Phew, the forum is finally back up.
The date for summarizing and finalizing the group stage results has arrived, so let's see what we have.
Games have been fully completed in only 4 out of the 8 groups.
In Group A, Gomunguls and darkello advanced.
In Group B, the situation is unclear; no one can catch up with each other. God has disappeared/appears very rarely. Two mandatory game dates are scheduled for this Saturday for the following pairs:
Kilgor-Volodymyr
God-BA/IEHOK
Matches will start at 12:00 Moscow time on May 10, 2014 (+/- 1 hour; a technical loss will be awarded to anyone who doesn't show up), and will continue until a winner is determined (minimum game time: 6 hours). If a winner cannot be determined, the results will be based on saved games.
The results of these two matches may give us the final picture or, conversely, complicate it. We'll see.
In Group C, everyone played well and finished their games two months ago. Juristis and numOne advance.
In Group D, I didn't expect any problems, but all players are active. However, the time zone difference with Dirty_player seems to be making itself felt. Mandatory game dates are also scheduled for the following pairs:
Amiloo-Nitro
Dirty_player-BISHOP
Matches will start at 12:00 Moscow time on May 10, 2014 (+/- 1 hour; a technical loss will be awarded to anyone who doesn't show up), and will continue until a winner is determined (minimum game time: 6 hours). If a winner cannot be determined, the results will be based on saved games.
In Group E, everyone played well, quickly and efficiently finishing their games much earlier than the deadline. KobRa_RR and Ominous1 advance.
In Group F, almost everyone played well. There are only two matches left that will determine the final standings:
=Stinger=-Aiwe
twaryna-Redwhait_HP
Matches will start at 12:00 Moscow time on May 10, 2014 (+/- 1 hour; a technical loss will be awarded to anyone who doesn't show up), and will continue until a winner is determined (minimum game time: 6 hours). If a winner cannot be determined, the results will be based on saved games.
In Group G, Piterius essentially still has a chance to advance, but for that, he needs to win all three remaining games. I have no doubt that he can handle this task, but the question is, when and where will he find the time for these games? If Piterius can provide at least one result from a game against Maretti or Chemist_HP by May 10, 2014, and that result is a win (any other result will result in losing his chances of advancing), then a mandatory game date will be scheduled for the following pair:
Piterius-Grizvald
The match will start at 12:00 Moscow time on May 10, 2014 (+/- 1 hour; a technical loss will be awarded to anyone who doesn't show up), and will continue until a winner is determined (minimum game time: 6 hours). If a winner cannot be determined, the results will be based on saved games.
If there are no results, then Maretti and Grizvald will advance.
In Group H, well done! They finished their games before the deadline. Keep it up! Palach_HP and Hellight advance.
Now, regarding deadlines and mandatory dates.
As promised, exceptions will be made, and deadlines will be extended for valid and compelling reasons.
As we all know, the CIS tournament is currently taking place in Minsk, and some participants in the league are at this tournament (perhaps they will be able to play there?).
Some have simply gone on vacation for the May holidays, etc. I ask all participants who have not finished their matches and have been assigned mandatory dates to contact me via ICQ/on the forum and inform me if there are real reasons why they cannot play the games on time.
Also, if there is an opportunity to play earlier or at a different time, feel free to arrange it; stop dragging things out :smile16:
