      <body>I would like to see this kind of thing again, so far so good. Going toe to toe with these guys is a pretty good prize too. What's heavier then a Heavy weight? maybe have the winners of a few of these  contest fight for real in the octopus, or whatever it's called.</body>

I agree - elimination as a permanent feature would be awesome. It's cool because it lets you know where you stand quickly - then you can do something else with the design. </body>

A bit of both...today's elimination was rather easy, as the bottom 10 were pretty much the 10 we would have eliminated if it were solely up to us.  Tomorrow's round might have just a bit of Jud &amp; Etti input, but to be honest at that point I think we'd be proud to print any of them, so I think we'll just let the crowd decide.</body>

      <body>Just been through all of the finalists - some really dope designs. It's going to be a bloody and brutal battle I think. I haven't been this excited about a competition for a long while. I think Presidente and Miss Etti deserve a huge pat on the back for what they've built over at shirtfight - they really are doing things right don't you reckon?</body>

      <body>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;cite&gt;daleedwinmurray said:&lt;/cite&gt; Just been through all of the finalists - some really dope designs. It's going to be a bloody and brutal battle I think. I haven't been this excited about a competition for a long while. I think Presidente and Miss Etti deserve a huge pat on the back for what they've built over at shirtfight - they really are doing things right don't you reckon?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Thanks dale that really means a lot to us!

We're trying as hard as possible to make ShirtFight successful, and only half of our definition of success involves money.  The other half is keeping things fun and exciting and putting together a community that is as artist friendly as possible.

The economy is CRAZY bad right now, so hopefully we'll be able to reach our full definition of success :)</body>

I am shaking like a leaf.
Shirt fight has quickly become my favorite contest site hands down.
I really like the structure, I know where I stand all the time.
And getting the design back without a wait really takes the sting out of any loss.
Plus it's a joy just to compete with top talent, and Jud and Lady E are the best bosses ever.
The crazy bad economy is finally starting to hit home for me too. At the day job Donations are down for all the major Theater groups, (Oregon Ballet, Symphony), Less total shows means less work, attendance is down for shows, ( I get shifts cut if promoters can't fill a house, and the balcony is closed ect) plus some drama with the upper management. C.E.O. just resigned ect. I don't have any work this month, and next month looks the same.
I'm sure lots of people have similar stories. The point is these contest mean more then ever to me and a lot of us designers, I don't want to be over dramatic, but winnings mean food and rent, more today then say an xbox or a vacation. 

So Thanks to Shirtfight and all the sites offering an opportunity to use doodle doers.
Man that was long and depressing, I hope I wasn't to much of a bummer.

Thanks Newman, it's so glad to hear we're getting *something* right :D

I wonder if this economy will ever turn around, or did we all get too fat and comfortable and this is just resetting the balance of things.

I know I personally don't buy even a fraction of the stuff I used to.  My xbox360 broke, but instead of rushing right out to get another one I'm going "hmmm do I *really* need to buy it? Do I *really* use it that much?"  This is not something I would have even thought twice about when the economy was good.

It's a shame to see good artists and small businesses suffer.  Hopefully we can all ride this storm out...I just wish there was some way of knowing how much longer we have to ride it out!

Speaking of looming storms...2nd round of eliminations in just 2 hours!  I took a glance at some of the numbers in preparation...there will be some surprises indeed!</body>

      <body>Designers get a week to design, Winners every Thursday at midnight.
Voting starts as soon as the design is approved, so the sooner in the week it's up the more time to promote. If you don't win you still get a chance at being a heavyweight thats the top 10 designers of the week. comes with $2 store money, like a coupon. One of the heavyweights is picked to be the super heavyweight and wins a shirt.

This upcoming week is Tattoos

Hope I got that right.
Check the &lt;a href="http://www.shirtfight.com/blog/"&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; for more details.
The more the merrier, I would like to see what you can come up with. Everyone join the fight.</body>

      <body>Now now, just because you got cut doesn't mean you suck.  Remember, this is a Heavyweight fight...you got a special invitation because of how awesome and talented you all are.

But yeah, trust me it didn't feel good to expire those 8, not one bit.  I just hate it.  I wish we could just print them all!</body>

I'm just monkeying around. I'm grateful for the sharpness of your executioner's blade - puts one out of misery quickly and painlessly!

Best of luck with the winning tee in the future and congrats on an engrossing contest.</body>
