The official overall league tables are not published yet, so I've done my own version

I still think a Stresnakova-Maloney type match would have been really interesting. Katarina was just one set away from qualifying, and played one match fewer than most. I know Eliz had already topped the group by the time she played Freya, but Katarina did actually get better results against the 2 other better players in the group (Alice and Freya), but hopefully that's a match we can see down the line in future editions, and indeed vs Emily as well, but those 2 have certainly been the most consistent over the past 3 weeks.

I was wondering what Maia was up to in the 'missing players' thread, seems she was finishing her dissertation, but yes, would be good to see her playing this event again, and Lily would be a really good edition as well, assuming most of the remainder of the field were fairly competent. And I wouldn't lose sleep if Graovac didn't feature again.

Great! I think I read somewhere that 10 points were being deducted from Lissey's tally because of a later withdrawal from Week 3. Not sure if that's still the case though

I just took the week 3 table and added the week 4 points. Not sure what has happened about Lissey, we'll see when the official table is published

Is there a qualifying system or is it an invitational event?

Purely invitational although how that happens is not clear
