Heh, you are correct. For some odd reason it's an important group for you. Congrats on winning that round. Yes, Zipdrive Nightmare has won group 24.

Group 2 seems to be a sure tie between myself and Siskin

Updated Round 1 Results so far:

48 ngkabra/dsmfire
51 Capa/rookwhar
60 arnosof/kidney
72 CyberDonkey*/DrivingInsane
83 GannonKnight/Very Rusty

I have to say that the winner of grp 48 will be ngkabra, and nor myself. Withmore than 98% certainty.
He beat me.

Group 23 don't get no love? I'm virtually guaranteed of no worse than a 2-way tie for 1st with Domnersnes.

Yet another update. A lot of activity.

Wow, if we don't get some bannings before the final round I think we're looking at 50% engine users.

OK, on that positive note we have a couple more updates for the 2009 Championship Tournament 5854. Looks like timeouts are causing several groups to complete or narrow the field and more are on the way!

Well done my friend, we all appreciate the up to date information, this must take a lot of time, and we are all happy that you can point us towards some very interesting races!

Also, my group, group 58, has been all but clinched by User 88819. He can clinch it any time by clicking a couple of skulls.

I finished 3rd in the group with 75 points of 84. It wasn't a very balanced group as the entire bottom half of the group seemed to barely show up. I noticed a bunch of precipitous ratings drops during the tournament.
