This isn't a breakpoint at present. The 2nd batch of games in the round of 16 has yet to come out.

If this was a breakpoint, then the 1st tiebreaker would be percentage of games won overall and the 2nd tiebreaker would be the speed of your victories (fewest rounds.)

We've been ready to send the 2nd batch for a few days now, but we've had a rash of people letting their premium lapse. Everybody please check your expiry date and make sure your premium isn't running out.

From the autotournament page it says everyone is premium?

Yup, I got confirmation that the last two renewed yesterday.

Next batch should be starting today.

Due to violation of the sitting rules, Leehar's team forfeits all 7 of its current games.

Ah well, at least it reduces my game load, doesn't actually cost any points from losing games, and may make the tiebreakers slightly easier!

Yeah, amigo, I felt bad having to do that, but my instructions when I took this on were to interpret rules strictly.

I'm glad you're taking it in good spirit and looking for the bright side.

These two games are complete but did not auto update on the scoreboard:

Game 14766192

Game 14766139

There is really only one active game left in the round of 16.

on a related note, I'm really surprised about how many matches went 8-7. It shows that there's mostly no clear winner here.

By my calculations the standings after the first knockout stage should look likeā€¦

1. Josko.ri Moonchild Rodion 24/33
2. prismsaber Foxglove agonzos 23/33
3. hayesez Veni Vici Vidi Culham 22/33
4. angola jetsetwilly hyposquasher 19/33
5. zips5000 jackal31 RKCVED 18/33
5. Peter Gibbons Superwang Gilligan 18/33
5. Umbrellaman generalahole evildoer 18/33
8. Tin Trumpet shoop76 SpiteMalice 17/33

Obviously, a lot is gonna depend on how Dukasaur calculates the 3 way tie breaker.

Also, my work should definitely be checked. I donā€™t think I made an error but I could have.

Nicely done.

I'm curious if there's a forecast about when the next set of games will start for those that advanced? I'm not in a hurry, but we know it will be quite a few games at once so having an idea of when they're coming would be helpful. Thanks!

I would say a week. No less than four days and no more than twelve.

Games soon, Duka? :) It would be awesome if we could get the next round started so that everyone who plans to go on vacation over Christmas doesn't have to forfeit all of their games because of the sitting rules.

I agree. This week has been killer for me and a lot of things are behind, but these games should be out shortly.

I regret to inform that our team (angola, jetsetwilly and me) will be dropping from this tournament. The reason is that my premium expired recently and I don't plan on renewing soon. Partially due to my own lack of time for CC and partially due to frustration about changes to the site that always seem to diminish my enjoyment here, but that's a conversation for another time.

Congratulations to our adversaries in this round of the tournament (zips5000, jackal31, RKCVED). No one should feel that they got a free pass. They played incredibly well in the first half of the games and beat us 7 games to 2. We would need to win 8 of the next 10 to beat them. They could be replaced with cooks and dice alone might get them the 3 wins they need to advance. So congratulations to them on a deserved advancement in this tournament.

Good luck to all who are left, and remember to have fun :)
