This was quite gross MFO for me in terms of qualifiers. Not really sure how many hours invested but I did have over 300 qualifiers total. Towards the end quality and quantity got better somewhat, but at that point motivation was pretty much zero sadly.
Non qualifiers were pretty damn good - 19/8 19/11 18/9 vita/lr scs, 15life/5allress one, 15allress/12fhr GC, 34 pnb charm, 19 life cold charm, Vex Ohm, Sur, Ber, Gul and couple Ists from runes.
Obviously 12 IK mauls, 3 Rixot Keens along with standard share of tc3 uniques almost as high as tc87 didn't help with motivation even slightest. 5 facets total; all unusable. Didn't even manage to level my barb, probably due to two deaths and playing sorc+nec a good bit + rolling maps in middle of MFO. Also why you nerfed Azurewrath points. Finding two of those was just ugh.
GL to rest of you running/result sent.

Watching phar's stream totally demotivated me, so results sent w/o any additional running. Let the battle for third place behind Gripp/maareek begin!

Final results sent. 1,393 runs through the Tunnels for me. I feel like the Diablo gods were fair. The final day was only one of two where I was unable to improve. Better items dropped at a steady pace, for the most part, which helped keep motivation up. Looking forward to the standings!
Still ~20 minutes left for me, but I've had enough. Update sent. My best 2 scoring items dropped this evening, and 4 best after the last update, so I'm guessing I've climbed the standings a little more. Still, if I come remotely close to the winners, there was a dearth of top-end items for this MFO. 
Overall, no grailers (still at -4) and my best rune was a Fal, so my two main goals entering the tournament (find a grailer and/or at least one high rune) didn't come through. But I finally got into the Pitbarb build enough to enjoy it properly, and as a result my total number of runs (555) more than doubled my initial goal (250) - so I had enough fun to state this MFO was a success personally even without a bunch of leet itamz.
Thanks to Fabian for hosting and nulio for supervising. Looking forward to the results, and good luck to all.

Ran right up until midnight, but I failed to get another bump in score after Wednesday night (well, last increase was somewhere around midnight wed/thurs, to be precise). Oh well, was expected, and my score is still quite good, but having a score that will be hard to improve and knowing you can't possibly win without improving it is a little rough on the spirit, to say the least. I never aim for winning an MFO, though I never stop trying to if I'm in, but I do always aim for top 5 and I'm a little worried whether I'll stay there this time. *shrug*
Anyway, just over 46 hours of AT put in, 46:07:13 if we're counting, and 3541 runs (which is probably over by 12-15 because of a couple deaths and a few hotmules) feels like a pretty good showing to me. I can tell I haven't done this lots of clicking stuff in many years, though: my hands hurt, my wrists are saying mean things about me and even my forearms are tired. Fastest run was 31.383 with 5 packs, best run was 8 packs at 38.4, best 9 pack run was somewhere over 42 seconds. Meh, never was the fastest.
Non-qualifier highlights I can remember: two Jahs, making that the highest rune I've ever picked up, a Gul, Natural GC of Sustenance, Cobalt of Vita and Garnet of Vita SCs, +4/-5 poison facet, 5/5 lightning facet, 40% chancies, 39% Gheeds and 100 Perfect Gems from my map's shrine, and I know there's more stuff that I can't remember that was pretty sweet as well. Honestly I cannot complain at all about luck for the MFO, even though I won't win.
Congrats to all those who ran on your finds. Thanks to Fabian for hosting and to nulio for being the supervisor.

Everyone was a good boy and sent the results already. My excel rocks so posting the results is just a matter of copy & paste and a few touches.
Grats to everyone! I'll comment more later.
I just need to get the read-outs of three players and then I'll make thread, etc. Or do you guys think I can do it already?
