43rd Amateur Series Division 4

[mar]

Cheng won with 28 points. Nirvana and Rodent tied for second with 27 points. Sadly Nirvana lost its last round to an opponent that it never gave up even half a point to . Good luck in Division 3!

Thanks, Thomas! Head to head, Nirvana is slightly stronger than Cheng in my tests. 44 games is simply not enough, but that's tourneys (plus don't forget Graham's random book . I still believe all three engines deserve D3.

Hey Graham do you have final results? It was sooo close between Nirvana, Cheng and Rodent. (don't tell me cheng finished 3rd

Sorry about the delay. Had a Saturday morning sleep-in until 7am.

There is a chance that all of the top three will promote, but I can't promise anything because a lot could happen before the next series.

Thanks for following the tourney. It was a goodie!
