@eniolw ended up as winner (for the second time this season) with 7/8 points, only
@eniolw was able to take him down in a dramatic time scramble! Runner-up was
@eniolw, followed by myself, with both 6/8! Ranks 4 and 5 went to
@eniolw and
@eniolw Congratulations to All!
It was my best result since a long time, but a good portion of luck was involved!

Tournament 1 (0-1499)
Tournament 2 (1500-1799)
Tournament 3 (1800-2099)
Tournament 4 (>2099)
Players can switch between the tournament tiers in case their rating changes! A rating in Italic indicates that this player is in "danger" of changing tiers!
In tournament 4,
@eniolw is now only 3 points away from the first place!
See you all next week - and keep practicing!
IMPORTANT:
In this season the rules are in that way, that in order to qualify for the juicy prizes, you need to have participated in 5 rounds! That means to all 14 players, that have so far played only once, you need to show up for the remaining 4 rounds, otherwise no prize for you! Just wanted to emphasize this to prevent surprises later (but I am afraid anyway nobody will be reading this far).
