Sorry, thats my bad...I didn't realise you weren't meant to put your names on it!

Ohhh! Naughty naughty!
Dont worry about it though, keep it in mind for the next few rounds ;)

Aw, shucks, thanks man. So's yours. I'd say more, but true to the rules I don't want to give away anything identifying just yet. :smoov:

I'm in.

i'm about to end my birthin' sabbatical and post a volley in my battle with dri...that's something...

em.. If you want everyone to sign up, why not send a PM message to all?

might have to put on my creative spectacles then.

OOoo OOoo Round two. I'm ready to rumble. lol or crumble ;)

We have decided to shift the schedule of the tournament by a day. This is to allow the voting to span part of the weekend but also Monday -- that way the users who only get onto FK while they are at work during the week can vote as well.

The voting for round 1 will be closed up tonight and then later tonight or tommorow morning the round 2 pairings and stock images will go up.

I likes that idea. I was surprised at the low votage going on. Plus this will allow for one weekend day for people to finalize thier images. I was silently wishing for that type of a schedule. Thanks for the update Dri, and once again GREAT JOB!

Since the votes havent changed much lately and there arent any scores within a vote or two, the round 1 polls are now closed. Congrats to the winners and thanks to everyone who was in this round. From what I see, the people from round 1 who will advance are :
mandissected
pointguard
mr_malee
NJP3
Dave-O
Markp.com
e-sharp
TheDevilRidesIn
hightech

If I made a mistake like putting the wrong name to the wrong image (as I am sure I probably did at least once) please tell me and I will fix it.



The artist names for each image are now above the images in the voting threads so you can all see who made what.

It was annoying holding this in but great image e-sharp. Keep the quality of images at that level through out the tourney!

great job everyone...it was a tough vote for all images! Congrats to those who moved on, and i can't wait to start on my image.

Nice start everyone. Congrats to those that moved on. And for those that didn't, get into the Arena and get involved in some battles, improve those skills. I expect to see you all next year.

Now.....Bring On the Noise!!

I smell some big clashes coming in round 2...

round two yo, round two.
those weren't the prelims, they were round one!

Sorry.....edited ;)

so when will the official groupings and images for round 2 be listed?

and since the voting was held off a day will that shift due dates and voting times for everything?
