Dear Gentlemen!

Thanks for joining! Good choice!
The rules are clear? If not - just ask.

Probably everyone lives in Europe, so the games will be named: Euro-CUP-group-A (...and group B).

After start - zero pressure - please do your move when you want. I hope minimum 4-10 moves per day,
But we have a timer: 3 days per player + 1 hr (because sometimes someone needs a day of break).
Each game for a maximum two weeks , I hope.

Remember - it's just fun! On the other hand - I Tournament will be difficult, because 5 of 8 players have 'elo' around 300 or over 400 ! Damn! :)

Lucasrrr was the last to join, I don't know him well (we played 2 or 3 times 2 months ago) so I am asking him to complete the line-up of both groups. So lucasrrr, below is the result of my lottery, I am asking you to complete the composition to the groups (if you do not do it - tomorrow I will ask the next person about it). Please put four of players (with the highest elo) in groups (please post below) :

PodonokMax
Babbuc49
Wy
lucasrrr
(these four players have the highest elo)

Two to group A and two to B:

1. Euro-CUP-group-A

Mecenas
bardopondo

2. Euro-CUP-group-B

What next?

I will send a link to the games here (using private messages). After the first game - one of the player in group will put new link to the second game there (using chat window)

Pyton will create and share on-line table (eng.) - thanks!

Please notice - mistakes happen! If someone (starting from the second game) mistakes the order, chooses the factions incorrectly, bids for more than 0 - don't worry! but in this case the group has to create a game-table again.

Ok, we wait for the list of both groups. After that I will create game-tables and send to all.

lucasrrr

Ok, I've just distributed the remaining players randomly, is that OK?

A
PodonokMax

Mecenas

Congratulations & big thanks to all players of the Group A for 4 difficult games!

89 points between Bardopondo (the winner!) and Mecenas is not an enormous distance after four games, which shows how hard the fight was! There is only a 4 vp difference between PodonokMax (who won the most times in the group!) and Wy. This shows that our Tournament system is not ideal, but rules are rules.

Bardopondo and Wy are going to the final four games. Congratulations! Start in March.

I hope everyone will want to continue participating, but it's not mandatory. It's just a game! :)

ariallito

Thanks and congratulations to all players in group B. Me and Pyton fought, but the team definitely had two leaders. Applause for Babbuc49 (718 VP!) and for the winner - Lucasrrr (759 VP!).

edit:
link (to the final table) I will send here (using private messages) probably today till evening.
