Second round of Screwball Film Tourney results

A lot more closer matches this round as three of them were decided by 5 points or less. Two of the three top seeds rolled to easy victories, none more so than It Happened One Night Night. It hammered Merrily We Live 46-1. And Live just picked up that single vote on Thursday after 4 days of tourney play. Overall top seed Bringing Up Baby had little difficulty in defeating Midnight 33-13. But the last remaining top seed, My Man Godfrey had a devil of time with The Awful Truth before taking it down 27-21. And the one upset occurred when seventh seeded Ball of Fire beat third seed You Can't Take It With You 25-20. Here are the  complete scores on all eight matches. Round 3 will begin Sunday as the winners move on.
