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!

Our own logs are also showing respectable traffic going out to all the participating strips, and we’re getting reports of people reading entire runs at a shot– which has got to be spiking numbers for everybody, which was part of the idea.

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

comicmixmarchmadness550x681-4103420Round 3! We’ve taken sixty-four popular webcomics, put them head to head in a single-elimination tournament, and are now down to sixteen!

We had a couple of upsets in this round: XKCD losing to Kawaii Not, Questionable Content pulled ahead of Multiplex (thereby wrecking my hoped for battle between them and Theater Hopper) and in a battle that went down to the wire, Penny Arcade beat Sinfest by one vote.

We’re going to start stepping up the pace of voting: Round 3 (Sweet 16) will start tomorrow and last until Wednesday, Round 4 (the Elite 8) will start Thursday and end Saturday, Round 5 (Final Four) will start Monday the 28th and run till Tuesday the 29th, and the Championship battle will start Wednesday the 30th and end on the 31st.

Mix March Madness Webcomics Tournament: Round 2 Play By Play!

  • News
  • March 18, 2011

comicmixmarchmadness550x681-5421982As you’ve seen if you’ve been following the site at all this week, we’ve taken sixty-four popular webcomics and are putting them head to head in a single-elimination tournament. As a result, it’s been a very busy week here at ComicMix, and we have less than 35 hours of voting in the first round, so we wanted to point to some of the highlights.

The contests getting the highest vote totals right now are Gronk vs. My Sister the FREAK, followed closely by PvP vs. Erfworld, which is not quite as bad a blowout as last time, but Erfworld is still looking pretty strong.

But 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– if you haven’t voted, your chance is right below! You get to determine who makes it to the Sweet 16!
