All invites for Batch 2 are out. Please accept. If invites are not accepted, it may be a few days before I can get back to invites (big power/internet outage in my area).
2 games still going on in this round. I have not yet scored any of this round. If I don't get it done next week, it will have to wait until after my honeymoon.
I reviewed the potential fog violations in batch 2. I determined that no violations occurred that had a bearing going forward. There are a few players that violated the rule, but they would not have moved on anyway. It is important to note that when Fog is present in this tourney, the fog rule will be in effect (whether it makes sense to you or not). If you don't know what the fog rule is, please PM me.
Now, here are the standings as of the end of round 2:
Bahrain has requested to be removed from the tourney. He would be replaced by marshallbobby, but he deadbeat all his prior games in this tourney so he is also out. Osok68 will step in and will retain the amount of money he currently has.
Games for batch 3 should go out tomorrow. I am contemplating making a few tweaks to the tourney to get the later rounds to move faster.
There will be a small tweak to this tourney. At the completion of these 5 games, the top 12 will advance to round 4. Rounds 4-7 will be played at the same time (All 12 player games). I'll then take the top 8 to the finals as described.
Top 12 moving on to round 4. As a reminder, the four games will all be sent at the same time. Also, executive decision has been made to revert to the bonus structure from the first round for this round. Games going out this afternoon.
All games for the finals are out. We were unable to use the manual setting. I tried to mix up the player list a little bit so you wouldn't get all 13 games at once.
