In other news, I misspelled JerrodStorm as JarrodStorm. NG BBS doesn't allow post editing, so this is the correction. It's JerrodStorm.

And francisyfl :3 its not francisyf, but its ok xD

DANG IT! Well, I guess I'll just have to dress like the 11th Doctor and use my time portal to travel back and save myself the embarrassment of the whole ord-waaaait a minute!

this seems awfully familiar...

There were still 12 people below you who didn't get into the brackets at all, so no yours was not the worst by any means :)

Because of the high volume of entries in the open round, no. Judges are encouraged to write comments for the next few rounds, and really pushed to do so for the final couple rounds.

People assume that Animation is a strict progression of shape to tween, but actually from a nonlinear non-subjective
viewpoint it's more like a big ball of... arts-y wartsy, move-y wove-y... stuff.

The Novice Round is supposed to begin in 6 hours, but I'm thinking of starting it early, in about an hour or two. What do you all think?

Considering it's past 0:00 right now... If you could start it within an hour i could start thinking of ideas during sleep.
Why not

Sounds good to me. The only downside being that I might have trouble sleeping from all the excitement :)

Your name will be correct in every iteration except that post announcing the winners. NG Forums don't allow editing.

As previously stated, each judge picked only their top 16 (or 18) favorites to decide qualifiers. The only two entrants that were listed but didn't make the top 32 were Krus Justice and TribeCollective. It's impossible to say "how close" any other entrants were to making it, since the cutoff was 16-18 entries for judges to select.

Judging for the following rounds will be strictly score based, and it will be much easier to deduce who stands where.

I thought I would have time to post the round early, but it's not looking that way at this point. Expect it around midnight Eastern Time!

Just looked at the line up... not gonna lie, I was really hoping to see Fungasm go against Digsbot... it'd be like... the end of the world or something. Congrats to all those who made it! Its weird NOT seeing my name on the match up list this year lol.

Yipee!

Up against Jagondudo? This probably won't end well for me :P

I see why the match-ups are set up like that though.
