I think we can officially conclude that this tournament system is a complete failure on the tournament organizers fault. I just figured out that I did not advance from my group. One of the players who did advance, however, was a bronze terran player who I stomped. The only reason that this bronze got wins was because of walkovers.

In the end the bronze terran went 4-2 in the group, with all his wins being walkovers, and all his losses being 0-2

In the end, I went 4-2 in the group HAVING BEATEN THE BRONZE TERRAN! Furthermore, I played out 2 of my wins, and 1 of my losses. 1 of my losses was a walk over because I didnt show up, but the other loss was a 1-2.

How does it make any sense that the bronze player should advance when we are both 4-2, with me taking a series off of the player, and the bronze player ONLY getting FFW?

Wait I thought that they would reset group standings before the start of the next round. Do you know for sure that prior round scores come into effect with the amount of FFW people experienced in the first round? Doesn't seem fair, only myself and 1 other player have had 7 games played...so we're up a match? Can't be right, I hope not.

1 of my losses was a walk over because I didnt show up,

I'd imagine they just want people who will show up. And less FFL you have, more likely it is that you'll actually show up for your matched. (There are probably exceptions where some ppl just had some freak thing for 1 game but with as many people as they have i would imagine they have to have a clear line, and can't look at a case by case system.) I figured they'd do something like that, so i rescheduled my match with my opponent on my last 2 matches (my GF was gonna be in town so i knew i might forget to show up) so i got those done in the first few weeks. But yeah, my guess is they just want people to actually show up and so they can tell other sponsors something along the lines of "over XXXX matches were played in their tournament" And i doubt sponsers care about the quality of the group stage matches as long as top players make it in to the final 16 or something like that. Sorry this happened to you dude, but at the same time, i can understand why GeForce had to do this

I went undefeated in group play what happens now? I haven't gotten any e-mails or anything.
I found that im in a new group but when do I play? There isnt a timer at the top of their website counting down anymore.

My group has only 1 person with 2 losses, while the group after me (who has the person who advanced as #2 in my prelim group) has 4 people with 2 losses. Also my group has a person who's 7-0, while the group next to me has no person who's 7-0. It seems that if the scores carry over, it'd be much harder for me to advance compared to the person i beat out in my prelim group, just due to the difference in starting point... They really need to reset the score when the qualifying starts..

You should see the new group you're in. I haven't seen the schedule of play with them, but I atleast see who is in the qual-group

Yes the casters pick which matches they are covering. I believe they have people looking out for good games to cast. Also they are doing Destiny vs Ace.
