Over to Yoshi!

And it's over to Yoshi for the kick-off.

And over to Yoshi - Yoshi: The group stage is over. This is where the Gamesbids Logo World Cup gets serious - it's a knockout! The groups knocked out 4, & we now have our final 8 entries that will battle it out to be champion - and it's now one-on-one from here to the end. The picture in Rols' post above shows our 8 entries in 4 pairs - the QF matches. Each of the 2 polls at the top refers to one of these matches. The groups being voted on in this thread are as follows: QF1: USA 1 v China 2. QF2: Spain v New Zealand 1. There's another thread for voting in the other matches, QFs 3 & 4. Here are the rules for voting in this stage: 1) It's one vote per person, per match. You can vote in as many or as few matches as you wish. 2) You have 24 hours to vote - voting in this stage is open until 11pm UK time on FRIDAY 8 JULY. 3) The winning logo in each match at the close will progress to the next round - the Semi-Finals. 4) If a match ends in a draw, I will take the penalty shoot-out (casting vote). I will not vote in the regular voting time, & if I do need to use a casting vote, I will base it first on suitability for an actual World Cup & then on my own subjective opinion. 5) You can vote for your own logo if you want to. Our vote scrutiniser - Mr S. Blither - is here to ensure it all goes well. If you have any questions, slide him a brown envelope under the table & he'll see what he can do. At the end of this round, the Semi-Finals will be arranged according to Rols' picture. The competition will continue as a simple knockout - culminating on Sunday 10 July, just after the new European champions are crowned. All that's left to say now is thanks to Rols for being his usual good egg & enabling this to happen, good luck to all our contenders, & may the best logo win. Happy voting!
