    Slice 4 is now filled. Garrd is still first.

    Confirm entered at 32nd. Thanks everyone! icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Anybody in an open Slice 4 bracket? Looking to enter a fresh one before the first sub closes in 22 hours. Thanks.

    The way it's been running lately either it filled up overnight, or else it will not have come close to filling and probably won't for days (and will be either the last or next-to-last bracket in the event.) I'm going to get 100 points in the lighting round and enter - I wasn't going to wait for more than an hour or so this morning.

    Huh. I tried and failed to enter the game last night, I entered it now and it went right through the "pick your time slice" bit without letting me select again, so I don't know if I just entered now or actually entered last night.

    Doesn't really matter, though. Slice 4 is currently at 740 players. Actually, I probably entered right now since I'm ranked 723 before doing a sub.

    As a warning, it may or may not fill today. Leader is at Kojubat at 13128, #10 is Vhailorx at 10950

    Thank you for the update - yours is likely the last Slice 4 bracket that will fill.

    For your bracket to fill before the end of the first sub, it would need 19.5 players per hour. To fill before the end of sub 2, 10.3 players per hour.

    Based on a fill rate of 43 over the 16 hours between updates and the atrophy of the fill rate over time, I would assume that your bracket will fill in around 20 hours, between the close of the first and second subs. Any updates to confirm or contradict this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Slice 2 is 558. It's slowing down quite a bit, so I won't be too surprised if this is the last bracket of the slice.

    Thanks for the update.
    Would it be a good strategy to wait until after first sub node is completed? Or jump in now?

    IMO, your best strategy is to find a fresh bracket.

    You can roll the dice and hope slice 2 eventually fills, but if I were you I'd ask myself what other slices could I possibly play in and join the next fresh slice from those.

    This slice has potential for filling in the last 12 hours of the event, but it may also finish with 900+ and never fill. In the 19 hours between updates you added 332.

    Making assumptions:
    Next 24 hours, add 200.
    Next 24, add 120.
    Next 24, add 70.
    Next 24, add 40.

    That would put the bracket at 988 with 3.5 hours until it closes. Is that a reasonable rate of entry over time? Don't know, but if there aren't 200 new members in 24 hours, there is no more need to monitor this slice anymore.

    I hope this is obvious but everyone please remember to only list the size of your MAIN bracket and not your SUB bracket. Last event I went off an update saying a slice had filled and ended up at #545 in my main (but #27 in my sub) so whoever posted the update must have been talking about the sub bracket filling up.

    Thanks! icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Just joined slice 5 and my main is at 745. Top ranked is hector83 with 11762. Bad luck of the draw.

    Anyone wondering about slice 3: currently at 608, leader is Strmshadow at 17.6k, Alphablackhawk 2nd at 17.5k.

    I think this is still the same bracket as iliana reported about earlier, since I see Iliana666 is 4th at 16.4k. Top 10 is at 13.4k btw.

    Just to put it all together:

    Slice 1: 594 - lukewin leading 18 K

    Slice 2: 558 - Leader unknown

    Slice 3: 608 - Strmshadow leading 17 K

    Slice 5: 745 - hector83 leading 11 K

    Anyone have slice 4's data? It's the only one with info older than 12 hrs.
