We managed to turn it around, and won the 3rd-4th-5th game.
4th: https://www.majorcommand.com/games/494548/
5th: https://www.majorcommand.com/games/496212/

Unfortunately, all 5 games in the finals were decided mostly by dice (as opposed to strategy). Especially this 5th game was brutal, my sympathies to F15 and sannheten. :-/

But hey, it's over, we won. I feel kinda like the unicorn in my avatar. Thanks to the organizer and every participants!

@BearNecessities, should I adjust the scores? The buy-ins were already paid at the start I assume, right?

Also, congrats to dorcee, looks like she's going to jump to 2nd place on the scoreboard with this. Yay!

Edit 1: I just noticed, the first two seeds played the finals. Nice!

Edit 2: And hey, we'll get a ribbon as well, right?

Congratulations! It was this tournament that got me into playing teams and repenting of my head to head singles fixation. MC so much more fun in teams! This was a great tournament and hopefully once will return and there will be another chance in the future for something similar.

What was the prize money in the end?

From the first page:
"We are going to be requiring a 50 point buy-in to participate. MC admin will be deducting the entry fee from participants upon the close of the tournament. The prize pool will be distributed to the members top two teams in a 75%/25% split. With 32 players, each member of the winning team will be granted 600 points."

So I guess the entry fee wasn't deducted after all. Ok. Gonna change the scores manually today/tomorrow.

I would like to say congrats to th-child, and dorcee. They were the Vegas Favorites on the betting line. I think they were even money to win the whole thing. I also want to say that F15 and sann kicked some A$$ getting to the finals.:top::ciao:
