(Problems with formatting the tables. I've recently updated to Office2010 and IE9, and it's probably due to that. Sorry!)

Good progress in starting up new games. No games remains to startup in previous rounds! Good working!
Many games affected by players with closed accounts. Some results adjusted due to this fact.

Exiting battles ongoing in many games.

Good progress starting up games in Round 8+9. Only two games are still open for registration.

Four teams seem to fighting about to be the top-3; Team Russia, Team Romania, Team Germany, and Team Poland.

And four teams seem to fighting about to avoid any of the three teams that have to leave the division: Team Slovakia, Team Italia, Team Sweden, and Team Turkey.

A lot of games affected by cheating. The results are only adjusted for finished games. The results will be finally adjusted also at cut off.

All games started!
A lot of games finished.
The results are adjusted for some of the finished games.

Seem like Team Russia is going to win this season! Hard to beat!

Team Germany is #2, closely followed by Team Romania.
Team Romania have more individual games to finish and still able to hit Team Germany.
This is exiting!

Exiting battle in the bottom!
Team Sweden, Team Slovakia, Team Turkey, and Team Italy is fighting to stay.
Only one of them will make it. 

Here some of the games that still can impact on the final standings:

Team England - Team Poland Started # 103-99 208 97,1% 147-48

If Team Poland win this, then will they ensure to be the #4.

Team England - Team Sweden Started 78,5-75,5 170 90,6% 137-44

If Team Sweden win this, will they most probably ensure to stay in Division 1.

If Team England winning this games are they still able fighting against Team Poland to be #4, otherwise they loose their current position (as the #5) and may only be the #6 (after Team Bosnia-Herzegovina).

Team Bosnia-Herzegovina is hunting behind Team England and have possibilities get a 5th place, if Team England not succeed to win any of the games against Team Poland or Team Sweden.

We will following the progress!

I think Team Russia vs. Team Romania is the biggest match until now, played at 280 tables.

Team England and Team Poland fighting about to be the #4.
Team Bosnia-Herzegovina seem to be the #6.
Team Slovenija and Team Spain fighting for to be #7.
Team Sweden, Team Slovakia, Team Turkey, and Team Italia still fighting for to be the #10 and keep staying in Division 1 for next season. Team Sweden have pretty good opportunities to make it, but Team Slovakia and Team Turkey have pretty lot of games to finish and may are able make it, while Team Italia hadly will do it (but still could make it as well).

NEWS: Dramatical change in the top of Division 1!

A certain adjustment of the match result between Team Germany and Team Romania had to be made!
More player accounts have been closed for Romanian players since the match finished and the results originally was adjusted!
10,5 points more to Team Germany, and 10,5 points less for Team Romania suddenly change the match results in favour to Team Germany: 182-170, compared to 175,5-176,5 at last update.

The impact of this is that Team Germany take a certain step forward, while Team Romania loss position!
And....Team Germany suddenly aren't so far behind Team Russia and may can get them a challange in the final end!

Most dramatically!
