Status update:

tojam2 hasn't played a single challenge nor logged into the forum in the last 10 days - not a good sign.

There are 6 players who have only played 2 of their 5 challenges: jeffford76, nige1, broze, mkgnao, manudude03, elwood913

All other 23 players are either complete or have pending challenges against the above 7 (other than toast1 who has 2 unrelated challenges to go).

I do know someone who would be interested in filling in if you are looking for an extra player, and who would be able to finish the challenges over the next week.

Results of 4 challenges posted earlier in this thread. Second challenge attempt v ToJam2 awaits acknowledgement.

Hello all,
@Smerriman, @Sfi - thanks for insights.

Here is our official report..
Group 1 - Tojam2 is missing. Other than that, jeffford76-broze game is the only match left. We will make a decision about replacement soon.
Group 2 - We basically wait for mkgnao. He has 3 matches left and he wants to take it slow.
Group 3 - Fully completed. Good job!
Group 4 - I am playing vs. toast1 right now. Then only match left is toast1-elyk25.
Group 5 - We wait for manudude03-dadim and also the 3-way between manudude03-hrothgar-elwood913.

I also plan to create a speedball type of event starting Saturday and ending Wednesday - players need to complete ~32 boards every 48hours, details will be published soon.

Hi - I recently finished my challenges against hrothgar and dadim. However, I closed the link and I haven't received a mail about the results

If either of you have the link, can you please post it. (fwiw my memory is that I lost to dadim by 50 (yikes!) and won small over hrothgar, 12 I think)

I just reissued my challenge to manudue03

elwood - could you please go to MY BBO > My results and find the match vs. hrothgar and open it as a new tab, copy paste the link.

Btw, it is manudude03 - check spelling.

This was fun. Thanks for organizing.

Key matches left:
Group 1--> jeffford76-broze
Group 2--> mkgnao-nullve, mkgnao-cherdano
Group 5--> dadim-manudude03 (if manudude03 cannot get enough VP in this match, other matches will not be important for KO qualification)

For tojam2 case, he is inactive for a long time (I messaged him privately multiple times in BBO) - so for now, we assume he dropped out and gave his opponents 12VPs as rules stated.

I would love to kick off the KNOCKOUTS on this Sunday (yes, a week faster than planned - but lots of people are impatient and sending me messages on BBO) if we have these matches done by Saturday night.

I plan to play my challenge with mkgnao on Sunday evening - sorry unlikely that I'd be able to do it before that.

The same with regard to it being inconvenient to play the challenge before sunday evening or monday applies to me as well since I'll be playing in tournaments on both saturday and sunday.

You know you don't have to play all boards in one go?

[broze]

I beat Jeffford by 1 IMP

Jeffford76 - did you hear from broze? (Done)

Manudude03 - do you want to finish a game this weekend? you are the only person who has two matches left..

Mkgnao - we really want to wrap the group phase over on Monday night.
