Notes from the organizer: Alright then, we’ve got our extra gutsy contingent of nearlypeeps, who no doubt are ready for the Upper Bracket players to come down like hail. They better get their umbrellas up, because one loss will send them home.

Just like up top, the games are seeded. I’ve compressed the structure down from the traditional double-elimination bracket — hopefully no flaws rear their ugly heads.

So, Ravi Choudhary as our third number 3 gets seed 9, followed by:
10. Anthony Endsor (5 pts) who, despite being yet to break 100, has squeezed points out of all but one of his games
11. Wesley Barton (4.5 pts) who is the only player to have beaten a group winner, in the only double-century game so far
12. Dave Kempshall (4 pts) who sealed his place in the knockouts with an emphatic 119

The aforementioned points system is back: each player started with a set number of points based on their group position, but will be awarded points based on performance here too. Reach the lower quarter-finals to earn 7 points, the semi-final will earn you 9, and it’s double digits if you reach the Big Final.

Presently, we'll have to wait for games up top to take place before I can schedule any here. The dates next to the games are, of course, their deadlines, but I’m willing to allow some short extensions.

That’s all jee ell jee ell!!!
