[MikeWilliams]

For our Action Category, Maxweeble and Meso AMV got an identical point score, coming at it from different directions on the way we break down our scoring. And then, we individually polled the judges, just considering the two of them and no other videos, and came up with a tie again. As head judge, I made the call that both would receive recognition and the award for our Action Runner Up.

[Silvercoat]

Woo! Glad I could be a part of this contest! Hope you guys had a great convention!
