ST22 Round 3 Rankings
Before we get to the results of Round 3, two quick notes:

1. Zoe Gray had an unexpected but unavoidable conflict with judging Round 3. Song Fight and Nur Ein regular Owl has graciously agreed to step in as a substitute judge for this round. Thank you Owl! We expect Zoe to be back for the Final Round.

2. Other life stuff conspired for other judges (and myself) such that not all judges' reviews are ready to be posted. Rather than make everyone wait for any results at all, we're posting the judges' rankings now, with reviews to follow later.

With that in mind, read on for Round 3 rankings!

While there were some dramatic discrepancies among the judges' rankings (as to be expected with a difficult challenge and thirteen artists who have all proven their talent twice over), one artist quickly and incontrovertibly rose to the top. With first or second place rankings from every single judge, Joy Sitler handedly wins Round 3. Congratulations, Joy!

Moving on to the Final Round with Joy are glennny in second place, Ironbark in third place, and The Alleviators in fourth. Congratulations to our four finalists, and best wishes in the Final Round!

Here are the full rankings from your judges:

Thank you to our fantastic judging panel: Phlub, Valerie Polichar, Josh HelfinSiegel, SpinTunes 15 Champion Zoe Gray and SpinTunes 21 Champion Tunes By LJ, as well as our Round 3 alternate judge owl. They all gave generously of their time, energy, and insight throughout the tournament.

Thank you to Tommy G for faithfully running the Listening Parties, to Matt "Shoob" Schubbe for continuing to provide wonderful cover art for yet another tournament, and to Lolzilla for her Bonus Round art.

And of course, thank you to all the participants who made SpinTunes 22 another successful tournament. The world is now 90 songs richer thanks to your contributions. I hope you'll be back for SpinTunes 23. Until then, take care and keep making music!
