Your Skalbamania IV Champion...

... Is Link!

Link edges out Kermit by 1 vote to claim the championship. It's hard to believe that Kermit was so close to pulling off the most unlikely tournament run, but it almost happened.  That was the fun of this years tournament of how certain factors effected the outcome, who knows what would happen is say 5 more people voted.  Link proves to be the king of the voting tournament and can add this to his GameFAQs titles.  He retires with Mr. Perfect, Costanza, and Chris Farley as champions.  It was fun though. I'd love to have feedback on it, are you happy with the results or who was the person you picked as the character to win it all?  I noticed a lot of views from international locations and I'd love to hear from you.  Thank you everyone for your participation and your enthusiasm.  I will try to make it better next time.  It was a fun time.

The Bracket

This is it! We are finally at the end. Link vs. Kermit the Frog.  After weeks of eliminating the field of 64 to the final 2 we are left with an unexpected final.  Link was the silent assassin in his road, although I'm not surprised he made it this far. Kermit has been a true underdog, taking out some big time players.  Svengoolie played a role on his good fortunes, but that's some of the fun, the unpredictable factors.  Now is time to see who will be added to the list of champions.

Match 63 is Set!

Well people after about a month, we are finally here.  Kermit the Frog and Link will go at it for the right to be called Skalbamania IV Champion!  But sit tight, I'm gonna let the weekend pass as usual and then on Monday we will start the beginning of the end.  Let me get some feedback though, should I do a 24 or 48 hours for the Finals? Any other comments?
