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.
I know I've been doing this cool gimmick of bigging everyone up, but to be frank, there is only so much original stuff I can write about people either solving conundrums or not in the same way :P Not that I don't want to hype these players up, but I hope you understand :)
So, our third-placed players:
09. Perry Sarb (4.5 pts)
10. Matty Artell (4 pts, 280 for, 210 agst)
11. Colin Thompson (4 pts, 140 for, 140 agst)
12. Anthony Endsor (4 pts, 120 for, 270 agst)
And finally, the best two players in fourth:
13. Ravi Choudhary (4 pts, 190 for, 200 agst)
14. Sarah Binns (4 pts, 80 for, 250 agst)
Just missing out are the next two in fourth, Maria Chandler and Wesley Barton.
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.
