I thought the two games I was in were going well ... then Round 2 dice might have decided both in favor of my opponents.
But on to things (some of) you all care about. It's time for the statistics update.
Well, I am afraid that this round had a huge number of casualties compared to what I expected. With 116 advancing, Tviorr's guess of 121 came closer than my guess of 123. This round actually clocks in at the second lowest advancement rate of the entire tournament falling behind only Round 6 from which 81.255% of players advanced.
Round 1 had 2507
Round 2 had 2057 players, which is 82.050% of the previous round
Round 3 had 1687 players, which is 82.013% of the previous round
Round 4 had 1398 players, which is 82.869% of the previous round
Round 5 had 1147 players, which is 82.046% of the previous round
Round 6 had 932 players, which is 81.255% of the previous round
Round 7 had 776 players, which is 83.262% of the previous round
Round 8 had 642 players, which is 82.732% of the previous round
Round 9 had 543 players, which is 84.579% of the previous round
Round 10 had 450 players, which is 82.873% of the previous round
Round 11 had 385 players, which is 85.556% of the previous round
Round 12 had 325 players, which is 84.416% of the previous round
Round 13 had 274 players, which is 84.308% of the previous round
Round 14 had 226 players, which is 82.482% of the previous round
Round 15 had 193 players, which is 85.398% of the previous round
Round 16 had 166 players, which is 86.010% of the previous round
Round 17 had 142 players, which is 85.542% of the previous round
Round 18 had 116 players, which is 81.690% of the previous round
Undeterred, I'm sticking with my prediction and going to guess that 102 players advance next round (87.5% of this round). Bring it on Tviorr.
