Do you know if you need to pre-register for this or if it will be an open event?
The Pre-Pinburgh event is an open event.

Getting hyped by watching one of the best ball 3s by all four players on a finals game that I can recall. The amount of crazy saves, bounces, and skill moves involved in ball three of this game is just astounding!

Best/most stressful game Iāve ever seen. This was Pinburgh at its peak for me ā watched this with my mouth hanging open and my head in my hands the entire time.
I would like to take this time to thank the kind people at ReplayFX for the fact that āIntergalacticā will be running through my head for the next month, reminding me of my frosh week.
Please join me in this constant trip down memory lane.

When all four (or six) games have been completed by a group
How can a group play 6 games?

I think groups of 3 used to play six games with 2/1/0 scoring to avoid half points. That has since been changed to a standard bank of four games with 3/1.5/0 scoring. Maybe this is just a relic of the old rules that didnāt get cleaned up?
I could be completely wrong on this. Iām sure @bkerins can clarify.
Didnāt know about that, thanks. I played in a 2-player group for round 1 of Pinburgh 2015. Would have been fun to play 12 games 
Holdover language from years past I think. 3-player groups used to play 4 games, then the first 2 in the next group or something like that. It does state that records are still multiplied by 1.5, so doesnāt look like theyāre going back to 6 games (which would be even harder now anyway given how saturated banks are).
Yes, thatās correct, all groups should be 4 games now. Unfortunately the 2-player group resulted from no-shows, but thankfully we had rules to deal with it. Iām hopeful for far fewer no-shows this year. Iāll look into getting the rule changed. If you see anything else wonky, let me know and thanks!
In other news, there is still time to cancel Pinburgh tickets for a partial refund, for someone who is sure they cannot attend.

Bowen: skimming through the link last night, I noticed that the Group Assignment examples used 700 players as the basis. I think this is still fine for showing the reader how the tiering structure works. Iād simply edit the language at the end of the examples to say that: āIn the case of less than or more than 700 playersā¦ā Bold/Italics is inserted text.
