I just want to apologize because I won't be able to take my turns from tomorrow from about 13.00 'till Monday afternoon. I hope I won't make too much trouble with it.

Sent a message, offering help with account sitting, so hopefully edoode won't be missing any turns.

He is covered with the help of my clan mates. As I am playing in the tournament then I preferred not to be the sitter.

I am trying to check games daily, so far it is working. If a game ends then I will be sending out next game right away. Remember, it's a best of 5 series with every player in your group. I won't be updating the image scoreboard too often, probably will do it once in a couple of weeks.

[amazzony]

As I won't be updating the scoreboard too often then I have decided to post about finished matches.

• Day 1. Prel. Pool D. GER vs POL. MyTurnToWin (Germany) has won 3:1 against farinelli (Poland).
• Everybody else playing their first or second set of Day 1.

[amazzony]

Here's a short overview where we are at; along with a scoreboard update (check second post on page 1).

• Pool A and Pool C both have all matches at second set currently
• In Pool B one match will be done shortly (in set 5), the other is at set 3 though might also end really soon
• As mentioned before, in Pool D one match is done. The other is playing their 5th set.

As soon as all both matches of one day are done within a pool, I will be moving on to next set in that pool. Which currently means that Pools B and D will move on to next matches really soon.

[amazzony]

Scoreboard updated because 2 Pools are done with their day 1 (which means everybody has finished one match in that pool).

• Pool A and Pool C both have all matches at second set still
• Pool B and Pool D are both done with their matches so I have sent out first set of day 2 to all players in that group.

[amazzony]

Scoreboard is updated, here's an overview how far all Pools are.

• Day 1 of Pool A is active -> Serbia vs Turkey are playing their second and third game; Austria has beaten Slovenia 3:0
• Day 3 (last of preliminary round) of Pool B has just started (invites for set 1 sent out to everybody); in Day 2 Portugal won against Russia, Estonia beat Czech Republic
• Day 1 of Pool C is active -> both matchups are at their third game, FRA vs FIN has also received their 4th game
• Day 2 of Pool D is active -> Poland has won against Bulgaria with a 3:2 score; Germany and Slovenia are playing their second and third set of their match.

I have sent out 2 games for some matches time to time, especially to those who are behind of others (or just the other match of their group). I do hope it is alright but it makes my life a lot easier.

[amazzony]

Scoreboard is updated again. I uploaded doubles image so decided to give singles another update also.

[amazzony]

I've checked the games and sent out a bunch of new ones. I will be away the whole next week (starting this Saturday actually) so there won't be any updates after this one for approximately two weeks. I will check the games until Thursday (Jan 12) and hopefully all games will begin by that time so the delays of the tournament will be minimum while I am away.

[amazzony]

Scoreboard is updated (done yesterday). 2 matchups are still active, both got their 4th set yesterday so I am expecting to move on to quarter-finals in the next two weeks.

[amazzony]

There's exactly 1 game left to be finished, I've sent it out just a moment ago. Next update when the game is done and then we are moving on to quarterfinals.
