So here we are with the third round of the MSX in the Media Challenge megapoll: Our search for coolest appereance of MSX in the Media from May to November 2004. A grand total of 80 different media mentioning MSX were nominated. 4 rounds of voting on the forums and a frontpage poll will decide which one is the coolest of them all.

So, you're new to the mega-polling system? No problem, it's very simple! Below is a list of 10 pairs. Your job is to divide three points between each pair. So with the pair

event A | event B

the following scores are valid:

3 - 0 ;event A | event B
2 - 1 ;event A | event B
1 - 2 ;event A | event B
0 - 3 ;event A | event B

It is NOT permitted to give halve points, the total points divided each pair HAS to be 3 points. You will have to make this decision each pair, until you completed the entire list. Mixing pairs with others is not allowed. Only completely valid submissions will be counted. This round closes December 12th, 23:59.
