  Could you say what the rules are for who goes when one of the group winners does not?  It may make a difference to how high up people try to qualify, or whatever.

  Seems that it would be the runner up in each bracket BUT FMags is going despite Birchi winning that bracket and also going? #confused

  Obviously, some who qualified couldn't make the trip.

  We both realised that, who goes as a replacement was the question.

  If a qualified player is unavailable we reach out to the runner up in their same bracket. If that player is unavailable, then we reach out to the highest seeded runner up. 

  If that player is unavailable then we would reach out to the second highest seeded runner up and so on.

  Champ, 

  Not to sound stupid about social media, which I am, and since I am not going to be up at 1 AM ET Thursday, will those links work after the tournament ends?

  Figuring 60-90 minutes per game, 3 rounds, it should be over before I wake up so I'm thinking re-runs.

  Tom.
