2006 World Cup - Group E
Group E of the World Cup (which corresponds originally to the following countries).

Italy
Ghana
USA
Czech Republic

Final Standings:
Backgammon
1. Pedro Martinez
2. neznalek (18 points left)
3. arpa (71 points left)
4. Czuch Chuckers

Important Rules:

*Top 2 Finishers (of each group) will be invited to the FINAL SINGLE ELIMINATION tournament, to define the Winner of the World Cup.

*Please notice the time limit! The game consists of two games. Like in football: two halftimes! :)

*If there are ties in the group final standing, the tiebrakers will be done in the following sequence:
1) S-B (as calculated by Brainking)

2) Overall less points left in Hyperbackgammon and Backgammon. (the less points left in all games, the better - so it is not good to resign a game, even if it is lost!)
Overall boats still afloat for Battleboats Plus (the more boats have not been sunk, the better). If a player resigns, all boats are considered sunk (for the loser) and all afloat boats at that time count as afloat for the winner

3) Flip of a coin (done by me) OR one normal extra extra game between the players that are still tied after 1) and 2) in backgammon and hyperbackgammon. For Battleboats+, the player who has the better hit-differential wins the tie-braker (squares hit - squares hit by opponent). If there is still a tie, then I flip a coin.

Hopefully no coins will be flipped! *1*

Have fun and good luck!!!
