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, Meredie Cohen as our third number 3 gets seed 9, followed by:
10. Ravi Choudhary (6.5 pts) who clinched 4 of his points in the last two rounds
11. Matty Artell (6 pts) who likes his 4 large — watch out!!
12. Dave Kempshall (5 pts) who struck snakelike in his pivotal last game with Mark O'R, going on to grind out the win
And finally, the three players in fifth, who are by no means there to make up the numbers har har:
13. Colin Thompson (6 pts) who missed out on second place at the very last moment, so may yet prove to be a surprise package
14. Adam Dexter (5.5 pts) who held his own against Maus and Trevor Potts
15. Ian Volante (4 pts) who was the only player in the lower bracket to reach 800 points
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.
The dates next to the games are, of course, their deadlines, but I’m willing to allow some short extensions.
