Season 15: Playoffs - Round 1
Good day,
16 players have made it into the Playoffs. They are paired in predetermined way - A1 vs B4, A2 vs B3, (...) D1 vs C4. Round 1 is composed of the matches for each pair.
Match One is based on the players' average score from the Group Phase - scores therefore already known.
Match Two will be played tomorrow (Wednesday, Feb 28).
Average scores from the group phase
Playoffs - Round 1 Pairs
As mentioned before, the scores are group phase averages.
Pairs P2 and P6 look as the most engaging, due to very close scores. In all other 6 pairs the bookmakers would easily point the winner, but nothing is settled yet. @macfit loves surprising results!

Final Four (4 match days)
Mar 7-10 (Thu thru Sun)
- winners of Play-off Round 2
- "walk alone" mode
Interestingly we have two AU vs PL pairs in the playoffs (P1 and P6) - and on top of that, the winners will face off each other in the second round!
If you look at countries represented here:
PL - 6
US - 2
AU - 2
BG - 1
CZ - 1
GH - 1
PH - 1
PK - 1
RO - 1
They represent 5 continents: Europe (9), Asia (2), Australia (2), North America (2) and Africa (1)
Truly global competition!
only S. America is missing

a gentle reminder for the Playoffs participants - today (Wednesday) Round 1 is played. Be active and do not forget to publish your regular @actifit reports.

Breaking:

P7: (D1) @masoom - (C4) @sk1920 27:15 AND 24:18
