Really good mix for the SFs.

Great R1 with some notable casualties.

At least the too late play-off votes went to players already through, if only just.

 The Ginny/Jo one was all square until literally 1.29pm, when a vote came in for ginny to win it by one vote; another came a few minutes later, when it was done and dusted. SO that literally was nip and tuck.

Good round and Semis should be classics! 

 

This must be the people who put their bid on e-bay about 1 second before time is up.

 exactly! It was probably my Dad, he does that!

 As a consolation, I will formally award Jo and Ann Jones equal 19th places in the overall event !

Some pretty good 3rd placers. A repechage round for them might have been interesting. But I first kind of thought of that when we were well into the R1 poll so thought it too late to suggest as it could have changed some voting dynamics.

 No room for losers in this game, Indy, this is all about finding that one true favourite!

I have a break in teams meetings now until 4.30 so going to get the semifinal polls up and running! be up in next 20-30 mins!

Ended up not being too devious. Plaudits to anyone who gets the connection in the semifinal group names and how I have structured them?

lets see if anyone else gets it and then you can spill the beans, The Addict (just to make sure you have the right answer!)
