BTW, it seems like our voting is maxed out about 15 votes per thread. Not sure how many daily active posters we have, and to that end how many care to vote, but I'll give the Atari Region another day or two to see who straggles in Monday and we'll move on to the next round.
OK so if, in the interest of preserving board space, we were to limit it to only 4 matchups per voting round, and allow 2 business days per voting round, it would stretch into the second week of September, looking something like this:
8/3-8/4: Region 2 first 4 matchups
8/5-8/6: Region 2 second 4 matchups
8/7-8/10: Region 3 first 4 matchups
8/11-8/12: Region 3 second 4 mathups
8/13-8/14: Region 4 first 4 matchups
8/17-8/18: Region 4 second 4 matchups
8/19-8/20: Region 1 Quarterfinals 4 matchups
8/21-8/24: Region 2 Quarterfinals 4 matchups
8/25-8/26: Region 3 Quarterfinals 4 mathups
8/27-8/28: Region 4 Quarterfinals 4 matchups
8/31-9/1: Region 1 and 2 Semifinals 4 matchups
9/2-9/3: Region 3 and 4 Semifinals 4 matchups
9/4-9/7: All regional finals 4 matchups
9/8-9/9: Final 4 Semifinals 2 matchups
9/10-9/11: Final matchup
Alternatively if we allow 8 active voting threads at a time it would wrap up a couple days before the first college football weekend and look like this:
8/3-8/4: Region 2 all matchups (8)
8/5-8/6: Region 3 all matchups (8)
8/7-8/10: Region 4 all matchups (8)
8/11-8/12: Region 1 and 2 Quarterfinals (8)
8/13-8/14: Region 3 and 4 Quarterfinals (8)
8/17-8/18: Region 1,2,3,4 Semifinals (8)
8/19-8/20: All region finals (4)
8/21-8/24: Final 4 Semifinals (2)
8/25-8/26: Final matchup (1)
So... this is going to take a while regardless. Just depends on how grumpy all the old folks are about having 8 simulataneous active voting threads between now and 8/18.
