With the nomination round and two initial rounds of voting done, the tough job can now finally begin. Out of a grand total of 71 nominees, 48 moved on to the third round. From now on, only 50% will make it to the next round. You can decide which MSX demos are worthy enough for the "Best MSX Demo ever" title, simply by casting a votesheet. Are you ready? Here goes...

Below is a list of 24 pairs. Your job is to divide three points between each pair. So with the pair

option A | option B

the following scores are valid:

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

These are the only valid scores you can cast. Mixing pairs with others is not allowed, only non-negative integers are allowed and the sum of 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.

So all you have to do to vote is join the MRC, log in and fill in the votesheet below. This second round closes February 21st, 23:59 CET. Happy voting!

Dvik: even despite the doubles in the first two rounds, your "strong against weak"-voting system is working out really nicely. Once again, thanks for suggesting it!

Looks very good indeed. I didn't check who MSX 20th Anniversary Demo was up against last rounds but thats one of my favorite demos ever and it seemed to barely made it. Other than that one I think the list looks quite representative +/- 10 positions or so.

When we get down to top 10, I think only one or two demos that most people expect there will be missing. And certainly the top 4 would be quite accurate.
