Why does wrecktify have an asterix next to his name?

I put an asterisk after the baddies. I'll remove it so I don't hurt his feelings. <3

I bet there will be a lot of scheduling problems with this round hitting Christmas and NYE. I for example cant play after Thursday evening until 4th of January... Maybe have this round extended?

Strangely enough, usually the holidays are easier to schedule. We've done extensions before for holidays only to have the majority of the games played in a week. O.o I think with vacation days from school/work it ends up making scheduling easier for people. But, if there are issues scheduling, I see no reason that we can't extend the round.

Do i get 5 points for the last round for notifying a sub 2 days ahead of time?
-
You do, fixed!
If anyone else is missing points, please let us know~

Been doing some of the math. Not sure if 1 win is a lock for qualifying, but 10+10+25 points seems to be pretty solid. 10+5+25 might not be. If you have one of those bonus points (11 point 2nd place) for high score and not winning, I think 41 points is probably safe too (win+2nd+3rd with that bonus point).
While not a lock, it appears that having 1 win is safe because some people are going to miss their matches and get subbed. So there might be some dreamcrushing here, for those who don't need a win and don't want someone else in their game to win. Definitely anyone in contention who subs is going to be inclined to try to actually take the win away from someone else, in another match--so that actually makes subs have a stake in the matter.
I'm a little rusty on the bracket math and this is a lot more complicated than Swiss rounds+cut to top 8 (which I've done a couple hundred times in MTG tournaments), but 2 wins is definitely a lock; 1 win and 20 other points is probably a lock; 1 win and 15 other points is going to depend on how many people play their games and how many get to that same level. I think it's possible that some 30 point guys could get in, though it does depend on the rich getting richer (and the subs stealing wins too) so that there's space for a 30 with breakers or a 31 to get on the board.
Hopefully everyone plays to win, but there's definitely going to be consideration for players who know they just need 3rd place and might just 100 food someone out for the sake of insurance. It should be interesting.

Without really looking at anything, my gut call is 31 will make it, and I think very good shot 35 makes it.
