2:30 on Saturday, half way through Round 5, and it’s time for a few updates! We have just had the first redraw, though as the draw was published 25 minutes early and it pretty much only affected the top tables, it was spotted and dealt with within 5 minutes. In fact, the draw had not even been announced, but people can find it when the app tells them an upload is available! Clever stuff.
Starting with the top 10 group tables, the group fixtures look like this:
| Table | Home | Away |
| 1 | The Linemen | Lutece Noobz |
| 7 | Team Waterbowl | Parabellum Joker |
| 13 | Azes Tech | The Holy Six |
| 19 | Team Hellhound | Blueyard Carnage Crew |
| 25 | Tana dei Bidoni | Los Favoritos |
| 31 | Mas Galactikos | Los ayudantes de Santa Claws |
| 37 | Joe le taxi | Masters of Tilea |
| 43 | Kick’Azes | Turone Bashlords |
| 49 | Luccini | Les Déchus |
| 55 | Pilous | Team NRW |
Spain vs France on top table, and England v Spain below them. Mas Galactigos dropped down after a defeat by the Linemen, and Waterbowl bounced back to the top tables. Joe le Taxi and Masters of Tilea on table 37 onwards features two of the early favourite teams – could one of them be “submarining” for a second half charge to the title, or have they left it too late?
Individually, we now have 21 coaches on 4 wins, and as it is a team tournament these coaches will not necessarily be playing each other, so this number could stay high. The first tiebreaker is net TD + net Cas, so the individual standings look like this (apologies for formatting problems!).

Moving on to the important one, who has been beating up people the most? Necromunda is leading the pack here with his Piling On Ogres, and a massive 30 in 4 game, with Draco’s very similar team hot on his heels!

What of the little guys? Casper’s Goblins are in 199th place, Knaegten’s Ogres in 404th and Jeguan’s Halflings in 447th, so the greenskins are winning that battle at the moment. A long way to go however!
