This changes things in the context of what happens if the fixtures are unfulfilled. You can guess.

There will be one further obstacle facing anyone who has forfeited their place in the Winners' Bracket. For (at least) their first game against someone who has not been forced their for fixture non-fulfilment, the forfeiting player will have to win 2-0. The other player only needs to win one frame (i.e. either 1-0 or 1-1) to progress. So it is better to play and lose than not play at all. More about that next week.

Time is nearly up...

Spelling error: for "not been forced their for fixture non-fulfilment", read "not been forced there for fixture non-fulfilment".

Draw time...

http://www.chatzy.com/915522379797



Right, here's what happened:

aflumpire, alexander,
ronnie_147, berbatov_9,
the_foxes, hightops,
clooneman, king9ball1

That is...

aflumpire vs alexander
ronnie_147 vs berbatov_9
the_foxes vs hightops
clooneman vs king9ball1

I was gonna be drawn against ronnie until I remembered in the middle of the draw that he was disqualified, so I put myself back in the hat. This leaves the revised draw like so:

aflumpire vs alexander
berbatov_9 BYE
the_foxes vs hightops
clooneman vs king9ball1


Into the Losers' Bracket are psyco05, __mnm__, robbean and berbatov_9, and they will be joined by the four defeated players in the above matches above for some rapid fire knockout action. The deadlines for the Losers' Bracket rounds will be tighter than for the main one. __mnm__ and robbean will have to win their first match 2-0, to teach them a lesson in punctuality

That's correct.

The way the numbers have worked out, the three losing players (hightops, aflumpire/alexander, clooneman/king9ball1) from the ties above will join the four teams who have dropped into the Loser's Bracket (psyco05, __mnm__, robbean, familyguy0). These 7 players will then become 4, and these 4 will play to become 2, and these 2 will be joined by two more from the Winners' Bracket.

I know is sounds complicated, but the thing to remember is that as players lose in the Winners' Bracket, they drop into the Losers' Bracket, joining the players who are there already. And as long as you don't lose to your next opponent and keep winning, you'll remain in the competition.

My profile will contain constant score updates. This thread will contain all the latest news and information, as well as the answers to everyone's questions.

True. You won your first game, which qualified you for this next part of the competition. Those fixtures are not the Loser's Bracket. My profile contains everything.

Because robbie got himself banned, this means that some player was going to get a bye. As six players have already got byes, it meant that either you or aleaxnder would get a bye, as one of the rules is that byes will be spread out as evenly as possible.

Therefore, you are guaranteed to be in the last 4 of the Winners' Bracket, and like the rest of the players there, you can afford to lose to another of those players and still remain in the competition, albeit in the Losers' Bracket.
