End of group stage PM!
***
Hi all.
Please do not reply to this message, instead use the forum for all chat!
The World Cup Warm Up group stages are in the books!
It's been a great tournament. We had already set a high bar in terms of game completion, but this tournament has topped even our previous best. A huge thank you to everyone for your participation, and to the staff, Chavo, easilyamused, spubbbba and Pythrr that have helped admin. So. To business!
Individual Playoffs
Congratulations to our five group winners / other runner-up playoff qualifiers as well as our non qualifying runners-up:
North American Group: Sutherlands (Norse) / happygrue (Wood Elf)
Oceanic Group: bmilner (Undead) / Dunenzed (Human)
European Group 1: Joemanji (Undead) / gesize (Dark Elf)
European Group 2: fxiii (Wood Elf) / Zoul (Dark Elf)
European Group 3: PeteW (Dark Elf) / Straume (Necromantic)
Competition was as fierce as ever. Euro groups 1 & 2 were decided on opponent score tie-breakers, as was the North American runner-up (bad luck Azure and pizzamogul). The runner up in Euro group 3 was decided on racial tier (Candlejack, Endzone and KFoged narrowly missing out).
Team Challenge Playoffs
After 6 weeks of competition, four teams remain. Commiserations to Hellhound who lost out by a single point! The randomly drawn playoff semi-finals will be:
Team Fantastic v Joe le Taxi
Captain's game: JimmyFantastic (Und) v azzroag (Und)
Relezite (Nor) v Nathaniel-FR (DE)
Malmir (CD) v Bucks (WE)
Wreckage (Dwa) v Simon_MLF (Nor)
Endzone (Liz) v geggster (Liz)
PeteW (DE) v felix_le (Necro)
Waterbowl v NAF or How I...
Captain's game: Joemanji (Und) v happygrue (WE)
Leipziger_Waterbowl (Ska) v Lorebass (Nor)
Sizzler (Nor) v pizzamogul (Liz)
Lucifer (Dwa) v Azure (Und)
mubo (DE) v Kryten (HE)
Purplegoo (Liz) v Stimme (Underworld)
Stunty Cup
We can't forget the little ones! mrt1212's Ogres will face m0gw41's Halflings for the little big one.
All of the playoffs will be drawn and on the group pages shortly, you have all been contacted by separate PM. I hope you'll all be posting start times, I personally want to watch each and every game on there!
This PM has gotten awfully long, so I will address the final three points quickly. You will all no doubt remember that there are two prizes to be given at random for coaches that have completed all 6 games of the group stage. We'll be drawing those next week, so stay tuned. I'll also talk ore about 'what's next' next time. Lastly, I also wanted to talk a bit about the NAF World Cup, the reason we're here, but that went on for too long. Instead, since we didn't already have one, I made a thread. Please come join in there!
Until next week, thanks again, and good luck to everyone in the playoffs!
Phil / Goo. |

bmilner and I are playing Saturday night at 9 PM CT, which is noon Monday in Australia. I'd put it in the scheduler but there's no button below my team for that... |

Thanks for setting a fine example!
Don't know where that's disappeared to, but I hope enough people see this and come spectate. |

I think half the players on both sides are neutral in this one. A true battle of the NAF admins vs FUMBBL admins. |

Might try and arrange a co-commentary on this one, if you guys are happy with that? |

I'm starting now-ish.
For those wondering, your lottery prize / what's next PM will arrive in your inbox on Wednesday. Until then, sit back and enjoy multiple playoff action. |
