Mathematics are great...

Paris Paris : Defdamesdompi - Eukalyptus : 4-1
Eukalyptus had the wrong priorities and I wonder how I lost that one game. What seemed like a doomed quali after 2 matches looks again a lot better now. Leaving Raphaell out of focus, I'm in second now with one win more than Yggdrasil, which means if I win by the same score to Raphaell as Yggdrasil does or better, I get the second spot, my ticket to the BSWS... so keep those fingers crossed for me.

Soooo...

Lost Cities : Defdamesdompi - esther1972 : 4-2
We played quite a few close games at the start and I won the first 2 which I think got me the overall win. I only needed to win this match to get into the real BSWS LC stuff, so I'm successful =)

Paris Paris : Defdamesdompi - Warlordnemesis : 4-1
Luck on my side this time although my opponent made more than one clear mistake. If I go on like this AND Yggdrasil has some bad luck, I stil lhave a small chance...

And the story continues...

Funkenschlag : Defdamesdompi - Radin : 20-21
Radin started off very newbie like according to me, but apparently it was vice versa. Although I made a 10 money mistake again in the end, it would not have made a difference in placings. So the next 2 games will be pure for fun it seems =)

Can't Stop : Defdamesdompi - redrun : 3-0
smoothly Quali almost secured

Bazaar : Defdamesdompi - Laura2910 : 40-34
Laura was very unlucky in the start getting lots of purples which were very hard to get rid of. Until I uncovered a 4 purple combination of course =). Then we got into an even score before the last 3 scores of which I made 2 to take the win.

Manmanman...

Funkenschlag : Defdamesdompi - campino : 21-21 (210-211)
Can you believe that ? But this time it wasn't bad luck, it was me. I got lucky during mid game getting the good plantations, but then I started blowing money and in the one but last turn I lost like 15 money on burning the wrong plantation. At least campino won all of his 4 games, so it's up to me now to win the remaining 3 games and get second in the group to qualify..

Gruppe 10
Spieltag 3
Defdamesdompi - Yggdrasil 3:1

Hiho,

Since I have quite a few qualis to play, I already started out yesterday, so here’s my yesterday’s story :

ParisParis : Defdamesdompi – Yggdrasil : 3 - 4 
Yggdrasil was the one who kicked me out of the semi-finals last year, so I was eager to get some revenge, but unfortunately I could never take a lead : 0-1, 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, 2-3, 3-3, 3-4.

Can’t Stop : Defdamesdompi – Yggdrasil : 3 - 1
So we got into our next quali match and this time it worked out better. I lost the first one and while Yggdrasil had the better start in the next 2 games, I was able to sneak out 2 ‘from behind’ wins. In what turned out to be the final game I got the better start and I could claim the match playing on safety. This means one more win in 2 matches should normally get me qualified.

Backgammon : Defdamesdompi – kevinffm : 4 - 8
Next up was the ‘to quali or not to quali’ BG match 7 game. I got a great start winning 2 games for a 2-0 lead. Then I accepted a double which I lost on one pip ; 2-2. The next game I I accepted another double which I lost on 2 pips ; 2-4. Then I won another game and apparently lost another doubled one : 3-6. I raised my score by one point thanks to Crawford and then I doubled to possibly get a 6-6 deciding game. But in that game me and my supporter candy witnessed quite a few miracles. While I was in a position of possibly getting a boost 8-6 win, kevin rolled all the right numbers and won the game himself ; 4-8. Which means I’m out and it’s up to ara to get a Midgard BG medal…

ParisParis : Defdamesdompi – BigFerret : 3 - 4
To complete this dreadful day I played another PP against BigFerret who had beaten Yggdrasil by 2-4 already. Since only 2 out of 6 players in our group will proceed, a win against him would have been very valuable. But it turned out differently. 0-1, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-3, 3-3 with a very close win and then finally it was 59-59 before the last 2 rounds of game 7. Since BF had a double in Odeon and I didn’t have any centre double, these 2 rounds were deadly and now I have to hope that I get 3 big wins against the remaining players and sneak out a second place based on the ‘games won’ tie-breaker.

That’s it for today. Tune in soon for another episode of ‘Defdamesdompi does BSWS’ !

Huhu!
Da PR ja leider die BSW verlassen musste, möchte ich euch hiermit informieren, dass sich in meiner Resi ab sofort Backgammon befindet. 

Insbesondere wohl für DDD interessant (STL und BSWS) 

Unfortunately not for that last one anymore, as you will read in the BSWS Vorkämpfe results thread... 

mes félicitations, chère lyrique !

ara was too nice to me. She even made 7th place in KuK last year and now would sit out !
Here's the good news : there is no preliminary for KuK, which means we can play all 5 of us =) I asked Lysiana for confirmation and she confirmed 

I'm afraid I will have to resign from KuK  , unless everyone of you have time to play on Sunday after 22:45
There's also a slight possibility of catching me tonight around 23:00, or Sunday between 20:45 and 21:45, but I can't promise these things. These are the only possibilities for me to get into BSW the coming days.
