Updated - Round 1A is closed and that means the prediction contest is well on its way. Current leaders with 7 out of 7 correct predictions are Cloisscherzy, t4sos, and Cyn Kin. Nice start, everyone. I am presently tied for 4th in the predictions but my wish list is second from the bottom. That’s fairly typical. Congratulations to Prodigal Son, The Witcher, Chicago P.D., Dynasty, Chicago Fire, The Walking Dead, and MacGyver for making it to the next round.
Welcome back to round 1B. Today we will have a little overlap as the round 1A polls will remain open for about 2 more hours. After the polls close, I will update this post with the results. Most of the round 1A polls are within 150 votes, with one tied at the time of this writing, so talk up your favorites because there’s still time for anyone to win it. Round 1 is the easiest time to pull off a major upset. If you are new to the Championship, please read the rules below and don’t forget to leave a comment on your favorites. Brackets can be found below the polls and will automatically update once the results are entered into Challonge. Happy voting!
1) Two shows will go into battle in a poll for about 24 hours. The leading show will win the battle and progress to the next round. End times for all rounds are in Central Standard Time (CST) and will be posted above the polls.

3) Vote for your favorite and spread the word with friends and fans.
