Mix March Madness 2012 Webcomics Tournament Round 2–Vote Now!

comicmixmarchmadnesssquare-4597257UPDATE: Round 2 voting is closed! Round 3 voting is open right now!

128 webcomics are down to 64, and the battles continue!

The last round of voting was much more than we anticipated, with almost each of the contests getting more votes than last year’s final round. The server started to have problems, compounded with what we think might have been bot attacks to affect some voting. We took the weekend to try and get things right, and we think we’re ready for the next round. (And yes, we’re trying to figure out what remedy, if any, we should apply.)

Round starts right now, and ends this Wednesday at 11:59 PM, Eastern Daylight Time. We’re down to 32 contests, so go vote already!

Mix March Madness Webcomics Tournament: Round 3 Play By Play!

comicmixmarchmadness550x681-2448089This month we took sixty-four popular webcomics and put them head to head in a single-elimination tournament. We’re now in round three– the Sweet 16!

Erfworld continues its dominance in the brackets, with Kawaii Not showing surprising strength. Theater Hopper is surprisingly quiet, but they’ve gotten late traction before.

And at this point, nobody has an insurmountable lead– anybody can make a call out to their followers and retake the lead, and after two days of hand-to-hand electioneering at C2E2, the scores can really change. Every match is still too close to call.

So get your votes in– and see who becomes the Elite 8!

Remember– polling closes at 11:59 Eastern Standard Time tonight, March 23!
