World Cup 2018 Signups!

Just updated the tables! The competition for the 7th spot is very tight. Just 4.5 points separate three teams from 7th place, with others lurking within striking distance farther behind. No team has officially been eliminated, as a solo can still get anyone in.

How exciting! Can’t wait to see how this new fuel effects the already high drama going on in the Group C PP.

*grabs popcorn*

No matter the outcome of the FP game, I am pretty proud of Team Canada.

Group A has just wrapped up their final game!

[goldfinger0303]

Aw, and here I was hoping you'd toss the game like ghug told me you were considering. But that wraps up Group A!

The Final scores are TEAM CASCADIA with 667 points (so close to the perfect number) and TEAM EAST COAST with 453 points to clinch the two guaranteed Finals spots. TEAM NETHERLANDS currently holds the coveted 7th spot with 342 points, but is on shaky ground. A draw without Vash would've clinched it for them! Can they hold on as Groups B and C continue to duke it out? We'll have to see!

An exciting finish to the group,and thank you very much to all the teams for your participation and effort in making this tournament a joy to watch.

I say a lot of crazy shit.

I say a lot of crazy shit.

I can confirm!

Good game, everyone. Best of luck in the finals to the survivors of group A!

Group B FP1 has ended with a solo for Silicon Valley [by me].

If I did my math right then group B standings are as follows:
Silicon Valley: 608.5 [+438]
Greatest Lakes: 537.5 [+0]
Poland: 391.5 [+0]
British Empire: 94.5 [+0]
Commonwealth Secretariat: 92.5 [+5]
Kalmar Unionen: 85.5 [+8]
Great Britain: 4 [+2]

Silicon Valley and Greatest lakes advance by virtue of being in the top two in group B.
Poland replaces the Netherlands as the highest scoring third place team. Sorry Netherlands, that means you are out.
Lastly, I believe that Canada has also now officially qualified. If they did fall to third in their group they would beat Poland and I don't think that they could mathematically fall to fourth in their group.

Some very nice moves by CWag, and I think the best man won the day.

Best of luck for the final!

[VillageIdiot]

I’m digging the Canadian content in the finals!

[goldfinger0303]

Thanks for stealing my thunder there, CWag. Yes, Netherlands is officially out. It was interesting watching them and the group C teams react when it became apparent there would be a solo in Group B

Hey Italy, you’re holding up the tournament.

[ChippeRock]

Hey Italy, you’re holding up the tournament.

Stop your bitching, there's still an opportunity to get a solo or a 3 way draw. Not everyone has the benefit of a solo nor does everyone have the benefit of being able to not worry about the standings.

[Durga]

Take your time. Take until September.

[VillageIdiot]

I’m still rooting for the big meta power play. Viva la meta!

Were we planning downtime in between or jumping right into it?

[ghug]

Please don't be mean to my teammates. They are too pure and innocent for such vulgarity. Thank you muchly.
