Round three is complete, and La Villa’s cinderella season is over, having been narrowly beaten by Tom Sawyer 4-3. The lowest seed still in the competition is #11 Freewill, which upset #2 The Spirit of Radio last round 5-2. There was one tie last round, Dreamline and Show Don’t Tell, which required a compact disc flip (no coin available…again). Dreamline won, which means that all four #1 seeds advance into this round. I’ll let this round go until Saturday evening at 10 PM. Thanks to everyone who has been playing so far. **Bracket 1 - Panacea** 1. 2112 vs. 2. Bastille Day **Bracket 2 - Hyperspace** 1. Tom Sawyer vs. 2. Freewill **Bracket 3 - 1-0-0-1-0-0-1** 1. Subdivisions vs. 2. Distant Early Warning **Bracket 4 - Ebb and Flow** 1. Dreamline vs. 2. Roll the Bones ---

This has slipped to the second page, so I doubt I will get any more votes, but I’ve got two ties right now and I don’t want to flip a coin for the final four. I need at least one more vote before I can close this round. Even if someone just votes on brackets 1 and 4 I will be happy. 😃 ---
