Matthew Tassier Amazingly, in a copy-and-paste from their Ben Nevis encounter ... Three times Chris went ahead, and three times Sam overtook him before Chris won the final round to squeeze through.

Notes from the organizer: Second round of the Normal format tournament, two weeks after the end of the last round to play the games. Full bracket available here: https://challonge.com/MontBlanc
Note the departure from usual rules below ...
Scoring:
Tied rounds will be awarded to the player who climbs the highest in their intermediate calculations, providing that peak is higher than the final declaration. The other player will score 0 points for the round. If both players have reached the same peak in their calculations, or if neither player has gone above the final total, then the round will remain tied. However, if both players have declared the same distance away from the target, one of them above and one below, then the player declaring above the target will win the round if the other player has not reached at least that number on the way to their target.
For assessing the intermediate totals, dead ends in your calculations will be ignored. That is, there must be a path through your calculations from the intermediate total to your final total.
There is no doubling/halving of round scores in the knockout tournament, that was just a mechanism to make the seeding round work well.
Any tied games will be awarded to the player who has reached the highest point with a scoring solve anywhere in the game. If this is also tied then there will need to be a replay. If you are keeping track of scores then feel free to play the replay before I've added a game to the system, but please just mention in chat that that is what you are doing.
Bonne chance!
