Tabemasu and I had an enjoyable game, which he deservedly won by 26.5 points:

That's it for round 7a, and I've seeded Magicwand and HermanHiddema into the losers' bracket.

Now that we're getting near the end, let me map out what the rest of the tournament looks like:

Shaddy and Tabemasu are the last two players in the winners' bracket and will play each other to determine who goes to the final match.

In the losers' bracket:

HermanHiddema will play the winner of Violence vs [lindentree or Jonas].
Magicwand will play the winner of Araban vs [freegame or Dusk Eagle].
The winners of those two matches will play each other, and the winner of that one will play the loser of the Shaddy/Tabemasu game for the right to play in the final match.

Note that it's very possible for the loser of the Shaddy/Tabemasu game to make it right back to the final match!

The final match matches the leader of the winners' bracket leader with the leader of the losers' bracket. The winners' bracket leader only has to win once, but the losers' bracket leader has to win twice. (This is because you are only eliminated from the tournament for losing two games, but the leader of the winners' bracket won't have lost any games yet.)

As always the current standings can be found here, which I hope is your home page

Jonas couldn't play this week, and I'm going to be in LA this weekend for the Cotsen, so we'll try to play our match as soon as possible next week. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Jonas has unfortunately had to withdraw due to real-life constraints, so lindentree moves on to play Violence.

I need a week before I can play this match. I'm swamped with work, and early next week I'm moving up to Vancouver.

Violence (B) v. Lindentree(W), W + 4.5

I somehow scraped out the win, but I don't feel I played especially well. Any comments/review would be appreciated.
