Yes, some of the choices were who cares vs. don't give a shit. While others were top channel vs. top channel.

The Flow - I check this out every month. At certain times, it gets real heavy, but at other times it's kinda spotty.

Got some good news and bad news.

The bad news first, originally Spectrum was listed twice then fixed it. Now tally the votes and just noticed 1st Wave is listed twice. For now, I'm going to let it go and one of its opponents will advance.

Since some matches were tough to decide and having some odd numbers going into the next round.

The good news, we will have a special round before the 2nd round for the losers and a certain number of channels will have another chance to compete and advance to the 2nd round to make all the matches even again.

 

[Wolf]

Don't know if anyone else wants to vote or not, I know it's an Holiday weekend. I'm gonna set a deadline for the 1st round votes. This Friday by midnight eastern time zone.

This weekend, I plan on getting the special round going before we head into the 2nd round.

 

[sadchild]

Yes, some of the choices were who cares vs. don't give a shit. While others were top channel vs. top channel.

That's why I did the the 'great 8' in the two-hit wonder madness and the 'sweet 16' in the can't believe it's not a top 40 madness, to keep the favorites from being eliminated too early.

I won't be on tonight near the deadline time. so I'm bumping it up now. Here are the official results from the 1st round. I figured out the results and worked around a special round. The 2nd round matches will be posted sometime tomorrow. Thank you all for whom voted.

 

[Wolf]

I might post the matches later today or possibly tomorrow, meant to post this yesterday. Here is the preview for the 2nd Round.

In the OLD bracket, 22 channels would advance. But there were two ties and brought it to 24 and there were 8 channels that had 3 votes. The perfect amount to create 32 as these channels received their 2nd chance.

In the NEW bracket, there were two ties. We have 34 channels advancing with two matches being a three-way match. I originally had 1st Wave listed twice and I wasn't going to merge their tally together. In their matches On Broadway received one more vote then RockBar channel to advance to the next round.

I ranked all the channels by the amount of votes it received, then randomize them.

 

[Wolf]
