I see 6 or 7 known groups that I indirectly will have affected due to a few of these people staying up too late the night before;). Hope it doesn’t show in the results!

Will there be a broadcast for IFPA14 / Epstein Cup?

I believe there is a team of people dedicated to making sure we’re streaming. I’m a fan of quantity over quality, so we’ll air as much stuff as we’re able to regardless of commentary being available or not.

This is the DPO link for the betting. WCO was over the weekend.

So a question to Josh on this: in the DPO side tournament they took 32 for the playoffs, but only 62 people played at least half of the qualifying games [3 or more]. Thus, they did not cut the field by half of those who fully tried to qualify; so then, the qualifying games then don’t count for TGP?
