I decided to hold a simple save contest in order to determine the 23 entrants.
Rules:
- You can save a company every hour
- Companies need 3 votes to be safe and make the bracket
- Last 15 are out
- Votes by suspected alts and/or people from other boards will be removed at my discretion
- If voting is too slow, I reserve the right to close it or cancel it altogether and determine the final entrants myself

I think 3 votes is a bit much, unless you plan to keep this round going for a loooong time... 2 would be more suitable.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

I got the feeling this round would be over if you just put "Save My Gaming Company" in the topic title.
