We’re down to the Eclectic Eight in Random Bracket Challenge III.
Voting in the finals of both the Tom Schuller Pod and Rodger Taylor Pod will start tonight, while the Randy Baker Pod and Shelly Hotzler Pod will start on Friday.
Speed-up rules for the end of RBC III had been considered due to some potential changes in conducting polls on Twitter, but we got wrapped up in other items and didn’t get them started. So, we’ll see what happens.
Again, voting in the Schuller and Taylor pods will start on Twitter around 8 p.m. Find me on Twitter @sportsdr44.
