Still awaiting privileges but here are the results from random.org to decide the groups:

dkmaster
King Engineer
CaronylKluster
updalions

molespe
Endgame422
jackal31
JPlo64

shaneback
MyTurnToWin
dlaves
Kexor

Tazzy_J
biscuit boy
b00060
SuperWang

Remember the top two players from each group will advance. Schedules are up for the group stages. There will be five days between each round.

[iAmCaffeine]

First round of games are done.

[iAmCaffeine]

Round two invites created. Group tables will be updated as each round finishes.

[iAmCaffeine]

Given how slowly the majority of games are progressing, and the fairly high load, I'll delay the final group batches by a couple of days.

[iAmCaffeine]

Final round of group games are out.

[iAmCaffeine]

b00060 missed first set of invites. Re-sent.

[SuperWang]

Any word on who progresses from group D? 3 way tie, not sure on number of away games won and H2H is the same.

[iAmCaffeine]

Group D is complete with a very close battle for second place, but SuperWang advances through behind Tazzy_J, as he had the most away game wins; all head to heads between the three tied players were equal.

Groups A, B and D are all complete. Although A and B both have one game still active, the current standings cannot be changed; in Group A updalions can equalise in points with dkmaster but lost in the head to head, whereas in Group B the single game will not change any positions.

In Group C the top two players are decided even though two games remain; Kexor could maximise his lead or shaneback could equalise, in which case a best of three series will have to be played to see who finishes top, as all other tie-breaker conditions are even between both players.

My last comments about Group C were slightly incorrect. One more game has finished which sees shaneback equal Kexor at the top. Kexor has one game ongoing against MyTurnToWin which is likely to be a win, but they also have a game left between them which will see Kexor increase his lead or shaneback to equalise (assuming the game against MTTW is won).

If I win the game against Kexor, won't I be the group winner because of head to head? I will be 4-2 against him

That's correct. My post before this was wrong.

[Electricksabers]

kexor is going to win, should be over shortly

[iAmCaffeine]

With just one game remaining between Kexor and MyTurnToWin we can move onto the next round as it won't affect the current standings. Since this round is seeded, this is how the matches shape up:

JPlo64 (13) vs SuperWang (8)*
Kexor (13) vs dkmaster (9)
shaneback (12) vs jackal31 (10)
Tazzy_J (12) vs King Engineer (11)**

I'll be making the games this week.

*Since there is no head to head and both JPlo64 and Kexor had the same number of away wins, random.org was used to determine who ranked ahead
**shaneback ranks ahead of Tazzy_J on away wins

[iAmCaffeine]

Games created, invites sent.

[iAmCaffeine]

Kexor has beaten dkmaster 4-3 to advance to the semi finals. No other matches have completed a game yet.

[iAmCaffeine]

Next through to the semi-final is jackal31, although the match is not yet over, and it looks like JPlo64 will soon be joining him.

[iAmCaffeine]

JPlo64 is the next player through to the semis.

[iAmCaffeine]

The quarter finals have finally ended! One game still remains between jackal31 and shaneback but it will not change the result. There is a slight delay on the semi finals as all event maps now seem to be closed again, so JPlo64 will have to change his home map.
