Here you will find every player who has finished 9th at one of our tournaments — that placing which is perfectly respectable and yet leaves you out of the knockout rounds.

Anyone who plays tournaments knows how much it stings to miss the cut by one, so we have also decided to humiliate whoever ends up there in public: we let them touch the winner’s playmat, but not for long; we award them a quarter of a patch, and they are required to take the photos of the players who did have a good tournament and made the top 8.

Below is the list of everyone in the hall of shame, and a photo of the latest 9th place.
