We had a First Round tie today, which as always had shuffled up the ol' brackets a bit. It was the Leighton/Modersohn-Becker bout, which now has the distinction of being the only First Round tiebreaker (so far) to itself end up in a tie; those two are having a really, really tough time getting into the swing of the Tournament.

ReplyDeleteI'm really liking both! Poussin.
ReplyDeletePoussin, but they're both strong.
ReplyDeleteI guess the 1240's are really boring, huh?

ReplyDeleteAnd Poussin carries the day, taking it back with those final two votes. The damage is six votes for Poussin, five for Popova. If you think it should have gone the other way, you should have been here sooner!
