It is recommended that players check the results of other boards because your standing is derived from (a) how well you perform on your board and (b) how well other players perform on their boards when playing the same country you played.
All players start with 50

and gain or lose points as the tournament progresses. If you have any needs, PM me and I will look into issues as they arise.
One final note, we did get 3 full boards of paying players so we will have the following awards:
1st Place Tournament Champion
2nd Place Tournament Runner Up
3rd Place Tournament Runner Up
Best Country Awards for all 7 countries awarded by center count
Best Stab Award voted on at the completion of the tournament.
Good luck to everyone and I hope this tournament goes well and that we can make this an annual event.
