Sorry for the double post - only just saw this.

Kinitaria seems to have had some rotten luck this cup. Not that I mind... since I seem to be in the running for second with both of my nations. Yes, including the hundred and something high ranked one. And the hundred and something low ranked one.

To bring this back on topic, the last matchday will see two of the four teams still in contention in group 7 face off against the other two teams in contention. Cue last day deciders.

That's assuming a bit. There's a lot that can happen in G9 and it's like a 4-way race for 2nd place. Don't rule out me or Darmen. I think we can all agree that there are several tight groups this Cup that won't be fully decided until the last match day.

Personally, what's most aggravating, besides a failing PC that doesn't allow me to easily RP, is that I have a bye on the last day and so any additional points for the 2nd spot contenders are out of my hands.

Actually, you can most certainly count me out. I'm really disappointed with myself for not getting any RP's up so far. For the past couple of days its been procrastination that's kept me from posting rather than a lack of inspiration. My apologies.

Yes, considering that his worst case scenario could be finishing as best second-second place, he will qualify under the criteria of "The best three second placed teams go to WC directly" so, this is noted and fixed.

On a more serious note, sorry to my groupmates for the lack of RP lately. I've been in Connecticut with the family for my aunt's funeral and lacked the time or adequate Wi-Fi to make a post. I have a final post planned, though, so I'm keeping up hopes that should have been inevitably crushed ages ago.

Some team status were fixed to reflect their real status regarding WC chances or securing spots, in group 13 both teams are already qualified because even if Mizuyuki lose today, in the worst case scenario he would fell to the third best among the second placed teams, securing to Mizuyuki the auto qualification, also a friendly note regarding cutoffs for this Matchday and the rest of the tournament.

Today's cutoff will be 20 minutes earlier than the last three days, and the cutoff for the Finals will be on a window from 8:00 PM - 12:00 AM CST (9:00 PM - 1:00 AM Eastern - 02:00 - 06:00 AM UTC) due to possible unexpected visits to my family.

Apologies in advance.

Also my deepest apologies to you Saint James, I'm sorry to hear that.
