Emile Can you consider extending the voting for a couple more hours into the evening or starting the voting later in the day to extend into the evening? I am working some long hours at work and don't even have a chance to take break because of urgent needs at work due to the Coronavirus. I want to participate but might not be able to during the week due to work.
Thank you for consideration
Ken

You can pre-vote by sending me a PM and I'll add your vote to the total. The First Round scheduled dates are listed in the bracket.

well I am one down but still in the running! I’m sort of consoled by the fact that today was a wipeout for most of us bracketeers.
