P.U.M.M.E.L. Tournament - round 3

[dfbovey]

It's the FINAL FOUR!!!

Who will make it to the championship round?

The polls for round 2 will close tomorrow at Noon. Once the polls are closed, look at the bracket to see who your next opponent is. If you are the higher rank, send your opponent the topic for your match and get started!

Your entries will be due Monday, June 8th, by 11:59pm eastern time (US). Failure to meet this deadline means forfeit.

If you made it this far, Congrats! And gooduck!

Once you've sent or received your topic for round 3, please report it here.

Also remember when posting your polls... make them set to run for 4 days, and make sure you click the option to make the voting public!

Also, just an FYI... I've made a new rules and regulations (http://www.penciljack.com/forum/showthread.php?t=93931) thread that explains PUMMEL all in one place. Hopefully in a streamlined and easy to understand way.

[dfbovey]

If the polls were to end right now, the final 4 match ups would be:

Heavyweights
Keith vs. Fusciart
Dfbovey vs. G0b1in

Middleweights
Jared Lee vs. Asaru
Archerion vs. Taro Mochi

Lightweights
Spidey976 vs. Anubis2kx
ThrashArt vs. makoi

Still 2 epic battles going on in the Heavyweight division. Keith vs. HadesIllustrations and Underwearhero vs. G0b1in could still go either way, although Keith and G0b1in have widened their leads.

[Archerion]

wow thats a quick deadline i hope i get my topic from Taro quick!

[dfbovey]

It's the same as every other round. 10 day deadline.

[Archerion]

It's the same as every other round. 10 day deadline.

I know but always seems quick :-P

[dfbovey]

The good news, is that those 10 days include two sets of weekends.

It'll slow down once the tournament is over though. Then you'll have roughly 22 days for each match.

Got my topic from Taro Mochi

That's more my style. That way I can be otherwise busy, forget, procrastinate and generally completely mismanage my time for 21 days and 20 hours instead of the usual 7 to 10.

:lml-: :pj: :-lml:

Congratulations to everyone still hanging in there. Especially Asaru who maliciously assassinated me. j/k

[makoi]

Sent my topic to Thrashart.

[dfbovey]

Sent my topic to G0b1in.

[dfbovey]

Alright guys, round 2 is officially over.

Since Keith and HadesIllustrations ended in a tie, they will both advance to face Fusciart in round 3. Hats off to the both of them for an epic battle! Counts as a win for both of them. Keith picks the topic as high rank.

[spidey976]

Topic sent to Anubis

[dfbovey]

Everyone be sure to update your spreadsheets!

[spidey976]

Everyone be sure to update your spreadsheets!

I actually can't see ANYONES stats right now???

[g0b1in]

I've received my topic from dfbovey.

[dfbovey]

I actually can't see ANYONES stats right now???

Sometimes it takes a minute for them to load.

[Spidey]

Congrats guys. Can't wait to see what you churn out.

[hadesillustrations]

WOW! That was AWESOME! And I get another crack at beating Keith! Double awesome! Fuscia, I'm sorry you're getting caught in the middle of this, but the competition has brought my game to a new level - I hope it does the same for you.

[dfbovey]

Just in case anyone is having issues viewing the spreadsheets:

Heavyweights
Keith vs. Fusciart vs. HadesIllustrations
Dfbovey vs. G0b1in

Middleweights
Jared Lee vs. Asaru
Archerion vs. Taro Mochi

Lightweights
Spidey976 vs. Anubis2kx
ThrashArt vs. makoi

[dfbovey]

Also, this is all I've done to determine the rankings so far for after the tournament for the Heavyweights.

Top 5 spots will go to Keith, Dfbovey, G0b1in, HadesIllustrations and Fusciart. The order yet to be determined.

