Bret's Cup .... Round 2
Jan,
You did not advance because of the tournament format. Only two players per group can advance and drako advanced because of the tie-break system used. He was seeded 8th in the tournament and you were seeded 9th. Being seeded behind him meant that you needed to score above him to advance because a tie would go to him.
Yes it is difficult to go forward having to leave some good players behind. You played some good games.
