KidVid Tournament 2012 Champion: Princess Katie & Racer Steve

After a close, hard-fought, and fair battle, New York City's Princess Katie & Racer Steve and their video "Sand in My Sandwich" defeated Los Angeles' Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band and their video "Blue Bear" in a KidVid Tournament 2012 championship match.  This year we ended up having a real Cinderella champion. (OK, that's the last time I'm going to make that reference.)

So, huzzah to all the participants and all the fans who voted over these past three weeks.  Huzzah to all my fellow kindie website operators who hosted matchups over these past three weeks.  And huzzah to Princess Katie and Racer Steve, Champions of KidVid Tournament 2012!

KidVid Tournament 2012: Lucky Diaz vs. Princess Katie & Racer Steve

After three weeks of frenzied tournament action, KidVid Tournament 2012 comes to a conclusion today.

The championship features two very popular videos (natch) -- Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band's "Blue Bear" and Princess Katie & Racer Steve's "Sand in My Sandwich."

For the final time I will reiterate that this is a silly little internet contest and not worth getting upset over. [Yes, peope get upset over these things.] So, watch both videos below -- even if (especially if) you came here intending to vote for a specific video. One vote per family (the software checks for these sorts of things) by 8:30 PM West Coast time tonight. Most importantly, have fun!

KidVid Tournament 2012: Lucky Diaz vs. Suzi Shelton

It's time for the second matchup in the KidVid Tournament 2012 Final Four.

This matchup features the only #1 seed to make all the way through to here -- the Leadbelly Region winner's Lucky Diaz and the Family Jam Band's "Blue Bear" -- fighting against another true (if tomboy-ish) Cinderella squad, Suzi Shelton's "Tomboy in a Princess Dress," the #8 seed which won the Pete Seeger Region.

So, watch both videos below -- even if (especially if) you came here intending to vote for a specific video. One vote per family by 8:30 PM West Coast time tonight.  Once again, play nice, y'all -- this isn't worth getting hot'n'bothered about.  Most importantly, have fun!

KidVid Tournament 2012: Todd McHatton vs. Princess Katie & Racer Steve

After a fun couple days of Elite Eight competitions for KidVid Tournament 2012, it's time for the Final Four.

The first Final Four matchup features a couple of Cinderella squads.  For at least half of the matchup, that's actually a decent description as it pits the Woody Guthrie Region winner, the #4 seed Princess Katie & Racer Steve's "Sand in My Sandwich" against the Ella Jenkins Region winner, the #6 seed Todd McHatton's "I Think I'm a Bunny."

So, watch both videos below -- even if (especially if) you came here intending to vote for a specific video.  One vote per family by 8:30 PM West Coast time tonight.  Play nice, y'all -- this isn't worth getting hot'n'bothered about.  Most importantly, have fun!
