Nemek-- I've skipped you a few times (since you didn't have your tank team), but I can't find you now lol. Also some terminology confusion: bracket refers to the players you are facing, which seems distinct from the other bracket/group, which is the leaderboard group right?

The phenomenon where you only see the same people has been called MMR Hell, MMR Bubble, MMR Island. Also, too bad about not seeing my tank team!

I noticed that you didn't have as many points when you cycled around again and didn't realize EvilBeavers had a tank team out. ...once your tank team was out, I then proceeded to get another few hundred points out of you, though... My tank team is out now at around 2100 points. Probably won't push again until 8 hours before the end of the tourney for the 2400.

I'm sitting 3rd at 735 and haven't pushed hardly at all this tourney. Oddly its kinda nice to just chill for once (not to mention there is no way i n hell I'd be capable of racing with you lol)
