Countdown till deadline

The countries that end at 1st and 2nd place proceed to the next round. The ranking of the match will be decided using these rules:
- Ranked by lowest average ranking.
- In case of a tie between two movies, head-to-head determines the winner (how many people thought A>B and how many thought B>A).
- In case there's still a tie after the previous rule or there is a tie between three or four movies, most #1-votes determines the winner.
- Still a tie? Fewest #4-votes determines the winner.
- Still a tie? The match will have a 3 day extension (except when the tie is only between #3 and #4).

Here's a quick summary of how the tournament works

We start with 48 films from 48 countries. Each country has a manager who determines which movie will be watched. In the first round the countries are divided into 12 groups of 4. From each group the countries that end up at #1 and #2 proceed to the next round. In the 2nd round the 24 remaining countries will be divided into 8 groups of 3. The managers pick a new movie. The winner of each group proceeds to the next round. The final 8 countries compete one-on-one in the quarter finals (with a new movie of course) and so on till the final.

This was nearly a two-doc round, but I hesitated nominating a doc just for that reason. All things being equal, it seems most forum members prefer fiction films to docs, so it's an uphill climb.

Ah, some love again. It already started getting me depressed.

You only need a few lovers to get it on 500<400. That was your goal all along, right?

Nope. I just think it's a masterpiece and I genuinely don't understand why everyone doesn't love it.

But let's discuss this after the round is finished (I'm very well willing to). I shouldn't have posted this comment in the first place. I don't want to influence the ratings by a premature discussion.

At first I thought it's Mate_cosido's double account. I noticed them both posting around the same time + they vote in the same fashion.

Don't think I'm going to make it for this match either. Haven't seen any of the four films left, and I don't feel like bingewatching. Only seen 4 films so far this month. :O
