This thread is here if anyone wanted to discuss anything or have questions about the tournament in general. The match results thread fills up too fast.

A reminder: those who haven't played a single match yet have until Saturday @ 11:59 PM PST before they are dropped from the tournament.

Note: Player Sandibaby has been DQ'd for knowingly reporting a fake score in order to boost a friend's points, despite countless warnings not to do so.  That match score post has now been deleted.  I don't know why you would think it's okay to cheat, but you do not have special privileges.  I'm very disappointed in you  and hate to do it, but I have to be fair and can't let a persons dishonesty ruin the entire tournaments integrity.

A note to any other people who try to report fake scores:  you will also be DQ'd if you are caught.

i guess some players were dropped from the tournament last night for not playing any matches?

Keridwen

Good luck the rest of the way!

Note: your overall ranking will determine which division you play in next time, so try to complete matches even if you're not in the top 8