The rest of the rankings right now according to the way the tournament has shaped up AND current stats:

6- Underwearhero
7- Bathill8
8- AdultBraces
9 - Dr. Baltar
10- Plog
11- Teratophile
12- ScottEwen
13- Physicdesigns
14- G12affics
15- Dri
16- Manji New
17- Jugigatame New
18- Kris Diaz New
19- Krikkit1313 New

So you can see, July will make for some really great match ups once the ranked matches begin.

[Physicdesigns]

just to be sure, these ranks are still somewhat liquid depending on what our records are at the end of the tournament correct?
Im figuring anyone who went out in round one, could end up in any position from 9-15 depending on thier record, and the 6-8 ers can move around as well?

Yup. This is based on how things are right now. I'll probably aim to finalize the rankings on the 28th. That way I have time to calculate and then announce on July 1st.

[underwearhero]

So the number of streetfights we win determines our place in the ranking? If so I'm gonna participate in 1 or more.

It's where you exited the tournament, your total win/loss record (not just streetfights) and then wins by knockout. Those things in order, are what will effect your ranking.

So your stats will be compared with AdultBraces and Bathill since you all lost in the same round. Then it'll go by record, then knockouts as tie breakers to determine your rank. If you're all tied after that, where you were originally ranked will be the last tie breaker.

[hadesillustrations]

Recieved my topic from Keith. Already sketching ideas. This is gonna be a fun month!

[dfbovey]

Got a good chunk of work done on mine last night and today.

Pretty excited to see what everyone comes up with this round!

[Steve F]

Crazy! A 3 way match? That's gonna be sick!

[dfbovey]

With a few tweaks tonight I'll be done with mine. Pretty happy with it.

Hope you guys had a productive weekend!

You just like to rub it in don't ya ... lol ... ;)

[dfbovey]

I wouldn't call it rubbing it in, as much as it's a kick in the pants :)

[dfbovey]

Including today, there are 6 days remaining.

[spidey976]

I wouldn't call it rubbing it in, as much as it's a kick in the pants :)

LOL ... yeah ... I have the PRIMARY rough already done ... but I have side characters that I WANT to include ... just not sure I will have time ... but yes ... my pants are thoroughly kicked ... lol

[dfbovey]

:)

I've made all the tweaks to mine that I'm gonna. I figure if G0b1in beats me this round, he will have definitely earned it.

lol ... I have been working a heavy work deadline ... but yeah ... I intend to bring a solid peace. I am a little worried about the background ... but when in doubt ... digital here I come .... :omg:

[dfbovey]

T-minus 5 days!

[Keith]

This is a hard thing for me to do, since I put effort in this entire thing already and had a killer idea for this week, but I'm probably going to have to stop for the time being. Something else that's really big just came up for me that I can't mention yet (the secrecy kills me,) the only bad part is it conflicts with this tourny date. Figure this is my shot and I have to take it, you know?

I'll be back though, anyone who wants a rematch, I'll be happy to oblige after I'm done. Good luck everyone and sorry if I disappointed any of you, this was just as unexpected for me as well.

[Popninja]

Remember that old Incredible Hulk episode where Banner meets "The First" Hulk and he finds a cure for his Hulkness but the old, skinny Hulk takes the cure and throws it and breaks it? Remember how Banner was crying and yelling "NO!" That's how I'm reacting right now to Keith dropping out of PUMMEL.

[Beastie]

Good luck with your secret project, Keith.

Put everything into it, mate :)

Dude ... if this is YOUR SHOT ... then you HAVE to take it. Why don't you just post what you have done in the final POLL. I know it is against your better nature ... but we would all love to see it. If you have to pull out completely at this point ... just say you don't want to be in the poll

[dfbovey]

Goodluck with your project Keith! I knew it was a matter of time before you were snatched up.

If I make my way to champion, I feel like I'll need to put an asterisk by it until I'm able to face you one on one. :)

[dfbovey]

So we've lost the intrigue of the 3 way match and the number one ranked seed in the tournament... But there are still two pretty great one on one match ups to decide who goes on to the championship round!

