it looks like the use of double and single quotes could be at fault

try writing it like
$sql = "UPDATE round1
        SET game1='" . $game1 . "',
            game2='" . $game2 . "',
            game3='" . $game3 . "',
            game4='" . $game4 . "',
            game5='" . $game2 . "',
            game6='" . $game6 . "',
            game7='" . $game7 . "',
            game8='" . $game8 . "',
            misc='y'
        WHERE username = '" . $sidarray[0] . "'";
