Ok it is definate Basssman7. I am in Hope and I am in Remember Those.

ETA: Ooo yeh. I also commented on all of the 1000 challenge entries. My punishment is complete. :=)

Hey Limerick, unless your one of those "Hidden During Voting" people you missed me :)

MAX!

Huh? I only put myself as hidden after I voted and commented. Would that count as being hidden if I wasnt at the time? I read some posts on how it can benefit you to being hidden so I changed it in my preferences. I think I could be hidden then because it says I commented on them all.

You have rated 1113 of 1115 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have commented on 1115 images (100%) in this challenge.
You have given an average score of 6.0602.

Quick scores update. Not finished updating my spreadsheet properly but as you've worked out,

dainmcgowan beat

hajeka and clinched the match. Dain immediately begins in round 3 against

toddhead. The first challenges that will count are the Remeber Those/Illuminative Object challenges.

well now i am scared.

toddhead has 9 six plus scores in his last 10 entries (and the 10th was 5.99)!

i won't be in the Remeber Those/Illuminative Object challenges, but hoping to enter the 1 second. I really should enter this one, as it was my suggestion!!

thanks again to

hajeka for the close round we had!!

I have an entry in Hidden Gem, but it is only 5.1.

Brat said she didn't have any in Hidden Gem (she's been on the road.) Therefore, it's impossible for me to win, so

Brat get ready to move on.

It's been fun!

I've been getting lucky, but I've hit somewhat of a creative wall, so I'm sure our match will be a good one.

I'm not in either one tonight, so it looks like we'll be starting next week.

Good luck! Kind of...

Agnes, it does not look like I will have anything in for tonight's open challenges. :(

I tried a couple different things for both of them and they both sucked! lol

Why not the one second challenge? (just curious)

That is why I knew our match up would be different, because you and I like totally opposite types of challenges. I hate, totally hate, the open challenges and love the FS, and you are the opposite. lol

Well perhaps some great miracle will transpire and one of the open challenges at rollover in a few minutes will be interesting. I would not want to have to bet on it though! ;)

Im just totally uninspired by the 1-sec. I tried a few things at home yesterday and wasnt thrilled. I do like the opens. I do like having subjects to shoot. Who knows maybe this round will end up being decided by averages for the month. :=)

Looks right now like I will definately be in one of the opens

basssman7. I am shooting for the Language. Its my first choice and I am trying to set that up for this weekend. If not I will definately be in Abstract Motion. I will not be in the March Free Study. I will not be in the 1-sec.

Right scores from remaining round 2 matches:

Judi beat Hot_Pixel, score 2-0, takes the match.
Brat versus rjkstesch, I'm calling the match for brat as her average is highest
Ecce Signum beat JaimeVinas, that takes that to 1-1 but I'm calling that for Jaime as his overall average is highest.
imagesbytlp beat JimiRose, score 1-0, this match is still in progress and will finish with the Hope challenge.
karmat beat tpbremer, that takes that to 1-1 but I'm calling that for tpbremer as his overall average is highest.

This means the match between JimiRose and imagesbytlp is the last remaining round 2 match. If it happens that neither of them are in Hope, then I can call that match now and work out who the highest losers are. Therefore if either Jimi or Terri are reading this can you let me know if you're in Hope please? I'll PM them later.

One round 3 match began today, between LydiaToo and tpbremer. 1 second exposure if the first that will count for this. And in round 3 also Alain took a 1-0 lead against JulietNN.

standings here.

Well, that would make it interesting. Then you would have the rest of this challenge month to get your overall avg since the tourney began above mine. I really hope it does not come down to that, it is not really in the spirit of the "head to head". I guess what I find frustrating is that I am also in the DPCO which is kind of forcing me into the open challenges that I do not like (unless I really have nothing like last week) and usually do poorly in, yet you can pass on all the challenges that you do not care for. (my own fault I know, for getting in these two things at once)

Oh well, I will do my best to get something into one of the opens this week. I will let you know. Good luck! :)

I am in the DPCO to and why I didnt mind getting into the DPCO on top of the H2H is because it was the opens which I like better then the member challenges. I dont mind doing all of them. It is really hard for me not to enter but I have to be inspired. I wont enter just because I have to and for the DPCO it works because I normally enter the opens anyway. It works for me in the H2H because I do not have to enter the member challenges. So its a win win for me really. I do agree with you tho. I dont want a win or lose against you to be on averages alone but that is how it seems to be going which is by averages if we keep up this way.

I thought for sure you would be in the 100 year so I spent the whole day hoping to beat you. hahah. Then I find out you werent in it. I came in 7th. I thought for sure you would be in Hope and I did the same thing. I have a so so score of a 5.9 bordering a 6.0. Then I thought for sure you would be in one of last weeks opens and again I did my best. Im hopping between a 6.5 and 6.8 for that one now and you arent in! haahha. Now I am going to go again and do my best for one of these opens but to me the 1 second is not my choice this time.

I have to try my best anyway just in the very slim chance I do move into the next round because then averages could count there to. So I dont like not entering but I do want my average to stay up there at this point so I am only going to enter what I really believe will do good and so far I think I have made good choices in that way.

You photo in "100 years" was great! I looked around but could not find a 100 year old wolf. lol After the voting started I realized I have a friend who is heavily into antiques and I am sure I could have borrowed something from him that would have done well. A little bit too late though!

OK, as

JimiRose and

imagesbytlp have both let me know they're not in the Hope Challenge, I'm going to call their match now.

imagesbytlp goes through with the highest overalll average of the pair.

JimiRose also goes through to round 3, however, as a highest loser, as did

andrewt,

mpeters and

jasonlprice. Commiserations to

sempermarine, who missed out by 0.0012 :-(

Our round 3 draw is now complete as follows:

lydiatoo versus

tpbremer
*

JaimeVinas versus

JimiRose

basssman7 versus
