For this contest, we asked potential bloggers to show us a bit of their world -- to use text, video, or whatever to tell us a story and demonstrate the humor, humanity, and perspective that they would bring to their coverage of the TCCC. While we provided some sample concepts (like 'take us to an event' or 'introduce us to someone') the content was basically wide open. From these entries, we're looking for two bloggers who can capture the atmosphere of the tournament, report it to the members who couldn't be there, and contribute to the TC Channel coverage of the event. Please vote for the entries that you think show the most potential to be great bloggers.

When calculating the winner in this type of election, one can organize the data into a matrix. You can see that matrix here. Each cell (row,col) indicates how many times row was preferred over col. If row beat col, the cell will be red.
