The Play-In Sub-Tournament is almost over!!!
But not quite. Although Flights 3 through 6 produced clean results, sending a first and second place winner on to the big show, the first two flights both had a first place winner followed by a three-way tie for second.
In this Tiebreaker Flight, we bring those six tied second-placers back for one last chance at glory! We will use the familiar Flight Two rules:
- You can vote for two artists.
- One vote per artist per person. No "both of my votes for X."
- Example: Jansen, DeMuth, and Saendredam tie for second. In this case, Jansen will advance to the main Tournament because he is the highest seed, and it's just tough beans for DeMuth and Saendredam.
- Seeding strength, since you ask, is determined by the product of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 voting scores.
The Phase 2 TIEBREAKER Flight will be open only until Friday, May 23.

Adams and Demuth
ReplyDeleteThree really stand out to me: Adams, Paolo, and Saenredam. I vote Adams and... Saendradam.
ReplyDeleteLet's go underdogs! DeMuth and Saenredam!
ReplyDeleteAdams and Benton, though this set had a bunch that I liked.
ReplyDeleteOoh, owie! I voted for all of these in the last round, and nominated 3 or 4. And...I'm going old school, with Saenredam and Giovanni di Paolo.
ReplyDeleteCountering mrs.5000 with the 20th century and my votes for Ansel Adams and Theo Jansen.
ReplyDeleteThough I *almost* voted for Saenredam because I really like his massively tall spaces. But I like possibly-might-become-self-aware-recycled-material beachwalkers better.
As much as it pains me to not vote for Ansel Adams, I'm going to have to go with Benton and DeMuth.
ReplyDeleteOh my. I like them all. Well, okay...
ReplyDeleteThomas Hart Benton and Pieter Saenredam
Adams and Saenredam
ReplyDelete(yes, it pains me not to vote with di Paolo or DeMuth)
Adams and di Paolo
ReplyDeleteJansen and di Paolo!
ReplyDeleteMan, every time I've looked at this I've had different ideas about whom I'd vote for. Guess it's gonna be Tom Hart Benton and, and, and, Demuth, in memory of my Kansas days.
ReplyDeleteAnd [Anonymous], your vote doesn't count if you don't give yourself some kind of nom de vote. Which is a shame in a match with such razor-thin margins!
ReplyDeleteJansen and Saenredam because they make my heart soar a bit more than the others.
ReplyDeleteHere are some emailed votes for Benton & di Paolo.
ReplyDeleteAnd the drschnell ticket takes it, with the top two seeds managing to scrape together five votes apiece despite the scattershot voting pattern in a strong field of crowd favorites.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough break for Pieter Saendredam, who also scraped together five votes but whose run ends here; based on his earlier performance, he needed an outright first or second place to advance.
Giovanni di Paolo, as it turns out, will have one more desperate shot at fame. But we'll get to that next week.
And so (mostly) ends the play-in tournament!
