    Here's the Round 2 schedule. Flags will be seeded according to their percentages earned in Round 1. With 15 groups, this means that the top fifteen flags will be seeded first in each poll. Then the next fifteen will all be seeded second, and so on. This will mean an even and fair distribution of flags in each poll.

    The last poll ended in a tie, and once this last tiebreaker closes (on Friday), we'll begin the third round. This is where it gets tough. There will be 12 groups of 5 flags with the top two moving on to the playoffs.

    The schedule is as follows:

    October 13

    So barring (hopefully) any tiebreakers, here's what the final stage of this tournament (the playoffs) will look like. It will be in four weekly stages, hence the need for the semi-real "octofinals" phase.
    • The Octofinals will begin on November 3: eight groups of three flags posted, all at the same time, with the top one moving on.
    • The Quarterfinals will begin on November 10: four groups of two, with the top one moving on.
    • The Semifinals will begin on November 17: two groups of two, top one moving on.
    • The Finals, with the last two flags left standing, will begin on November 24, the week of Thanksgiving Day, to thank all who participated!

    Okay, so only four remain: United Kingdom, Bhutan, Guatemala, and Ecuador (a Western European county, an South Asian country, and two almost neighboring South American countries). The semifinal polls have gone up. Coming down to the wire now!

    It's been a fun diversion but it's all down to this, the last poll. United Kingdom and Bhutan.

    Thanks for putting together a fun tournament. It was extremely interesting to see all of the different designs and reading a little bit about each one.
