Special request Mr. Organizer: Could we see an overview of the knock-out stage showing the tournament brackets? Please  Thanks

If I understood you right, you are particularly interested in semi-finals matching?
Here is semi-finals x-score table.

Well almost  If you type "tournament bracket" in Google, you will see nice images of what I'm looking for but what you gave is already good info...  What is good for the participants is to get this info at the very start of the stage so that each one can gauge how difficult their path to victory could be.

Anyone else still playing or can I declare myself the champion for being the only person to have won a game in the K/O stage?

Can I be the winner yet?

We can play the final now because it seems that all other players have dropped out!   ) ) )
Khalid and I finally managed to play our QF game... Sorry for the delay, which is a bit unusual in my case. I had a business trip followed with holidays in the Alps without computer... Many thanks to Khalid for the efforts made to play this game as he was abroad when we played... I'm very curious to hear what can be delaying the other games... difficult to imagine that other participants can be busier than us! 

Jéré  302 - 257  khalid

I had a great start, think luck was on my side. Played aggressively deploying meeples from the City of Carcassonne and built up quite a comfortable lead... but the whole game I had to manage a high level of risk that Khalid would come back because he was first to claim the best farm (and pretty much the only one) with his barn so I knew he would score a huge amount of points... tried my best to join my barn to this very valuable field but Khalid made use of his abbey to block my attempt. Good job!. Other scary moment happened when he forced me to remove my knight from a large city with trade goods (that only needed one tile to be completed)... with some luck I managed to get it back later and close it. Towards the end I needed curved roads to score more points with the farmer-pig-barn combo but it took some time for the tiles to appear so Khalid managed to block my guys with some brilliant placements.
I was leading in the points from start to finish but I've never been confident I would win... there were some stressful moments. Well played! Cheers

Danisthirty and TheSteveAllen have found another Count of Carcassonne rules implementation inconsistence, so we need to wait for another small JCZ update from Farin. He is informed about it and will make a release as soon as possible.

Is it bad? Possible to workaround? Because khalid and I are trying to schedule our game tonight or tomorrow before I leave for business trip and holidays after.

Congratulations Jéré!

1455 also looks to be a new CarcC record!

Thanks! Seems so! ...but "the curse" is whispering my name already.... 

Although, what it doesn't know is that I have ear plugs.  )

Hi ahri,

If you want, I can send you a link... only to you for now, in case someone is faster than you and grabs the last copy or something... 

There you can get in the old art-style:

Major expansions: Traders & Builders, Tower and Bridges, Castles and Bazaars for 12,50 EUR each
Small expansions: Minis #1 and #2, Dutch/Belgian Monasteries, Phantom for 3,70 EUR each

You have to send them an email for shipping cost to Croatia.

Hope this helps,
Jéré

Participation in this group is very disappointing. 3 players have been inactive for over a month (no new results posted since last game played).
