Well it turns out that Frank has wanted to abolish the extra tournament tiebreaker thing anyway, with a tiebreaker of his own design. I kinda forgot about it actually, since the last time it was applied was 2 seasons ago.
Both group I's had a tie for 2nd place and in both groups only 2 of the 3 in the tie got promoted. Here's how I resolved it and will continue to do so in the future.
I looked at the players they beat outside the tie, so in group I1 it's:
Bananashake: 5th - 6th - 7th
Master Bjarke: 5th - 6th - 7th
Swimming Potato: 1st - 6th - 7th
I add all of them together and the player with the lowest score win. The Swimming Potato therefor gets number 2 spot since he beat the number 1,6 and 7 (= 14) which is better that 5, 6 and 7 (= 18). Bananashake and Master Bjarke are still tied though so I looked their result against eachother, Master Bjarke beat Bananashake so gets 3th and Bananashake 4th.
I2 tiebreaker was resolved in the same way:
125ch206: 5th - 6th - 7th
Master of Desaster: 5th - 6th - 7th
Bigchps147: 1st - 6th - 7th
Master of Desaster won against 125ch206, so gets 3th
