I beat Jeffford by 1 IMP

Wow - might turn out to be irrelevant based on how the other groups work out, but that knocks jeffford76 out due to being exactly 0.01 VP behind zebutin in the 4th place standings.

Yep, such a close call. We will go over the results one more time to make sure that everything is correct before posting the Top-16 round pairings.

Removed some back and forth between dadim and ovunc. Take it to private message please, or if you have suggestions for format improvement keep the personal attacks out of it.

We have two matches left:
Manudude03 vs. Hrothgar
Mkgnao vs. Cherdano

Both games are quite important for KO qualification. Good luck to players, please finish before Tuesday morning!

If it is at all possible (if it is inconvenient to do so, I understand) would it be possible to post the standings as they are going on now? There's probably a way to follow along with all the results and do it, but I'm not sure I could do it right. Thank you

Please go to very first page of this post - there is a Dropbox link there from the beginning (Or here for you: https://www.dropbox....s=1475457173200 )..

Click it - you will see an Excel file. You can go and visit all groups in different worksheets.

By now..

dadim x 13.04 16.26 18.87 19.16 12.03 [79.36]
smerriman 6.96 x 14.39 13.75 13.75 5.61 [54.46]
hrothgar 3.74 5.61 x -- 6.48 6.25 [22.08]
manudude03 1.13 6.25 -- x 18.21 7.71 [33.3]
elwood913 0.84 6.25 13.52 1.79 x 7.71 [30.11]
stoppiello 7.97 14.39 13.75 12.29 12.29 x [60.69]

If you cannot do Excel, try to read the table above. One match left and you are 2nd in the group.

[manudude03]

I thought this match would have been reported already, but:

http://webutil.bridg...37&u=manudude03

manudude03 23 - 38 hrothgar, hrothgar wins by 15.

Mkgnao has accepted and I have played the boards, I am sure it will be done soon.

i had tried the dropbox links....it showed group 1, or nothing at all. Guess my 5 year old desktop didn't like the technology thanks

I looked at "tentative R16" in the dropbox and noticed the proposition that I will play with barmar. I have no problem with it, just would like to mention in case if the fact that Barry and me played RR in the same group was missed.
Once again, no complains, I am happy with that and would be equally happy with any other assignment.

Impressive! Now zebutin just have to win that event.

We are aware of this, but the rule was set at the beginning and was an improvement compared to earlier IMP difference system. Originally, I prefer the system where 1-8 picks 9-16, however it may take a long time here - since we have to make everybody get online at the same time, which is impossible.

In the next tournament, we will see certain improvements. Cheers.

The tentative version of R16 pairings is in the Excel file. Frank0 will go over the IMP-VP conversion tonight and confirm (or correct) the results. Then he will post the bracket here.

You can start your games after Frank0 posts the pairings.. 4x16boards.. Good luck!

The current version has the #7 and #8 seeds swapped.
(It's really against my interest to point this out, as I was hoping to be as far away from diana_eva in the bracket as possible, but...)
