For those of you "on the bubble"...

[tpaterniti]

As of now 17 people have not played enough games to qualify, and probably at least 20 more will not check in. If you don't a.) come to this site regularly, b.) have a photographic memory, or c.) check your email daily (and many people don't), you would not know that you need to check in today.

I would say that at least through 285 will get in, especially since 11 more people between 256 and 300 have also not played enough games to qualify.

So if you are "on the bubble" and probably in, choose your games wisely or wait until tomorrow to play ranked games. That is what I will be doing.

I'm at 168 right now and I'll be watching football tonight. Unless I slip significantly by the time I check later, I see no reason to chance it.

I figure there will be around 45 - 50 people that are dropped as a result of not signing in or not enough games. That gives me lots of room.

[ScottyP]

By my count right at this moment (yes, I'm that bored at work) there would be 125 people in the top 256 that would be dropped as a result of not signing in (111) and not enough games (14).

I feel fairly safe knowing that almost half the top 256 haven't even shown up yet.

[sleepyjay]

One more win and you're defiantly good.

[ScottyP]

But a loss could screw you .... you take your chances either way. :)

It ends at midnight.

[JoshCA916]

well from what i just checked 71 of the top 256 have either not checked in or dont have enough games played so that means alot more people get in

[ScottyP]

Yup. I've just been hovering right around the 160 mark. Didn't bother to play tonight since I'm watching the game. I'll ride my 5 game win streak into this tournament and hope for the best.

[Stiler]

I just need one win :(, I lost a game earlier that would have made me in for sure, this sucks.

I went from 780something last night down to 320th, now I'm back to 471st place.

Argh :(.

The last player to qualify in the tournament was ranked 443, so a lot of guys that probably weren't expecting to make the cut got in.
