Sweet 16 Results + Elite 8 Matchups

Week 1 Scores:

#1. @Theqmjmmasta vs #16. @Renate-Irene: 0-3 (Pretty easy decision here.... XD)

#8. @Ninjaswat vs #9. @SheldonOfOsaka: 0-3 (Again, pretty easy decision here...)

#4. @alphaous vs #13 @Marziotta: 3-0 (The final score here does not reflect how close this matchup was, it really could have gone either way!)

#5. @Scatteredwealth vs #12. @DreamLearnBe: 2-1 (Second closest matchup this week, very nicely done by both of you)

#2. @Fire vs #15. @Lethal_Knights: 2-1 (Yes, yes this was the closest matchup of the week, which surprised all of the judges I think. Shockingly tough decision. Good job, guys.)

#7. @Fayez58 vs #10. @SPickwick: 0-3 (Don't be fooled - this was a close match. In the end, however, all of the judges were in agreement over who should advance...)

#3. @DonRajesh vs #14. @the_turtlepro: 3-0 (This was similar to the Fayez-SPick match where both blogs were good but the judges were simply in agreement all across the board...)

#6. @Nimzo-IndianaJones vs. #11 @YEAT: 0-3 (UPSET ALERT?! This was probably the most surprising result. Both blogs were good, but the judges believed YEAT's blog had a slight edge here...)

If you advanced to the Elite 8, you have 2 WEEKS from today to post your round 2 blog submission. November 14th at 7 PM EST is the deadline. You got two weeks to post. Go to the elite 8 submission forum, please. The sooner you post, the better, but you have 2 weeks and are welcome to procrastinate until the end. Good luck!

To those of you who have been eliminated, I thank you for competing this season, but regrettably your time in Season 1 has come to an end. I, along with the other judges, enjoyed reading your blogs, and hope to see you return for Season 2, which will start in early January. If you would like feedback on your match, just pm one of the judges.

That's all for now. Happy blogging!
