I got it for the Canadian one to.

The contest is so unfair to people with slower internet. It lagged SO badly for me. Frustrating.

I finally received my confirmation for Phase 2 in Canada – it arrived today, but only AFTER the final phase has already started. Weird!

Good luck, all.

I haven’t received an email either for Canadian one – and I got 11 for that too… hmmm.

Thanks admin and Co. It would be disappointing not to advance to phase 2, but I enjoyed the challenge of mapping out phase 1. I don’t think I will ever look at a fork in the road quite the same way, now!

The blog has been fun and I have especially enjoyed WP and Kim – it was big of you both to make up and I wish you well.

My condolonces to Admin for not advancing either, especially since you have put so much work into the website etc.

It’s also interesting that the US version says “finalists were contacted with a link. Thank you for playing”. Whereas the Cdn site just says “Contest is closed. Thanks to everyone who played. See you next year.”

@pt My son and I mapped it out and the games are identical so 11 is the shortest route.

I haven’t received my Cdn confirmation either. I did get one from the US game. (I realized after I played that I wasn’t eligible and then found the Cdn site.) The rules state the everyone who makes it in the shortest route qualifies for the final.
Has anyone received a Cdn confirmation yet?

@pt I made it in 11 here in the states and never got a confirmation either. My feeling is that perhaps only a set number of players made it to the final phase.

Has anyone playing the CANADIAN version of L.I.F. received notification of advancing to phase 2 yet? It is supposed to run 19-21 July, but I haven’t received a confirmation email. Perhaps 11 forks is not the shortest route in Canada??

Thoughts??
