With us nearing the second round, it's time to get some more predictions in the bracket, or else we wouldn't be able to finish this thing.

To make things a little interesting, let's start predicting past what the bracket tells us, all the way to the finals. This makes you guess who's gonna come out of each round, and could potentially make you not get any points for the higher-ranked matches if you really messed up your guesses. Since I'm half-asleep right now and what I just typed probably makes little sense to anyone including myself, here's a sample bracket from here on out. You guys can still keep it simple. I understand that the last bracket hasn't been filled out, and because of this I'm still asking you guys to continue with your original predictions to decide future matches. If you don't remember, here's the original prediction thread and the actual bracket for reference. Oh yeah, forgot about the sample bracket:

Mario
Cloud
Solid Snake
Samus
Link
Pikachu
Lara (i.e. my bracket assumes she won against...let's say Crash, who was also in my prediction, but you don't have to mention this)
Pac-Man (same thing as above)

Then, include a small little space to separate rounds for future predictions, which you'll base off of your previous guesses..basically, who wins their respective bracket. So after this I'd include a space and then put:

Mario
Solid Snake
Link
Lara
(this is the final four)

Mario
Link
(final match)

Mario
(winner)

Note that the Mario-Snake brackets will face off first, and so will the Link-Lara brackets.

I really hope that made sense, but usually when I'm this groggy and tired I don't, so feel free to ask any questions and I'll try to clarify. I'd like to get all new predictions (basically for the rest of the tournament) in by the time all the first-round matches of the last bracket are completed. If you have a simpler, quicker way of showing who you think'll win, then by all means do that instead. I don't care how you do it as long as the main idea comes across.

I've also decided to let in new entries once the second round starts. It's always good to have more people participating. However, they'll need to also finish their predictions for the last bracket of the first round, but won't get any points for doing so. They'll start getting points starting with the beginning of the second round. Also, old entries that aren't updated will have to be scrapped from the contest. I say that 'cause this brings XD to mind, who's kind of disappeared recently but is still in the contest.
