Progress (games per group per day) - for Assistant Controller use
The 2003 results implied over 800 TPs should be enough to qualify & below 760 TPs almost certainly would not be.
2004's results concurred - 776.9 was the lowest qualifying score and 761.0 TPs was the highest score to miss out.
Player N in any team plays 3 games against player N in every other team. Top two teams on TPs qualify for the QFs.
Individual player records (all groups) in this phase
GBQ (games behind last qualification place) is a different measure to TP% of how teams are doing. The order may
be slightly different if teams are very close and/or have played very different numbers of games. Please click any
 "GBQ" column heading for a full explanation. Some people find GBQ a useful extra tool, but feel free to ignore it!

Reigning Champions HUN A got off to a slow start with their new young star having his worst couple of weeks of the year
but soon recovered to take the lead and pulled away to 9 games ahead in the end. There followed an epic battle for 2nd
place involving no less than four teams, with AUS B finally prevailing after narrowly winning their match against HUN A,
the only team to manage that this year. Three teams pushed them close, with no. 7 seeds USA A just missing out and
RoW A doing particularly well, given their seeding point average before the tournament, to edge out FRA B for 4th place.

For the first week or so, GBR A stormed ahead in this group with GER A also looking fairly comfortable in 2nd, but after a
couple of years in the doldrums, the Australians finally found some consistently good form in a global competition and when
the Germans began to falter, AUS A took their qualifying place away from them, even looking to have an outside chance of
winning the group at one stage. Just like their B team, HUN D did very well to finish two places above their seeding position.

The only group with no team that had Ave SPs > 1900, this was likely to be hard-fought and so it proved. HUN B, with some
players whose Elos do not yet reflect their breakthroughs in the HUN Championship. Despite losing their match v GBR B, a
better performance v NZL B in particular helped HUN B finish just 2.8 TPs ahead of the no. 4 seeds. Amazingly, less than 3
TPs separated 3rd-5th places too! First GER B and then NZL B looked like they might even edge into 2nd at one point but
FRA A, weakened by losing their first-choice no. 4 soon after the start, overtook them both to snatch 3rd right at the end.

just 0.8 TPs (0.05%!) and FRA C finishing 6th despite winning two matches due to a huge 14-0 (with 1 draw) loss to NZL A.
