Rodney in, everyone else still has a chance

[recoveryjones]

Rodney Morris is in for sure in all possible tie break scenario's.

All the other four players are still very much in it.
Efren is the favourite however and may need to only win one of his next two matches to take a tie breaker with the best percentage mark.
Ortman and Efren have very simuliar percentages and if they both go 3 and 2 it's going to be very very close as Efren is only .66 of a percentage point ahead of Ortmann.
Ortmann needs to win and win big to closen up the percentage gap,if tied at 3 and 2 with Efren.
If Ortmann loses one and Efren wins one , it's Efren who joins Rodney.

Deuel,Immonen and Orcollo(virtually deadlocked percentage wise) all need minor miracles.

If Deuel arises from the dead once again, I'm going to go find me a bridge to jump off of.

Mathematically Rodney can still be out.
First, if he loses both sets his % drops to at least 59.75% (assuming he goes double hill both times) or worst case, to 57.96% if he gets blanked 8-0 both times.

One Scenario:
If Morris loses his next 2, Ortmann can get in with 2 wins and 11 games lost for both matches. His overall % would be 59.81 - which would move above Morris.
If Reyes wins his next 2 then it's Ortmann and Reyes.
If Reyes wins only 1 - he can still get over Morris's % with a few different wins/loss combinations. For example, if he wins one and gets 4 in the second one, he can lose a 4 games in his win match and still get above Rodney.

I'm sure there are other possibilities - including a 16-0 rampage by Duel, and an 0-16 slump by Morris, which could get Corey into the finals...

Every game counts! This is a GREAT format!!!

According to the IPT site, and scoresheet, ALL of the players still have a chance. Morris has three wins, but any or all of the other can still score three wins too. Morris must win a fourth match to be assured a spot in the finals.

Not anymore. He's got a 4-0 record after defeating Orcullo and is guaranteed through to the finals. Go Rodney! I'm picking him to win it all.

P.S. Someone confirm this info please, but I think Orcullo, Deuel, and the loser of Ortmann vs. Immonen are mathematically out.

The only guys that have a chance playing Rodney would be Reyes and the winner of the Ortmann vs. Immonen match.

I look for Ortmann to get to the finals, he's playing special and his knowledge of the game is so ridiculously strong.

Awsome, I really hope that Rodney wins the whole thing. He is one of the best players to have never won a world title. And with the players that contested this tournament along with the format, I think this world championship is every bit as prestigous, if not more so, than any WPA world championship. The money is nice too.
