Not until Marko had ousted Stefan and Daniel T had ousted Marko. If I recall correctly, and I missed the beginning.

It was. Stefan and Daniel W contested Jake and a vamp from start, for quite some time.

Swedish ECQ 2013 - Continental Qualifier
Göteborg, Sweden
March 30, 2013
41 players
3R + F
I'm so sorry about that, it must have slipped my mind when I reported it. Anyways, thanks for pointing that out!

41 players at a qualifier event = 11 players qualified + the organizer if he didn't play
Did the organizer play?
Who are the 6 non-finalists that qualify?

Isak did play. I took the attached screenshot after the tournament if that will help? Note that place 9 is contested and I don't know the rules for that.

Ties are inclusive, so if they are completely tied, both qualify.
The qualifier list has been updated to match.

Thanks Stefan!
Once again I'm sorry for being unresponsive. Here the qulifiers, there was a tie for 10th place so both of the got to qualify, making it a total of 11 people:

2 2 17 Magnus Karlström 1 8 1 156
2 3 23 Daniel Wiberg 1 5 1 126

Does this also hold true in Nationals where finalists qualify?
So if the fifth place is tied, all the tied players qualify even though only one of them goes to finals.

Historically, no, because there was a tie-breaker.
I wouldn't be opposed to it.

41 * 25% = 10.25 = 11 players
So, yes, all 12 you have listed are on the qualified players list.
(Can't have part of a player, so all decimals round up.)

How can the fifth place be tied after the finals?
If, before the final round, there are two players tied for the 5th place, the tie will have to be resolved in the usual way (e.g., a coin toss), and only one of them will be among the 5 highest-ranked players.
Before the finals, a player's rank is not final, and therefore prizes such as qualification could not be awarded yet.

Tie-breaker, gotcha!
Tried to look for this in the tournament rules but couldn't locate it. Probably just me...
I'm not opposed to this, but is tied fifth place in Nationals REALLY that different that having the last qualifier spot tied in an ECQ?
Losing due to tournament points is one thing but losing because of coin toss, well, suck a.. big time.

Both tournaments are continental qualifiers, regardless of how many qualifying slots each has available. So it is not really that different if we compare a National Championship with 50 participants to an ECQ with 20 participants. In each event only 5 players would qualify.

Agreed.
