Sarah and Ben were losing 0-1 in the BO3 because of the results of the round robin against their opponents. They are now 1-1 and they will play against versus this morning against Andrew and Aaron for qualification. Aaron and Andrew still have a chance.
Daniel and Eric won versus their opponents in the round robin and won in the first knock-out round, so they are both qualified for semi-final.

So, the tournament is over and we have another AGA Pro. That's five so far, all shodan. Is there a mechanism for any of these pros to be promoted or are they shodan for life?
