I'm currently moving house with very limited internet access, so this tournament will resume around September 5th!

[Rémi]

[Rémi]

So, what's up ?

[Tupence]

Here are the results for the Final 11 Round: (maximum 4 wins)

4 wins - DimnjacarStef
4 wins - MegsEggs

2 wins - Moonchild
2 wins - croat_ante
2 wins - FTT
2 wins - Rémi
2 wins - i_am_cheri_too

1 win - JunglyBorn
1 win - topper
1 win - Agent 86
1 win - JoJo123

Instead of complicating things with a play-off to find the bottom three, the 4 players with the fewest wins will play the elimination Assassin game! Good luck to JunglyBorn, topper, Agent 86 and JoJo123 who are all fighting for survival!

[Tupence]

Bad luck for JunglyBorn, who got knocked out in the assassin game - thanks for playing.

We're onto the Final 10! The players are currently choosing their maps, then we'll be onto the games. Good luck everyone!

One game is still in play, but if it doesn't change soon (if noone gets knocked out before the end of Round 50) the points will be shared equally and we'll move on!

[Tupence]

Here are the results from the Final 10:

Group A
1st - Rémi - 20
2nd - Agent 86 - 19
3rd - FTT - 15
4th - topper - 9
5th - JoJo123 - 7

Group B
1st - Moonchild - 25
2nd - DimnjacarStef - 17
3rd - i_am_cheri_too - 13
4th - croat_ante - 8
5th - MegsEggs - 7

MegsEggs, croat_ante and JoJo123 will play an assassin game to determine which player is eliminated before we move onto the Final 9!

[Tupence]

Commiserations to croat_ante who got assassinated in the play-off game and finishes the tournament in 10th place. We're onto the Final 9 - 6 games: 3 points for a win, 1 point for 2nd place. The lowest-scoring player in each group will play an assassin game to determine who gets eliminated!

[Tupence]

Congratulations to the Final 8 for making it this far! JoJo123 had already survived 2 play-offs, but her luck ran out this time!

Each group will play 8 games; at the end of the round the lowest-scoring player from each group and the next lowest-scoring player overall will play-off in an assassin game. Good luck all!

what happened to Agent86 ?

I heard that he'd left CC suddenly, then I sent him a PM last week to check and I haven't had a reply, so I can only assume it's true.

[Tupence]

The games for the Final 7 are starting to draw to a close; who will be in the Bottom 3 Play-Off?

[Tupence]

The games for the Final 6 have now finished, and Rémi, FTT and MegsEggs are all safely through to the next round. Moonchild, topper and DimnjacarStef will play-off to see who is eliminated, then we'll be onto the Final 5!

[Rémi]

All games are finished

[Tupence]

Rémi, FTT and Moonchild are all safely through to the next stage. Good luck to DimnjacarStef and MegsEggs who will play-off for the last space in the Final 4!

[Tupence]

Turns out it was 3rd time unlucky for DimnjacarStef, who is knocked out for losing the elimination game after surviving two previous eliminations. Good luck to the Final 4; games will begin as soon as I've received everyone's map choices!

[Tupence]

7 out of the 11 games in this round have finished; here are the current standings:

1st - Rémi - 16
2nd - FTT - 13
3rd - Moonchild - 11
4th - MegsEggs - 9

Remember at the end of the round the Top 2 players will be safely through to the Final 3; the 3rd and 4th place players will play-off against each other for the remaining space.

[Rémi]

Tupence, could you please put a round cap so we can go on ?

[Rémi]

All remaining games have passed round 50

[Tupence]

The games have all passed the round cap so the Final 4 stage has been brought to a close. Rémi and FTT are safely through to the Final 3, and MegsEggs and Moonchild will play-off for the remaining place.
