Seeding updated with last minute drops out, please check because Alessandro was seeded in 3rd group so basically all the groups below 3rd group have changed

It looks like it's going to be a hell of a ride, gentlemen. Have a great world cup, and remember to raise a glass for those of us who were dying to be there but couldn't make it.

We will do it!

Good job with the seedings - I haven't seen the final position list but it's going to correlate strongly with the seeding groups. I did my best to shake things up lower down the grid!

Good seeding - here are our final positions:

Dagh 1, Gianni 2, Andy 4, Thor 6
Chris 3, Fabio 5, Oliver 7, Steve 8
Frank 10, John 11, Jacob 12, Sandro 13
Marco 9, Lee 14, Lorenzo 15, Robert 16
Rodolfo 17, Michael 22, Jörg 25, Jørn 26
Paolo 19, Cornelius 23, Michele 27, Torgny 31
Stephen 18, Peter K 20, Ian 21, Peter S 29
Dennis 24, Thomas 28, Jaume 30, Wolf 32

Like Milano 2016, all the top 16 seeded players made it to the Top 16.
Stephen and Dennis were the only ones to finish two groups higher than their seeding.
Jørn and Torgny had the organisers' curse.
Biggest shock was in the first group stage: Jaume 7-3 Jörg.
The seventh seeds outperformed both the fifth and the sixth seeds.

Right you are Ian, "Organizers Syndrome" (tm) hit me really hard this year.

Well, that and the fact that my ko2-skills have detoriated big-time the last few years.

And yes, Jaume - Jörg is quite a surprise.
