In the game Alashar and I share, you obviously haven't noticed that I made 3 extra market connections to Alashar's 0 after the first half, and even points on water. So unless there is some amazing gang up in that game Alashar will lose by at least 10 pts!

True, but as it turns out, it doesn't change the expected makeup of the final.

Djura losing, which is theoretically possible, however would, so I wont declare the final until it's more certain she is going to win.

[Rebelslayer]

I put my vote in for 3 games on map 1 ... other finalists?

[gische]

More is better, that's my mantra.

The tournament's initial rounds are now complete.

Congratulations to all who won games, and especially to those who made the final. The final standings are posted below.

Some random tidbits:

Smlait tied for the winning score twice, but lost on money on both occasions. These were the only ties.

Rebelslayer won 3 of out 6 games and lost the other three by 3,4, and 7 points.

The highest score in the tournament was scored by Djura in the last game to finish, 1C, with 191 points.

Snoozefest scored the lowest winning score with 76 points on 4D, in the closest of the tournament games with only 10 points separating first from last.

The biggest losing margin was 87 points in 2D (sorry Steffany), however in game 4C one player managed just 40 points compared to the winners 94.

The players in this tournament failed to respect the authority of the organiser and only let me win one game. In fact at no stage did I think I was in a winning position in any of my other games

Another fascinating stat (for me). Excluding games actually won, my average losing margin (13) is the same as the overall leader (brianlcarr) . It's just that he only lost 2 and I lost all 6 - apart from that, we had identical losing margins!

Is anyone going to create the final?

Hi Kanga,
