Some of those "no votes in the initial round" games are misleading because they weren't nominated until round 2, so they didn't even exist in the first round. The ones that are really good are the games that were nominated in round 2 and then still didn't get any votes.

It's in the current batch of pools, and it has more than 0 votes, so it's going into the elimination round.
