      <body>Suggestion:   i want to view all of the vomit t off entries alone without other vomit shirts or whatever coming up in the search. could you just make a specific tag for people to put in their tags that wouldn't come up any other way. like... "TOFFVOMIT1" or something else specific. you get what i mean.</body>

      <body>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;landshark said:&lt;/cite&gt; the bracket will be determined by a random drawing?  or are you going to build it out of loves, as in you take the top 32 designs, and person with most loves least in that group then faces the person with the least, and then second most with second least, etc. ect.?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

it was random last time. i'd assume it's going to be the same way.</body>

      <body>Wouldn't it make more sense to have everyone submit within a certain time frame, like Friday between 2-4pm EST?  Seems like the people who submit early have an unfair advantage.  I don't know, just throwing it out there.</body>

its not really an advantage, in all likelihood the designs posted today are going to sink to deeper pages and get less traffic. They may have gotten enough votes before that happens to secure the round, but who knows what more time will provide the other competitors. 

Then of course when its one on one there's a strategy to not let your opponent see what you came up with too early. I think the extra variables make it more interesting. </body>
