Yes, new participant will continue competition as is and with 0 points. Everyone in group A and C has a shot at the Eliminatory stages (see the Qualification requirements) so even if you have 0 points you will still have an opportunity to redeem yourself.
The point of this group stage is to determine who you will play against on the playoffs. I will elaborate on this later today, also, I will post additional statistics.
*with this in mind, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, AND PRACTICE, as you can see from the group standings, players are pretty much even in skill. If you practice (spotting, and controlling your plane at low altitudes so you dont crash by accident) you may be able to get far
"good luck on week 2"
