^{Of note, several players had started the season already with 1 or 2 bonus points, dependent if they had played in the last 2 fun tournaments!
Players can switch between the tournament tiers in case their rating changes!}

We have our first tournament leaders, Hive account@romeo9612, Hive account@b0s, Hive account@fcastro177 and Hive account@tony1294. But of note, if tournament 4 stays so small, it will be merged with tournament 3!

See you all next week - and keep practicing!
