You have been eliminated

Checking out the larger (25 player) of the two Italian Game tournaments that I have been playing in at Chess.com, I noticed a new icon, the meaning of which appears to be "You have been eliminated". A 4-4 record placed me third in my 5-player group, and probably 11th in a field in which only 10 will move on to the next round (see "Counting").

Still, I was able to score a win with the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+) against my group's top finisher, narvi, to whom I wish the best success.

The 20 player Italian Game tournament, where I finished at the top of my 4-player group with 5-1 (2-1 with the Jerome Gambit) remains. The second round has not yet started.
