Here's the new stats after the first day of Round 2.  We have a new name up in the top spot.  Tied with Alex Penev is Tom Gaffikin!  Tom, along with James Leare (Who have nearly identical brackets) and Miss April were the only players to score a perfect 4/4 today, netting them 8 quarter-points each today.  Matt Tanzer was predicted incorrectly 20 times (well over half), and Thomas Bolton had over 10 wrong predictions, so the matches were tough today.  Surprisingly, only three people of each group were predicted by anyone, Simon and Pulsar didn't get picked at all (except by Ngamer, who predicted blindly after the deadline).  The points add up fast in this round, where each correct pick is worth twice as much as a round 1 pick was worth.  Tough luck for the contestants who didn't get their Preds in for Round 2's early matches in time.  Reminder to all, the full bracket for round two is now up, so finish the second halves of your predictions.

your ranking is inacurate now Scott. Tom is alone in 1st and Penev is 2nd. You can't have a total if you're not converting the points since Tom's round gave him 8*0.5 (4) while Penev got 3. Which make Tom ahead by 0.5 over Penev. Something like 18 to 17.5 on the total ranking.

Round 2, second half preds:

I: Mollenhauer, Smith

M: Boudreau, Clark

Cole and I have no chance... 50 votes for karel and 60 votes for coopsy, 15 for me and 20 for Cole... jeez I need to come up with something... But with what? ...  Its like waiting for a bufalo to shit

Group N: Usher / Gatti
Group O: Lovera / van Duijvenboden
Group P: Abbey / Lecoanet

Here were are again!  Another (not so) exciting day of voting.  Today we had an AMAZING set of preds from EVERYONE!  There were only 11 incorrectly chosen names out of all our participants, good job to all of you for that.  Alex Penev pulled off the perfect 4/4 today again, to pull away from Tom again.  PYL was able to bounce ahead into 2nd place, as Tom only scored 2/4 in today's matches.  There was a record number of perfects today, with SIXTEEN 4/4s.  Sadly, eight predictors still do not have Round 2 preds turned in at all.  The most commonly missed karters were Stellmacher in Group C and Sargoth in Group D, with 7 and 4 picks, respectively.  Again today, as yesterday, only three people were chosen in each group; Gregor and Jamie were not picked by anyone to advance today.  I hope some of our friends with no Round 2 picks notice this and get them in soon, to avoid losing more points.  Also, a few people still need to complete the second half of their Round 2 picks.  Good luck everyone!
