Special Awards
Special awards are sponsored by 
Last season a pool of 200 ALIVE was divided between the best player who didn't make it into the main part of the season and the best player eliminated in the first part of the season. This had two flaws:
- players eliminated in Round of 16 of Consolation Cup were excluded
- due to different number of games in Champions League and Consolation Cup, I had to calculate averages
This Season the pool will be divided between the following players:
best eliminated player in Qualifiers - 50 ALIVE
-- ex aequo@asia-pl and
@liftslikealady - total score: 35 (4 matches); the award is divided between the two
best eliminated player of Consolation Cup Round of 16 - 50 ALIVE
--best eliminated player of Consolation Cup Round of 8 - 50 ALIVE
--best eliminated player of Champions League Group Phase - 50 ALIVE
