That's right, the posting deadline has passed and now it is time to vote. In each case, I've linked the appropriate blog entry next to each participant's name. Please read both entries for each match-up and then cast your vote for the one you liked better. The person with the higher vote total moves on in the bracket - the loser is out of the competition. We begin with 31 people (the top seed had a bye) but by the time the vote is complete we will be down to 16 bloggers. All votes must be cast by 9:00 PM EST on Sunday, August 12.
Round 1 pairings and card assignments:
Card 1:
1. Carlos Salgado (entry - despite the bye!) vs. (Bye)
16. Richard Nebe Jr. (entry) vs. 17. Scott Sawyer (entry)
Card 2:
8. Dan (entry) vs. 25. Mark (entry)
9. dkwilson (entry) vs. 24. Eric L. (entry)

11. Jason (entry) vs. 22. Kirk Jacobson (entry)
Good luck to all the competitors - and remember, keep it fun (and civil) please! You may feel free to do as much begging and pleading on your own blogs as you wish in order to gain more votes. And, since my vote is only cast in the case of a tie breaker, you might want to throw me a little bit of a bribe "just in case."

Some tough votes this time around. Good work by all!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the lack of a post, I had to travel for work and couldn't get blogger to load on my work laptop, they blocked it! :-(
