SoH beating KOA comfortably, and a closer match between AKA and DYN, the number 3 seeds.

The Final saw SoH beat DYN by 170-100, the joint-biggest margin. The Bronze match was rather closer, with AKA beating KOA 142-128.

Final Results:
Gold - SoH (Metsfanmax, cookie0117, hrodgar)
Silver - DYN (hotfire, Spino, pearljamrox2)
Bronze - AKA (darth emperor, Razorvich, eddie2)

Shooting - Men's 10m Air Pistol

48 players entered this event, with everyone playing 6 8-player games. Qualifying for the Final was tough, with a few players winning 2 games and still not qualifying.

In the end 355 points was what was needed to reach the final, and 8 different teams were represented by the 8 finalists. Going into the final, Mad777 (NAF) was in the lead, with Raybaer (UN12) 39 points behind. At this point there were only 36 points between 3rd and 8th, so everyone was in with a chance of at least a Bronze medal.

Raybaer won the final game, earning enough points to overtake Mad777 (who came 4th in the final game) to snatch the Gold Medal. Mad777 took the silver, and uckuki (R&F), who was in 4th before the final, came 3rd in the final game to overtake mviola and win the Bronze.

Final Results:
Gold - Raybaer (UN12)
Silver - Mad777 (NAF)
Bronze - uckuki (R&F)

Judo - Men's -60kg

This was a 64-player bracket, with the Gold Medallist having to win 6 games out of 6. The number 1 seed was knocked out in the 1st round, but all of the other top 7 seeds progressed to Round 2.

The 2nd round saw two more of the top seeds fall, but all of the 5 top players still in would progress through Round 3 to the Quarter Finals.

By the time we reached the Semi Finals, only one player below the 6th seed was still in, kmhebert (R&F) who was seeded 41st. Anyone who had lost to a Semi Finalist would play in the Repechage to have another shot at the Bronze Medal. Of the 16 players in the Repechage, totalacid1 (LotZ) and evilkingjay (DYN) would emerge triumphant to face tony1973 (UN12) and Enormastitz (AKA) for the 2 Bronze Medals.

Enormastitz and tony1973 would go on to win their matches and take a Bronze medal each, and kmhebert would beat the number 6 seed, uckuki (also of R&F), in the final to take Gold.

Final Results:
Gold - kmhebert (R&F)
Silver - uckuki (R&F)
Bronzes - tony1973 (UN12) and Enormastitz (AKA)

The Bronzes are the first medals for KOA and TMM so that puts them on the table.
