Cyrusleung and vegnagun missed their invite into their 2C games.

Cyrusleung is an active member so I have re-invited him. Vegnagun, however, seens to have vanished from CC, so I have randomly drawn Le HotSauce to replace him.

[MGSteve]

Cy has been having some extra long days at work lately that have caused him to miss some turns here and there. He might be a bit overextended on his games because of the long work hours. Thanks for givin him another shot cause Cy's a good guy. Great partner as long as he isn't kept crazy with work.

[Dukasaur]

Only three games still active in Phase 2C!

Now two.

Phase three should be starting within a few days. Freemiums please check your available slots!

[Dukasaur]

All games in Phase 2 have finished.

Today will be a very hectic day for me, so I can't promise to launch Phase 3 today. Tomorrow is unlikely as well, so it will probably be Saturday or Sunday.

[Dukasaur]

Just a short delay. My spreadsheet skills need upgrading....

I'm working on the scoring spreadsheet, and some of the formulae are giving me trouble. I should still have the next round out before the weekend is over. In fact, I still have hopes of finishing tonight, but tomorrow at the very latest.

[Dukasaur]

Okay, I have completely revamped my spreadsheet, and I have some results for you.

(Players with zero points in a category are omitted from the list, except for the overall lists)

show: regular points earned in Phase 1

show: Dukapoints earned in Phase 1

show: regular points earned in Phase 2

show: Dukapoints earned in Phase 2

cyrusleung was the only player who earned the 0.5 point bonus for holding Sterea Ellada in the first 5 rounds. A lot of different players held Borrea Ellada during that time, but of course that's not what the bonus was for.

show: overall current regular points

show: overall current Dukapoints

show: overall alphabetical

show: players who have qualified for phase 3a by winning a phase 2 game

show: name drawn from Second chance lottery to join them

[Dukasaur]

After all that work, I managed to make a mistake.....

Correct Dukapoints for Enormastitz should read:
Phase 1: 1.416282642
Phase 2: 0.447368421
overall: 1.863651063

(I guess I got distracted by the Enormastitz)

It's been corrected in my spreadsheet, and there are no material consequences to the error at this point, since Dukapoints won't matter until the end.

(I guess I got distracted by the Enormastitz)

I don't blame you, happens to me all the time.
I'm suprised I'm doing so well. It's a shame Bee didn't get past phase 2, if I'm reading all this correctly.

Well, he didn't win a game in Phase 2, but there's always a chance his name could be drawn from the Lottery pool.

rumracer, davetso, and Mande1992 all missed their first invite in this round. I renewed them all for now.

None of these three will be returning.

The names drawn from the pool to replace them are: General Redstone, Vaicius, DaUltimateBully

Okay, General Redstone and Vaicius joined their games; DaUltimateBully did not, and hasn't been on CC in a week, so that's another name we can drop.

Next name drawn from the lottery pool is musteriuz.

[Dukasaur]

All games in Phase 3A have now successfully started. Good luck, everybody!

While I have your attention, I still have two slots in my WKRP tournament which are taking forever to fill. Please check it out and sign up if you like it!

[Dukasaur]

Still one active game going in Phase 3A. Nonetheless, compared to Phase 2, this one will go by in a flash!

[Dukasaur]

All games in Phase 3A have finished. I was hoping to get Phase 3B out today, but I got busier than I expected with other things.

I'll get it done some time this week.

[Dukasaur]

Composition of Phase 3B.

show: Losers of Phase 3A

show: Plus Four Names Drawn From Second Chance Lottery Pool

show: mixed together and randomized

[Dukasaur]

Phase 3B games have been created and invitations sent out.

[Dukasaur]

davetso has not accepted his invite, and I see that he hasn't been on CC since March 31st, so that's a scratch.

From the Second Chance Lottery Pool I draw........ subprime

[davetso]

hopefully i can still participate?

Glad to see you back! Unfortunately I did give away your spot because you missed two consecutive invites. I can put you back in the Lottery Pool if you want, and there will be a slim chance that your name will be drawn again in the next round.

[Joe B.]

I think I am going to drop out of this tourney.
My premium membership recently ran out and I'm in a couple of other tourneys that I have a shot in.
After my current game, please take me out or I can just reject the next invite.
Sorry for any inconvenience, thank you, Joe B.

No problem, Joe. Hope we see you back to premium at some point in the future...

And thank you for letting me know before the next round starts! Too many people forget to do that.
