[Guest]

One thing to people...

Could you PLEASE make sure you have voted in all matches.

Just count down. Should be 64 answers.

or make sure you have coloured/bolded everyone.

Razzy, lexie and I have been collating them tonight and we have had to send out numerous PMs for missed votes.

If these are not replied to, I am sorry your votes overall will not count.

One person

SOUTHERNTIERGUY​

Is uncontactable, as he has not enabled his PMs. So if anyone knows how to get in touch with him, could they tell him he's voted for BOTH artists in the first match?

Thanks

 

[Guest]

This poll will close tomorrow.

Any new votes (some form people who actuallya sked for this would be nice...) will count.

Any who have not added the missing matches... I am afraid theirs will not.

Ta

 

[nctoddmc]
