March Madness 2016! Hail Hail wins!

[epilogue]

Hey Stip, why'd you lock IMT v RM with one new tie-breaking vote instead of leaving the round open until the end of the next round? Like you have for EVERY. OTHER. TIE. so far? What's that about?

I'm glad you said something. I have been waiting to calm down before going off on his *ss.

I'm sure there's a logic explanation.

Later rounds only get sudden death. It is in the rulebook.

LINK?

IT'S KICKING OFF!

stip, can you fix the Final 8 bracket? Why is IMT in there?

[epilogue]

Maybe he subconsciously anticipated his error in closing a round prematurely because the song he wanted to win went up by one vote, which he didn't do at any other time. And that In My Tree is making up for his terrible mistake.

2/8, fuck you all.
So IMT is eliminated and Go is still here, gross.

There will forever be an * by that stat, though.

Stip: The Patriots of the RM March Madness Tournament.

Never forget

Two reasons:

1. Pursuant to article 5, section 8, clause 6, all matches ending in a tie are to be kept open for one more round, on account of the lameness of time breakers. The one exception is when holding the match open potentially delays the rest of the tournament (quarter finals and beyond) where every match is included in the particular voting cycle. In those cases the matches will be kept open for a small amount of pre-determined time to determine a winner so that the tournament may advance.

2.

Spoiler: show

BECAUSE FUCK IN MY TREE, THAT'S WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This tournament is a fraud!

also, just to be clear, the match was extended by an hour. The winning vote arrived in that hour, and the round ended at the end of the allotted hour, not with the addition of the vote.


In My Tree will square off against Syrio in the losers bracket.
