Hi all
The game goes on! We're at semifinals!
Results from the Quarter finals.
- Borneo 36 *Madagascar 66*
It was a surprise that *Madagascar won* against Borneo. Borneo was top
seeded after SE Peru with Machu Picchu and Manu had fallen out in the
previous round.
- Ecuador 64 *Kenya 88
*Again a fallen favorite. Obviously some campaigning in Kenya added
votes to this game. More birders need to vote to make local campaigns less
decisive.
- *Australia 52* North Peru 51.
Congratulations to Australia to win this thriller. Fairy-wrens, colorful
parrots, Cassowary and Lyrebird kicked Marvelous Spatuletail ass!.
- *New Guinea (PNG/Irian Jaya) 78 *Costa Rica 32
New Guinea continues its winning streak in grand style. Birds of
Paradise rule! Seriously, what can match that? Costa Rica did not have a
chance.
SEMIFINALS:
- Madagascar vs New Guinea
- Kenya vs Australia
Yes the semifinals are both Africa vs AustralAsia. The Neotropics and Asia
proper were kicked out in the last round.
So take a few minutes to vote for your favorites in the above games... and
I underline that.... IT IS JUST A GAME...
