The Red Group had several amazingly tight races, with just one point separating the winners from the losers! As the Immunity Challenge + People’s Choice winner, alenas automatically advanced to the final round and also received +4 points on her final score. Congrats to Deto15 for tying with dalarty for the highest-scoring wall this round, and special thanks to afwells for filling in as super last minute wildcard for us!
(Because of rounding, total scores may be a point off from the sum of the technical/creative/meets theme/overall points.)
HUGE thanks to our awesome judges, who have once again kept up the high standard of scoring and critiquing for this round. Be sure to thank them properly!
All entries were judged by all 10 of our judges (Jay included). Each judge was given a minimum # of comments, but were given the option of commenting more if they wished.
Also, be sure to check out the BLUE group’s results! 
These groups were just our way of breaking all 19 contestants into manageable posts – no other meaning is associated with these groups
Post links to your AP-submitted walls here once you’re done uploading so we can pimp them properly! Thanks <3

Congrats to dalarty for tying with Deto15 for the highest-scoring wall this round, and special thanks to highknees, Horseradish, and AssasinXXX for filling in as super last minute wildcards for us!

Elimination Challenge 2 Officially Closed!
To everyone who got their submissions in on time – great job! Definitely lots of fun walls this round and I really look forward to passing your entries over to the uber judges. There are a few of you who we need some additional things from – check your emails – so if you can get that to apclash2010@gmail.com ASAP, that would be awesome
As of last count, we’re waiting on FOUR walls (and two walls from awesome wildcards who got reaally late invitations to the contest ^^;). If you haven’t already gotten in touch with us to let us know your status (late? Dropping out?), please do so ASAP.
A reminder to the late wallers – you’re not only racking up a -5 point deduction per day (and running the risk of getting fewer if any comments from our uber judges), but (per the rules) we will NOT accept late entries 3 days after the deadline, since we want to make sure the uber judges have enough time to judge and so we can announce the round results on time. So if you’ve got something in the works, definitely get it in ASAP!
P.S. The casualties for this round so far are storm-and-fire, Yina, and TheMajor. Much thanks to the awesome wildcards who agreed to fill in for them!
Update: One more casualty! moutonzare also had to pull out of the competition, so tons of thanks to the awesome wildcard who agreed to fill in <3 This will also be the last casualty announcement for this round until the results are announced!
