https://lichess.org/2fFgOerW/white#0 Won vs Decem gg bro
MZ Thank you very much for hosting this tour. I kind of regret not asking for activity wins when my opponents were dead since i think i had 2/3 rounds like that haha. Would have had the chance to play in playoffs if I did. Still it's casual chess and its for fun.
I hope we do this again, maybe even start a thread on chess and chess tournament discussions for the more serious chess players!

Alright let's do those playoffs. 7 people tied for 1st place with 6.5 points in the advanced bracket. All 7 qualifiers signaled their interest in continuing to playoffs despite the length of the tour, probably because 1st place is still winning either $50 or $25 + a 1-year gold membership for Chess.com (just to remind everybody what's at stake). I was planning to set up a quicker single elimination bracket but the qualifiers said that they would prefer a full round robin to decide the victor and who am I to argue with that.
Advanced Bracket Playoffs
Bughouse: 1 point, 5/6 played
Cdumas: 5.5 points, 5/6 played
Kingler: 2 points, 4/6 played
Royal1604: 5.5 points, 6/6 played
thelinearcurve: 2 points, 4/6 played
Yoda2798: 0 points, 6/6 played
ZestOfLife: 2 point, 4/6 played
Bughouse Cdumas Kingler Royal1604 thelinearcurve Yoda2798 ZestOfLife I am not setting a hard deadline for obvious reasons, no extreme johns please.
e: To be clear these are the same bo2-type matches as before
And just for the sake of having all of the final games in one place:

https://lichess.org/zPHJGk20 Got way ahead, and then turned my brain off and all of a sudden Ash had a spectacular mate. Congrats on sticking with it when I think we both expected it was long over! Thanks for the tourney, GG all!
Edit: Wow at a quick review, was up +10, then a small blunder but still up +5, and then totally blindsided by a mate in 4. Hell of a finish!
