Congrats Trag
I did a bad job at keeping up with the voting and the discussion, but I wanna thank MD for his efforts. He had some interesting ideas and showed genuine enthusiasm, as opposed to the simmering resentment that seems to gradually overtake tournament leaders with each new round.
I do think the method of selecting third place was a little wonky. Shouldn't it have been a matchup between the losing semi-finalists?

In hindsight, it probably should have been. Throughout each phase I was trying to find ways to include (and reward) teams that may have had a bad matchup in a previous round, but still performed well. So much of these tourneys is determined by the luck of the draw. I did a couple different calculations, but determined the average number of total votes made the most sense for the final two teams in consideration for third place. I was going through a few things earlier in the week and shot back instead of explaining my rationale.
I'm glad the two semifinalists had the most votes and you were a deserving 3rd place winner.

Twisted Metal 3 and Twisted Metal Black > 1 and 2
Definitely played a lot of 1 and 2 back in the 90’s though.
