I haven't received any game invites for round 3 and other members of my group have.

You had 2 invites already which you missed.

I will be resending them a third and last time tomorrow.

Just FYI for everyone. There have been some discovered multis. To keep things fair, all games involving those players are being thrown out and not counted within their group. This way, they will not affect the standings at all.

On that note the standings have been updated through the end of Round 2. Multis have been marked in the standings as such.

Hey guys, any chance we're going to get the next 3 games started sometime this millenium?

[MrGlassB]

You should have received a PM with a timeline for the next set of games.

Updated the standings. I believe all games sent so far are now finished.

... sorry, I got the wrong end of the stick and thought I was supposed to have been sent a PM saying things had started and what the password was etc ... we must still be waiting for that!

Standings have been updated through the finished games. As always, if you see anything funky, let me know. I'm pretty sure I got it all correct, but it's a lot to keep track of.

In Group Stage everybody will play 3 games, once against every other player in their group.

Now when we are coming close to the group stage i noticed that group stage system is unbalanced, you can be eliminated in only 3 games. in first stage there are 14 games and in knockout phase there are 5 games each round, which makes good amount of games to be reliable.

I suggest that in group stage teams play vs each other twice, so then advancing/eliminating would be decided in 6 games, not in only 3.

Congrats to jeraado for clinching Germany in only 4 Rounds. If it can't be me , and I gotta say he spanked me in our 2 games, then he surely deserves it.

Go on to represent and do us proud, jeraado. Hope you win it all.

I didn't say there weren't others, I was just congratulating the guy that won the group I was in because, in my opinion, he played very well and deserved the win.

[Ffraid]

[arno30]

Knockout Stage

I see some games are already made, and it was not followed original format of groups posted in 1st post. I think you missed real schedule of groups which was declared previously and which was in real World Cup.
