Hello,
After 5 matches, 10 players have secured a slot in the playoffs. They will now battle for the Top 8 - which allows to skip the Knock-Out Round and have rest over Christmas (the said round is for players in places 9 to 24). 3 players - @bucipuci, @danmaruschak (Defending Champion) and @merthin - are still unbeaten. Two players - @sk1920 and @asia-pl haven't won a single match yet.
Worth noticing - compare the results from Saturday to those from Sunday. It's a Sunday laziness, as it happened, the schedule paired the lowest ranked players on that day.

After 7 Match Days, the top 8 players will advance directly to the Playoffs, Round of 16 and will be seeded there.
Players ranked 9-24, will play and additional Knock-out round and its winners will join R16.
The table order is determined by:
- points,
- total score ("For" column)
If these end in a tie, the direct match will decide and if still unresolved, the position in the @macfit ranking before the season will be the tie-breaker. For not ranked players, the position achieved in Qualifications will count

@bucipuci, @danmaruschak, @merthin, @manuvert, @erikklok, @browery, @new.things, @ptaku, @fredkese and @cezary-io - congrats on securing a place in the playoffs (I should also add @benbow2017, although mathematically he is not certain yet).
The last two Match Days will decide who finishes in the Top 8. Places 1-8 result in direct promotion to Round of 16 (skipping one Knock-out round) and... a rest over the Christmas days.
There will be some interesting duels within the group mentioned above in the last 2 Match Days. @itz.inno, @racibo and @actifit-godfish will be more than happy to make use of stumbles of the top players.
wew. this is tight
yes, we only play 7 matches each and there are 32 players, the final standings table will be tight
Thank you
@sk1920 - you are the most unlucky player so far. Your total score should have placed you securely in the playoffs, but it's wins that count first. Nevertheless, two wins in the last two Match Days should be enough for you. Good luck!
Lost by a small margin
indeed. Now you have two more challenging players on your schedule - @cezary-io and @bucipuci. You are close to Top 8 (and match-free Christmas)!
Hoping for the best.
