Correct, you want to be above the red line. Everyone under the redline will lose life(s). You are safe for now.

Also, I will do my best to at least twice a day update the elimination-board. Although, most days I will update it more than twice.

I have just updated it.

Yeah! I was hoping sooo much to get above this red line! The thing is that with the alphabetic classification, I don't know how close I am of returning under it :lol:

I have 2 differents designs that would take less pieces, but I just can't make it work...I don't know why, I have the feeling that I'll be frustrated by some players design that will be quit the same, but working :lol:

I won't give up on this round!

Just noticed that the entries are alphabetical. At first I thought I was the closest person below the elimination line, now I realize my name just starts with the first letter. Hopefully, my newest submission will be enough to trade spots with someone. Thanks for hosting this great comp.

I love the idea of the elimination board because this way you never really know how close you are be being safe or to being eliminated.

Also, it would help me out alot if you put the number of pieces and the number of ticks of your submission in the subject in every PM you send me. And it would also be good if you could make sure that there is a space before and after the link in the PM's. Thanks :)

Also, i just updated the elimination-board. Be sure to take a look because it changed quite a bit since last time.

I just looked, and it didnt help :oops:

I just cant think of a way of doing it with less pieces than i have ( i bet ill kick myself when you show us the results )

Unless we all have it with the same amount of pieces but i'm just slower in getting there

Well back to the drawing board then i suppose, think i'll have to look at it with fresh eyes (again) and see if i can spot how you are all doing it with less bits

If any of you feel comfortable with your current solution and feel like you need an extra challenge, try solving round 1 with :brown: or :sweep: or even both.

And DOINKSTER, I don't think you ever posted your :brown: solution for the qualifier.
