6 Lymantatia 5 0 5 27 110 −83 0.000


cuz if it were. I would be in 4th due to the fact I beat Mytannion 31-9, and have a smaller point difference.

I wouldn't worry too much about the tiebreakers right now if I were you since there's still a set of games that have to be played. When you're closer to the end of group play, you should worry about the tiebreakers (which you should be able to find info on in M7's host bid).

Yeah I dunno what is going on there, generally it fixes although right now don't worry about it. After about MD8 when teams are starting to get eliminated or qualify on tiebreakers I check them all thoroughly, so she'll be right.

That is probably the closest I've gotten to a cutoff when posting an RP. It's a bit scary when you hit 'submit', go back to nssport, and immediately see the host posted... heh. Had to do a little research so that I actually had a plausible argument to make, which made it such a close shave.

On the WBC, today actually, I was 12 minutes after Lycrabon posted this:

Scary as heck. Luckily, he was 14 minutes to the cutoff, not 10.
