How to play

Object: To predict which icons will be elected ironically coolest.
Winning:   The winner will be the bettor with the highest score.
Play:Before Round 3 begins, each bettor chooses a unique team with four icons, one from each division, by posting his or her choices in the comments. One of these icons is "team captain", who the bettor ultimately thinks will win the tournament. While many bettors may choose the same icons, no two bettors may choose the exact same teams (and the one choosing first will have first crack at her or his "star lineup"). Should a bettor choose an icon or icons that do not make it to Round 3 (ie. a losing icon from this week's or next week's matches - move the mouse over the question marks), that bettor may change her of his choice in that division to another available icon.
Scoring:   When icons win a match, they score points equal to the round of the battle (a win in round one scored one point, in round two scored two points, and so on). All players having finished two rounds have three points. In addition, the "team captain" icon scores one additional point for any match that they win. In addition, icons that win a battle in a "squash" (greatest margin of victory in a given week during Round 3, 4, or 5 matches) will earn an additional bonus equal to the number of the round. Icons losing a squash will be penalized points equal to the round number as well.
Updates will be posted weekly.
Comments:
TEAM MOXY!

Action: Daedalus
Animal: Babar
Cute/Funny: Mr. Line (C)
Pot Pouri: Keyop
 
Choosing Mr. Line before he's officially beaten Mr. Turtle? That takes MOXY!

In the event he gets defeated you may choose another Cute or Funny icon before round three starts. Otherwise, this icon combo is yours!

I'll follow your lead and post my picks shortly.
 
OK, I'll take Jeremy as my captain, Stella, Dr. Snuggles, and Keyop.

Bring the battles!
 
TEAM ICE

Action: Rocket Robinhood
Animal: Newt
Cute: Little Prince
Pot: Stay Puft

STAY PUFT to take the crown!

Woooowhoooo!

StayPuft

Team Captain: Jeremy Bear (unless i cannot duplicate captains - in which case i will put Barbapapa in the winner's seat).

Teams are confirmed for Barrie Ice, Jon A, Vicbear, and goodurs (who posted on the icon-o-clash announcement among discussion of the term farmer's bet).
 
Where's the love for Hong Kong Phooey?

The Crappy Team:

Hong Kong Phooey (C)
Gleek

Gonzo
 
A-BEAR'S 4 HORSEMEN

Action: RRH, the hood from Sherwood
Animal: Babar, the punk with a trunk
Cute/Funny: Barbapapa, no relation to above
Potpourri: Boot, shaken not kicked

It will be the big pink blob, who rises from the mob, to take the ICON crown, and shamble out of town.
 
A-Bear and Ahhh_Crap teams are noted. If boot should get defeated, A-bear will have an instant or two to choose a replacement...
