    2007 Bloggers Tournament, Round 3

    March 27th, 2007 - 15 Comments »

    Round 2 of the 2007 Bloggers Tournament had some close calls and a couple of landslide victories. At the close of voting, #3 The Thinking Blog had 1 vote while #2 Kineda had 2 votes. A tying vote for Ilker’s blog just after 12:01am CST. Good thing; I don’t have any tie-breaker rules yet. The competition gets closer as we swing into Round 3. Don’t forget — Voting for Round 3 ends Thursday, March 29th at 11:59pm CST.

    VOTING FOR ROUND 3 HAS ENDED.

    Campaigning Is Your Friend
    Saman over at Samanathon.com was successful in using the banner method, which was developed by his Round 1 foe, Gary Lee. Samanathon.com defeated #8 seed, The Man of Silver, 33-9.

    In the Technology & Gadgets bracket, #2 Gizmodo.com flexed it’s muscles early to thwart a late campaign run by #6 Gadgetell.com. I’ll refrain from including the score…ok, it was 1,066-74. In defense of Gadgetell.com, 74 votes was more than the combined total of other game in Round 2.

    Same rules apply for campaigning. You must link to THIS post to earn the 10 points for Round 3. Good luck to the remaining participants, and thank you to everyone that has participated in the 2007 Bloggers Tournament.

    Round 4
    GAME 29: The Gamut winner vs. Technology & Gadgets winner
    GAME 30: Blogging & SEO winner vs. Money & Finance winner

    Ah.. nevermind!

    “The Gamut winner vs. Technology & Gadgets winner”

    Gizmodo is heavily campaigning so there is no point anyway.

    [...] I was entered into the 2007 Bloggers tournament as a complete underdog, with 32 total blogs including names such as techcrunch.com, my odds of success were slim… BUT, through the thick fog I have found support and pushed my way through 2 tough rounds of voting, and now I am in the elite 8, the quarter finals babie!!
