[The Red Jaguars]

Sounds good, I will be looking forward to voting in this. Also, some of these matchups look really good too (Cobra Staff vs. Annie Oakley, Kamehameha vs. Atahualpa). I was wondering when this will start.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

At long last, we finally get this going, over a year later. Good stuff, and good matches too.

[GreenMonkeys#1]

We just have to wait until February 6!

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Fine by me, can't wait to begin.

[GreenMonkeys#1]

I doubt there will be tiebreakers, but if there is, how should they be broken?

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Maybe keep the poll open for an extra day? I don't know, how did we do it in the past?

[The Red Jaguars]

You could always hold another poll and the first episode that reaches 3 points or some number will win that matchup. I hae done that on other forums, and it seems to please most of the masses.

Just a quick reminder that the tournament will start next Thursday .

[The Red Jaguars]

You mean you can't start it a week early? Just kidding, I can wait another week. I am looking forward to how this turns out as I think we will have some surprise episodes winning certain rounds.

[Purple Parrots Fan]

Right now, I see very few surprises. Looks like we're looking at a lot of one sided poll results, like when you did these polls. But, I'm not complaining. They all got to start somewhere, right?

You will find those in all kind of tournaments. I had that problem with my "Best Legends Win" tournament where a great win gets paired with a bad win. At least we don't have matchups like Snow Cone vs. Bifocal Monocle where a completely undeserving episode gets to advance while two great episodes get matched up together.

Yet I see choices like Snakeskin Boots/Cricket Cage and Galileo/John Henry. I already know what I'm voting for there. Not that it can be controlled or anything. Sometimes randomization is funny that way.

[The Red Jaguars]

Here is some matchups I can see be very close and could go either way:

The Paintbrush of Leonardo da Vinci vs The War Fan of the 47 Ronin
The Imperial Purple Robe of Empress Theodora vs The Melted Head of Madame Tussaud
The Pendant of Kamehameha vs The Golden Jaguar of Atahualpa
King Tut's Cobra Staff vs The Leopard Skin Cloak of Annie Oakley
The Jeweled Necklace of Montezuma vs The Lion Slashed Jacket of Sacagawea
The Very Tall Turban of Ahmed Baba vs The Mysterious Manuscript of Mary Shelley
Pecos Bill's Lost Lariat vs The Broken Wing of Icarus
The Bonnet of Dolley Madison vs The Thornwood Gavel of Judge Roy Bean
Henry VIII's Great Seal vs The Electrified Key of Benjamin Franklin
The Missing Eye of David vs The Sacred Ring of Sultan Suleiman

First poll is tomorrow!
