GM16 - QF: Unreadable/Hear Me Roar Victors

Interesting split.

The Victors for the second round of the Quarter-Final and the last two Elite Four are...

Captain Jack Sparrow

"You will always remember this as the day you almost caught...Captain Jack Sparrow!"

and...

Maleficent

"You poor simple fools! Thinking you could defeat me...ME! The mistress of all evil!"

Disney wins the day. Captain Jack nailed Match 1 by a landslide 8 votes out of 10 (80%). Maleficent came back from a disappointing start, winning by one last-minute vote to gain 5 votes out of 9 (55%).

So now, ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Elite Four of Geekdom Madness 2016: The Tournement of Losers

YODA

THE RIDDLER

CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW

MALEFICENT

Tomorrow, this Final Four will be whittled down to the Final Two, and after that, There Can Be Only One!

Close, but no cigar.


The Victors for the first round of the Quarter Finals and the first of our Elite Four are...

Yoda

"Much to learn, you still have."

and...

The Riddler

"Riddle me this: I have billions of eyes, yet I live in darkness. I have millions of ears, yet only four lobes. I have no muscle, yet I rule two hemispheres. What am I?"

In another week when the vote count differs between matches, Yoda won Match 1 with 5 votes out of 8 (62%), while the Riddler won Match 2 with 4 votes out of 7 (57%)

Geekdom Madness 2016 - Quarter Final: Emerald Elves/R&R

Welcome to the Geekdom Madness 2016 Quarter-Finals! Our past losers have been ruthlessly proving themselves winners in their own right, and now we see who gets to be in the Elite Four!

GM16 - TRG: Poachers/Thrillseekers Victors

So close yet so far....


The Victors for the fourth and final round of The Real Game are...

Captain Jack Sparrow

"You will always remember this as the day you almost caught...Captain Jack Sparrow!"

and...

Rose Tyler

"So history’s happening and we’re stuck here."

Match 1 was no contest. Captain Jack had all the votes until literally the last second, but he still got 8 votes out of 11 total (72%). Match 2 was a lot more even, with Rose squeaking by with a single vote, ending with 5 out of 9 (55%).

Here's the breakdown. The Quarter-Final starts tomorrow!

Bloody pirates.

These two had an early lead before their opponents overtook them. However, last-minute, Mewtwo gathered a total of 5 votes out of 8 (62%) and Maleficent gathered 4 votes out of 7 (57%)

Here's the breakdown. Check back tomorrow!