4 Days remain including today.

[dfbovey]

56 hours remain.

[dfbovey]

A little less than 40 hours remain.

[hadesillustrations]

Wow - I just read that Keith dropped out. I'm ecstatic that he's got a shot at sme serious success, but horribly dissappointed at the same time. No offense to Fusciaart, but Keith was the man to beat - I was really looking forward to this rematch.

[dfbovey]

Keith was definitely the front runner for sure. In one way it sucks but the good thing is that there's still a match to be had. I think the matchup between you and Fusci could be very epic!

[dfbovey]

Just about 24 hours remain!

Just got notification that Makoi will have to back out of this round. So Thrashart moves into the lightweight finals.

[spidey976]

Wow ... are people scared of Thrash ... that is the second forefeit.

P.S. I have Anubis's piece ... so when I am done it will all be up ... :D

[dfbovey]

Yeah, I feel bad for him.

I've sent my piece off to G0b1in. As soon as I have his, I'll post up the poll.

[g0b1in]

My entry has been sent.

[Archerion]

My entry has been sent to the Cute Master Taro Mochi.

[Jared Lee]

Last week has give me little to no time to draw.
Since I have no idea if I will have time to finish these.
Here are my pictures for my draw off with Asura.

Topic was to pick a live action movie and convert 5 characters to a style for animation.


I was going to pick Predator but I choose Die Hard instead.

[dfbovey]

12 hour warning!

Remember, all entries are due tonight by 11:59pm. That's East coast time!

[makoi]

Wow ... are people scared of Thrash ... that is the second forefeit.

P.S. I have Anubis's piece ... so when I am done it will all be up ... :D

I had some personal stuff that needed my full attention. I'll challenge Thrashart when I can free up some time.

yeah ... sorry to hear that dude ... I shouldn't have made light of your personal commitments ... my piece could definetly use 2 more dayds before the deadline ... but oh well.

[spidey976]

You know just in case my internet goes wakky (and that would be the only reason I wouldn't post my piece up finished or not) here is Anubis2kx piece.

*crosses fingers*

[dfbovey]

15 minutes


Scanner is pitchin a fit ... damn it

Camera?

[spidey976]

Well here is my piece ... my scanner is pitching a fit ... any chance of 15 minutes to see if I can fit the scan ... since the piece is here???

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h200/spidey976/blackestNightCrappyScan1.jpg

[spidey976]

15 minutes



Camera?

Yeah was thinking about it... it is a double page spread which part of the problem

[dfbovey]

Yeah, that's fine. Post it up once you get the technical difficulties resolved.

[dfbovey]

Jared Lee...

any contact with Asaru?

If not, it looks like you'll have a free pass to the finals.

[Jared Lee]

Last I heard from him was when I sent him a note on the topic.

I was expecting a response on if it was alright or not since he let me pick, but I never heard anything from him.:confused:

[dfbovey]

Alright, you advance to the championship round.

[ThrashArt]

well I don't know if i have to show my entry... I am really unhappy with it, i had artist block. I guess I got lucky my opponent dropped out. I can redeem my self next round... here it is. Our topic was Iron man vs Batman beyond
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e344/jonnythrash/My%20artwork/batironman.jpg

[Jared Lee]

Cant we have another hour grace period? :(

[dfbovey]

I suppose, I'm not staying up for it though. These stragglers every week take a lot out of me. And it gets a little annoying. I probably made a mistake by being soft on the deadline in earlier rounds.

[spidey976]

Poll is up ... thanks Dave for the extension due to tech probs

[dfbovey]

About the half way point in voting, if things hold up to the way they are now, these would be the finals match ups:

Heavyweights
#2 Dfbovey
#9 HadesIllustrations

Middleweights
#6 Archerion
#8 Jared Lee

Lightweights
#8 Spidey976
#11 ThrashArt

Still a ways to go.
