The next part of round 1 is now under way. This time, there are 8 match ups as I try to complete the first round before my flight to Istanbul on Friday. So far the results have been predictable (though I am surprised that Istanbul did not upset Beijing) as the top seeds all have advanced so far.

Here are the next set of ROUND 1 matches which will be open for voting for until 8:00a Thursday Eastern Time.
