Hello,
Round 1 of Consolation Cup Eliminations is over. We have seen a lot of W/Os. Is it communications issue or players are simply not interested in participating? I don't know. In previous seasons I used to ping players for reports. Not anymore - I simply don't have that much spare time to chase everyone.
You can post with either TODAY or YESTERDAY option. Still, if for any reason you don't manage to do that, I'll give everyone 24h (counting from my post for given Match Day) to supply a proof of activity (screenshot of @actifit Activity History) in comment section of the relevant MAcFiT post. This said, the burden of the proof is on the player, I won't chase anyone.

congrats to @markhodge - he was the only player who advanced without W/O granted by their oponent.
Round 2 of Eliminations
Consolation Cup
Winners from Round 1 of Consolation Cup qualifiers are matched against losers from Champions League Round 1. The best will face the worst from the latter group. Sorting is by aggregate score from Round 1. Due to W/Os in Round 1 of CC eliminations, the players who advanced with W/O in their favor will be sorted by their actual step counts. The two players who got "bye's", will top their group for the sake of seeding (which is fair, because the "bye's" resulted from good performance in the pre-qualifications).
P1: (CL1) @romualdd vs @griega(CC8)
P2: (CL2) @martusamak vs @notak (CC7)
P3: (CL3) @milabogomila vs @kiel91 (CC6)
P4: (CL4) @homesteadlt vs @mushanov (CC5)
P5: (CL5) @zimnaherbata vs @stefannikolov (CC4)
P6: (CL6) @davidesimoncini vs @markhodge (CC3)
P7: (CL7) @sandraa1 vs @dontcare89 (CC2)
P8: (CL8) @kwsnomzys vs @axel-mccornstack (CC1)
Matches are on this coming SATURDAY (Feb 5) and MONDAY (Feb 7)
The 8 winners will advance to Consolation Cup main phase. The losing sides will have to wait for Season 7 for their next chance.
I wish everyone here good luck and I do hope that there are no W/Os.
@aliveprojects Eliminations Award
The best player eliminated in Round 2 of Consolation Cup qualifiers, will receive a special prize sponsored by @aliveprojects - 100 ALIVE. It will be decided by total score across both rounds of qualifiers. Current standings:
I have highlighted players who, in each pair, have LOWER score from Round 1.
For the players who got "bye", I will double their Round 2 score.
Champions League
seeded players are matched against player coming from Round 1. The highest seeded faces the winner of Round 1 with the lowest aggregate score in that round. Due to W/Os in Round 1 of CL eliminations, the players who advanced with W/O in their favor will be sorted by their actual step counts
