Lagavulin's rule is unique - it's top 10 straight out - they have to beat level 10 to be even considered to qualify.(posted 8797 days ago)In 1943kai, if you're in the top 5, you qualify. 3 is the minimum because of the three medals/joysticks/whatever. Gold, silver, and bronze.
It's up to the game coordinator to place in more top people to qualify, but I forced at least three.
I'm going to update the qualifing stuff - and tell you who qualified for each game and at least one way how they qualified - so at this time it's better to hold further questions until I get that done. I'm afraid that I have way too much work to do right now. :( GB9
