Rising Star Tournament - CONCLUDED

[Eijolend]

Update on the Tie-Breaker rule:

If there is a 3way tie that isn't broken by Head-to-Head or Sonneborn-Berger-score AND it influences who would advance to the next round, there will be some play-off games to break the tie.

This will work like this:
You play 2 games against each opponent (one as P1, one as P2) - that would be 4 games in total.
All games will be played on Sharkfood Island.
The 3 players participating will be ranked by

• Games won
• Head-to-Head
• Head-to-Head Turn Count
• Turn Count (lost games minus won games)
  

If amazingly a relevant tie is still not resolved, I will look at the Head-to-Head for the initial Group again.
If there's still no solution, all players that are still tied will advance.

The first post has been updated to reflect this change.
Beware that with this system you are worse off concerning turn count if you resign a game instead of letting it play out.
All Playoff games will be tracked in the "Round 1 Playoffs" Tab in my spreadsheet.

Group E can immedeately start their playoff round.
Please try to play those games quickly.
Please also report the number of turns in addition to the replay link.

I have heard nothing from either of them.

So {~BiA85~} and I move forward?

If neither of them lets me know what's going on by the time the deadline hits, then yes! I tried to contact lugia, but I haven't heard anything yet.

So I guess we are sorta in the same boat with figuring out what may happen? I don't even know what's going up with their game actually, but there will at least be a two way tie. They have until march 19th to finish, right?

Correct! You would win the 2way tie, since you beat Wildtalon in your game, but if beckyash wins, there will be playoff games.
