Fight Club got 4 nominations and didn't get a berth? I'm already calling the validity of this tournament into question.

There were 8 movies in this region with 4 votes but only enough space for 5 to make the field. Fight Club had the lowest tiebreak score (RPI, if you will) of the movies with 4 votes. Gangs of New York and American History X also had 4 votes but not a high enough score.
