Iron Maid, Thanks for all the effort u put to set this huge tournament up.
I have a question about the qualification, when there's gonno be 3 qualifiers in 1 game, they would be the last three participants that remain in the game?

Exactly, but in the case of your game there can be exception as the remaining 3 players are all from India or all from Iran, then the 4th or even 5th player can qualify if he/she is not from the same country as the first 3.

UPDATE 2008-08-03 (2)

At this point 20 of 64 games started. I try to do my best to get the other players in. sensfan (CAN) is replaced by n8tius (CAN) in the Canada Group 1 game. Game 2966949

risk it all (USA) is the first player that missed a turn in the Tourney.

The Poland game already advanced to Round 3 Game 2964275. At the other hand the Rep. of Korea & Japan game still needs 5 players to join.

UPDATE 2008-08-04 (1)

With the help of some reminders and the help of sid12345 (GBR) who replaces Creampie (GBR) in the Great Britain Group 1 Game Game 2962855, 24 games started now. The New Zealand Group 1 game Game 2968100, with our highest entry for the Tourney: Me-Da-MiNoRiTY (NZL) currently 41th on the scoreboard, also got under way.

The Canada Group 2 game Game 2966964 is really going fast. Round 6 at the moment. Gilles#1 (CAN) is probably the first player in the Tourney who cashed in a set of cards.

UPDATE 2008-08-04 (2)

After some reminders to players, the Brazil, France, Ireland, Bulgaria & Greece and the USA Group 1 game have also started. hcr (GBR) helped out to replace doubtful cook PHS (GBR) in the Great Britain Group 2 Game 2961364. So finally we have 30 games started and still 34 to go.

homelessguy65 (NZL) also lost his premium-membership and still has 15 games running. As the other players in his Group are all premiums it shouldn't be a problem that he joins later than August 8th. Yes I have also a human side ;)

The boys from Trinidad & Tobago are really enjoying it, already Round 6 and a nice chat Game 2967421
The Slovenian chat is also nice, wish I could read it Game 2964139 :?

All readers (well at least 3 I guess) thanks for the support!

UPDATE 2008-08-05 (1)

I already thougt I'm going nuts as there are now 32 games active and 30 still awaiting players. 32 & 30 makes 62 in the Netherlands and I know I created 64 games. Well already 2 games are finished!

Compliments to the Trinidad (& Tobago) boys who did the quickest game of the Tourney. Game 2967421. vax (TRI) did a great job to win it and ZydnItachi (TRI) also qualified to the second stage as runner-up.

Second game that finished is the Canada Group 2 game Game 2966964. Bad Speler (CAN), which could be a translation in Dutch for someone who plays in the bath-tub, won the game and qualifies together with private 1st class im2good4theboard for the next stage. The freemium private did a great job leaving 2 premium captains behind.

The South East Asia game Game 2967598 has started now. Players from Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia take part in this one. After reminders to drunkenmarauder (CHN) and Olafsson (ISL), China and Iceland & Norway are also making their moves. The last game was filled up automatically, obviously the Mexicans didn't need a reminder Game 2967048.

I'm trying to remind more players to join their games as there are still 30 games which didn't start yet. For Italian and Finnish players a Topic is created in the create/join section, as I'm afraid that these games won't fill up totally.

UPDATE 2008-08-05 (2)

4 more games started now after some PM-ming. The Other South America game with players from Chile, Colombia, Peru & Suriname started. CaptainGoatshead (AUS) and zendragon (USA) also joined after a reminder to make the line-up for their games complete. As pirriga (CRC) didn't react on 2 reminders I replaced him with abarbaro (CRC) to get the Costa Rica & Panama game Game 2967400 started. It was definitely hard to find a Costa Rican player on CC.

So far no other players are eliminated today and there is no more news.....

Well actually you might have a look at the South East Asia game Game 2967598. They aren't that Asian as their profiles tell you. But I hope they will represent Thailand, Myanmar & Cambodia well.

UPDATE 2008-08-06 (1)

It's getting harder and harder to let the remaining games start. There are players that haven't been online in August and it would be rude to replace them already. So wait until August 8th is all I can do. Nevertheless there are players which had the opportunity and didn't get it to join. I could 2 more games get started: Game 2961600 United States Group 4 as Darin44 (USA) replaces sexydude (USA) and Game 2961340 Romania as a real major dexterdexter (ROM) was willing to join instead of eliberator (ROM).

I placed a topic on the Dutch language forum, searching for reserves to take over open spots of 2 Belgians and 1 Dutch player if they don't join before August 8th. I also PM-med Finnish and Italian players to get these games completed.

Nobody has been eliminated meanwhile, but I know that risk it all (USA) and nban (IND) are doing their best to be the first player that is going to be eliminated by missing too many turns. Great job guys!
