That's a wicked cool figure Captain Blood.  I can only imagine the difficulties, especially as those in the top tier need to keep battling those in the top tier.

Tellus, if the Admiral beats you a second time, I will compensate you by excluding you from the top end of the draw for round 9... Which should mean you get an easier match next time round...

I think I would feel more comfortable if you just proceed as normal,but I appreciate your offer.If I get kicked the second time by the Admiral I think I won't be in the top 16 anyway,so it may doesn't matter at all.
You really got a hell of a job here as we all can see,so this things can happen.Don't worry about it!

Doesn't matter where you end up on the table Tellus, this league has proved you are a damn fine painter. 

I love your style.   :-*

Very nice entries from the both of you! Tellus, your fabrics and bases are delicious again, though of course this entry is not as colourful as the vikings, for example. I also really like the monsters, the different shades of green bring more life to the basically monochrome models, very nice! Oh, and those bases with the shells, fabulous!

My sympathies to you, Captain Blood. Just looking at that spreadsheet flays my mind. I've not the right part of mind for such 'librarian' tasks o_o .

Captain Blood, and everyone else,

It is very hard to run a multi-round tournament of this kind.  Here are a couple of suggestions from my experience:

Randomly pick the match-ups for the first 6 rounds, only adjusting if you accidently get a rematch..

The last three weeks become a round robin for each group of four so

Group A is 1 to 4 from the first 7 weeks
Group B is 5 to 8
Group C is 9 to 12, etc

Feel free to adjust the bottom group or two if you have an odd number in the last group

Each group them play each member once in the last 3 weeks so the final 3 rounds for Group a would be:

Week 8    Week 9    Week 10
1 vs 4      1 vs 3      1 vs 2
2 vs 3      2 vs 4      3 vs 4

It is OK for rematches to occur in the final 3 weeks - this will only happen if two players in the same group happened to play in the first 7 weeks.

This format ahould make your life MUCH easier and is likely to give a clear winner. 

What do you think?
