2010

We can now summarize the preliminary results of the group stage.
Those advancing to the playoffs are in blue; players who took 3rd place but did not make the playoffs are in red. Before asking questions via ICQ, please read the 3rd post at the beginning of the topic;)

Group A

Spirit gave the victory to Scorp. Scorp has enough with 2 points to make the playoffs
Capitan 4
OUTLAW 2.5
Scorp 2


Group B

Well done - they played quickly, avoided techs, and there was nothing left to calculate.
FAVorite 3.5
Hermit 2.5
Aldegir 2.5

Group C
All three are nominally in 1st place
Dubrovin Pavel 3
Gomunguls 3
Erdem 3

Group D
XL' beat his competitors and took 2nd place via the Berger system. rebellious was 2 points short of advancing to the playoffs. It's a shame such a strong player was knocked out so early(
bRitvo4kA 3
XL' 2, SB 4
rebellious 2, SB 3
Blackpoint 2, SB 2

Group E
LeBron 3.5
Logisti k 3
Looser 2.5

Group F
The most extreme conclusion. Mizrael only needed to accept a draw offer and calmly wait for his opponent in the playoffs. Respect for the gesture, and it's a shame the group favorite (IMHO, though many may disagree) was left behind. There was a proposal to play a quick round-robin, but not everyone supported the idea. Therefore, the table looks like this:
FireToSky 3
redwhait 2, SB 4
KillerVampire 2, SB 4
Mizrael 2, SB 3
Second place goes to Redwhait based on the head-to-head match with Vampire. Vampire beats Rebellious from Group D via the Berger coefficient.

Group G
Pit for LM 4
SEM_56 3
mals 2


Group H
I don't feel like commenting.
AlexTheGreat 3
Van 3
Lider1 1.5

Group I
Alessandro 3
Psyche_7 3
Soroka 3

Group J
Tomorrow is the deciding final match: PReDS vs. Volland. If Volland wins, it's a stalemate situation. Three players have 2 points in the table and 2 points via Berger. Two advance, one is eliminated.
I see two options to resolve this situation:
1 Play quickly, either full games on a fast map or TC in a round-robin (they will be waiting for them in the playoffs anyway)
2 Based on HW rating (I'd rather not)
I'll need to discuss it with all three; if we can't agree, the judges will step in.
But in any case, we wait for the match to end.
Wicc 3
wowa (Yama-Dharma) 2
Volland 2
PReDS 2

Group K
The most undisciplined group :) Matrosov and BackCat got techs, Butcher got 2 techs. Satur advances without winning a single game. Here I had to deviate from the rules. According to them, Butcher advances with 2 points, but it's not certain he will show up. This slot is given to other groups.
KobRa_RR 4
satur 3
but4er 2

Group L
Besha and Piterius never played, but we'll give them 0.5 each :D, as it doesn't affect the seedings for the playoffs anyway.
Sil 3
Forrest 2.5
Besha 2.5

The draw is almost ready, but we'll wait for the debtors. The final table will be tomorrow (I can't do it without Hermit)))

Huge request to playoff participants regarding the draw:
At the beginning of the thread, Vic wrote that he isn't interested in playing in his own "sandbox" (the same map/scenario). It's not proper to deviate from the rules, so it will remain as announced - there will be a TE bracket until the semifinals. But if there are those wishing to change their "sandbox" - you are welcome. For example, I hope KobRa won't refuse to play SOD.
Leave your requests here by tomorrow, 22:00 MSK!
