seeding points will avoid one of the top 32 seeded players in Round 1 of
Phase 2. |

| A relatively
straightforward 1st place for Géza after the second highest rated player in
the group had to be defaulted. Alan, playing in his first |
| tournament,
also took full advantage, edging out Walter for 2nd place, and is the second
lowest-rated player to make it as far as Phase 2! |

lowest-rated player in the whole tournament (pre-tournament lobby ranking =

| Apart from the
fact that Jacques won it, this was one of the most unpredictable groups. The
second highest-rated player in the group, Steven, |
| made a good
start, with a big win v Greg, but then it all went wrong as he lost heavily
to Jacques and then suffered a big 'upset' loss against |
| Czér. Greg's
big win v Czér made up for him having done far worse v Steven than Czér did
and when Czér lost his first 3 games v Jacques, |
| it looked like
the lowest-rated player in the group's impressive performances might see him
qualify. However, Czér managed to scrape a |
| 1-tile win in
the final game of that final match v Jacques and ended up denying the
unfortunate Greg a qualification place by just 2.8 TPs! |

| Andrew's
mini-match win v Vincent, probably the biggest shock of the tournament so
far, has left this group wide open, but neither of them |
| qualified in
the end. The group was very close until the end, with a big win for Galina v
Andrew sealing 1st place for her. Paula did well to |
| finish 2nd,
7.9 TPs ahead of Vincent, and she will be trying to become the first
Portuguese player ever to win a round in the KO phase. |

| Francois
dominated this group after one player withdrew. After a very narrow
mini-match win v Alexandr, Daniel needed to win just one of his 4 |
| games v
Francois to join him in Phase 2 but a high-margin 4-0 win by Francois meant
Alexandr became the first Ukrainian ever to reach the L128. |

| With one of
the performances of Phase 1, Ervin not only became the lowest-rated player to
make it through to Phase 2 this year, he actually |
| managed to win
the group. Of course, he has a better player at home to practice with than
most players in Phase 1 seeding band 4, but it |
| was a
remarkable achievement nonetheless. His compatriot Krisztian edged out the
highest-rated player in the group, Pawel, for 2nd place. |

| Third-rated
player in the group Jesus showed a stunning improvement on previous
tournaments to not only knock out the unfortunate Malcolm |
| but also to
snatch 1st place from Irene as the last moment by just 0.6 TPs. Jesus is the
first Spaniard ever to reach the L128 of the WTC. |

| Went with
seeding, but after one high margin loss against each of the other players,
Ned ended up on 46% despite and even win-loss record and |
| needed Andras
to score big mini-match wins v Tullio and Didier. It came down to the very
last game and unlucky Tullio missed out by just 1.1 TPs, |
| or 1 tile in
that final game. Even Didier, showing a big improvement since earlier
tournaments this year, was just one win away from qualification! |
