Hello everyone,

Registrations for the 6takes tournament have exceeded our expectations with 28 players signing up in total. We would like to first of all thank Ceyda and TheRainMaker for assisting us with the drawing.
A quick reminder that the tournament will take place on Saturday June 6th and Sunday June 7th beginning at 1PM eastern, 5PM GMT, 6PM in England, 7PM in Germany, 8PM in Saudi Arabia and 10PM in Pakistan. Please arrive 15 minutes early to ensure a smooth and timely start to play.

Some rules to keep in mind:
We will be playing group games of 4 in the first two rounds and only the top 2 from each group will advance directly to the next round; Therefore, The game will be stopped when we have 2 of the four players reaching the score limit. Please note: the game will not be stopped mid-round once a player reaches the limit, it will only be stopped at the end of the round. If we have more than 2 players who have reached the score limit at the end of the round, the 2 players with the highest scores will be eliminated.
During the game, if a player has stopped playing for whatever reason, we will wait for 15 minutes before proceeding without that player (the player will be disqualified from the tournament).
Edit: any decisions made during the tournament will be final and at the discretion of the organisers.

Groups and format:
28 players were sorted into 7 groups of 4 players. The top 2 from each group will advance for a total of 14 players. We will then select the 2 best third place finishers with the lowest score difference to round out the top 16.
In the second round, the 16 players will be sorted into groups of 4 with the top 2 from each group advancing into the quarter finals. From the quarter finals onwards, only 1 verses 1 knockout style games will take place.
The score limit will be 75 for the first 2 group rounds and in the quarter finals. It will increase to 80 and 85 in the semi finals and finals respectively.

The 7 groups were created by seating 7 players based on results from the previous 2 6takes tournaments. Each of these players were placed into their own respective groups.
These 7 players are in order: Rincewind, Raki, Magicalkrrish, Guliwer, Balasana, Farzad and Ynwa.
The top 4 on that list have made it to one or both of the semi finals in the previous 2 tournaments. The fifth, sixth and seventh players were quarter finalists with the lowest scores from their group rounds.
If anything is unclear, please don’t hesitate to ask one of the organisers.

Without further ado, here are the groups:

Group A:
Rincewind
Captain-nemo
Fawaz
Angelina-princess

Group B:
Raki
Mogosog
Dayan
Marina7

Group C:
MagicalKrrish

Reklaw

Group F:
Farzad
Faraz

DianaCician

Group G:

Once we go down to 16 players, the top 14 will be ranked based on their scores from the first round. The 15th and 16th ranked players will be the two lucky third place finishers with the lowest score difference.
The groups will be sorted as follows:
Group A: players 1, 8, 9, 16
Group B: players 2, 7, 10, 15
Group C: players 3, 6, 11, 14
Group D: players 4, 5, 12, 13

In the Quarter finals, first will play 8th, second will play 7th and so on. In the semmi’s, first will play 4th and second will play third.

Again, if there are any questions at all, don’t hesitate to ask.
The team would like to sincerely thank everyone who have registered and wish everyone the best of luck.
