As mentioned on the latest episode of the Kessel Run the player numbers and number of rounds created a perfect storm for this to happen. I’m not saying I agree with their decision, as personally it’s just not cricket, but FFG have created a structure that allows it and the number of rounds for cuts is one too many which can lead to this. The top five players were effectively playing a dead rubber in that they would mathematically qualify anyway even if they did lose due to the number of players at the event and MOV scores. This meant that the next players below them who were sitting on 15 points could not get into the top eight cut even if they won their last game, which a number could have and potentially three players could have swapped out had the games actually been played.
In a nut shell at the Roanoke regional tournament at the beginning of April the top eight all decided to all intentionally draw their last game of Swiss and thus all qualify for the top eight cut as they all sat on 20 or 25 points prior to drawing. The internet has been ablaze with the whole Roanoke Eight Intentional Draws debacle and FFG have responded.
