I’m happy to see that in my group, “only” two players have timed out, the remaining 8 ones playing on a reasonably regular basis, rather quickly by the Tournament standard.
Only one game finished between those.
I’m the lowest ranked in my group, but have good hopes of win in 2 of my 7 remaining games. Which would lift me up to 8 points at the end of the round. Not that bad

It’s nice that there are still so many players and games. I wonder now if this is in fact the biggest tournament that ever existed? If you put away perpetual ones like ladders ofc.

I think it’s definitely the biggest ever on OGS by number of players and number of games.
Outside OGS I don’t know.
My only experience with large live tournaments was at the European Go Congress in Pisa, Italy back in 2018. There was a weekend tournament with a lot of players. That was huge for me, being used to tournaments with less than 40 players. But I don’t know the exact number of players and probably that wasn’t the biggest in the EGC history, let alone in the world.
(Edit) The official site for Egc 2018 has an article on statistics. It says that there were 900 participants in the main tournament.

In Hamburg we have a school chess tournament every year. Max. participation was 4.240. It is only a 1 game event, but it is called ‘tournament’.
I would be surprised if there wasn’t something similar for go somewhere in Asia.

Ah, on closer examination you are right, that sneaky 6 hugging the green line to disguise itself 
All the other numbers are not on the line itself. What would Tufte say ?

I chose for automatic placement of labels. Sometimes it makes some questionable decisions. 
The same information is also in the bubble chart: the gray dot on coordinates (0,0).
There the number is properly placed.
I didn’t know about Tufte. I googled and found a book titled “The Visual Display of Quantitative Information” which seems very interesting and useful for my work. I’m very happy I discovered it and very thankful for you pointing that out.
If you have other similar suggestions, they would be welcomed.

So glad I got to introduce you to Tufte, and that it is related to your interests. That book is really interesting. My wife worked in Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and turned me onto it. Beware you may become an anti power point snob if you read enough of his works I just found it strange that the one number of all the ones from that chart ended up on the line, when the others were all clearly not overlapping. The map of the Napoleonic wars by Tufte is a great example of his analysis and concepts. I also find the visualizations on the YouTube channel 3blue1brown by Grant Sanderson very well done, and most of is explanations fascinating. Thanks for your great visualizations, even if the tool glitches occasionally.

While we’re on the visual display of information, may I also suggest Chartparty by Jon Bois

It was by someone long before Tufte but certainly is one of the best examples in the book!
