Can you not max the next round at 20 rounds per game? 50 or so would be much better. 20 is way too short for non-escalating, 90% of games are just going to the limit and the last 10 or so rounds (half the game) are just everyone stacking. Really not very fun or indicative of skill.

Or at the very least the 30 mentioned in the set-up.. 20 is far too few rounds to suicide on another player and recover for the win

No, I will wait for more of the games to finish before starting that. Given that only 30 people are being cut this round, I think any 1 win is likely enough to progress.

So, how close are we to the end of round 1? And when can we expect to start round 2 (just to manage the game load)

Wont be able to start round 2 until all games have finished, and some games are not close to ending currently.

7 games remain active, all except one are close to the round limit. I shall start work on the Round 1 scoreboard soon, and perhaps I can partially start Round 2 early while we wait for that one game to end.

Thanks for the update (One game still far from ending...whoah!!)

Yeah. This is why we really need the lower round limits. Even with a 30 round limit some games take a significant amount of time to finish. I have concerns over whether it will be possible for us to complete this tournament on schedule.

Clearly the length of round times for this tournament were underestimated upon design. Having spoken to bigWham about the scheduling of this tournament, he has agreed a restructure should occur now to bring the estimated completion date closer to what was intended.
What I am going to do is essentially remove what was previously listed as round 2, collapsing the tournament into 5 stages rather than 6. The main difference that only 60 participants will now advance from round 1 rather than 90. In a 120 player tournament, I feel this is a fair compromise. All 7+ player games will also have a 20 round limit for the rest of the tournament, at least until we are ahead of our completion target, to prevent games from lasting for too many months. For games with 6 players and under, I shall try 30 round limits, as they should still take less time than the larger games.
Sorry to make changes after the start of the tournament, but having seen how long round 1 is taking has brought my completion estimate to an unacceptable place, so this restructure is necessary, and it's better to make changes sooner rather than later.

here are the current top 60 by score. This excludes the 2 remaining active games: 14548710, 14507315 so the last couple spots could still change. If any qualifying participants fail to accept invites, 61st position will be invited, and so on.

You realize that the games are taking
longer because of the round limits, right? After round 10 there's no reason to attack anymore, so everyone sits there. Without the limits (or at least 30+) you'd see the games ending much faster.

Without limits games could last over 100 rounds and take years.

I am still waiting on round 1 to complete.
You got in because lot of the qualifiers failed to take their invites, so the threshold for getting through round 1 is not too high.

This being the CC Championships and the recent development of
tourneys with CC Credits being dolled out.......
I believe all CC Champions should have Credits for a prize.
Could it be possible to revamp the prizes for these?

I started round 2 early for some players while waiting for the final round 1 game to end (and with it the final qualifier). It is taking a long time. When it ends, I will make the remaining games. Sorry for the delay, but it cant be helped.

Rolling out the Round 2 games now, expect to have them all sent by the end of the week. A number of players have accepted invites to some of their games, and failed to take invites for others. If anyone thinks they missed/declined an invite and want another contact me asap.
