Begining effect?! dont like it too much
1-2: Beatmatching is quite a bit off, especially 2:30 - 3:30. Harmonics: dont cross the base back and forth, do it quickly one way or slower to make is sound smoother (as you should for progressive) Also base cut was too long in my oppinion around 4:50
2-3: Interesting way of transitioning which i kinda liked. A lot better then the first transition, altho u should have brought in the melodic part a bit sooner and a bit slower. Should really stop paying around with effects too 
3-4: transitioned in the part with no beats on song 3, shouldnt do that. Song 4 came in a bit too loud at first, too much trebble perhaps
4-5: Again transitioned in the quiet part
5-6: Track 6 was brought in a bit too loud among other transition problems
6-7: compared to previous stuff this was almost OK ...
btw at this point you are over the 5-6 song limit so its up to Sphere to decide if he wants to disqualify you for this or count the score. read the rules on front page please.
7-8: around 25:20 the 8th song sounds like static nosise, not really beatmatched, hence transition sounds bad
8-9: smoother transition

Mixing with vinyls is tough. Keep pracitcing on beatmatching. Overall i really liked the songs you used, Altho i think the order should have been completely different. You should have started with the downtempo part first and then slowly moved on to faster songs and finished with the song you used in the very beginning. Keep songs playing longer, 3 min per song doesnt do do justice and the listener has to move on to the next song before getting into the current one. Also, dont use efects untill you get better at mixing, i think at this point they make your mix worse rather then better.

Techical part was pretty good. Howerver, the song selection and order was a different story. First 4 tracks were REALLY similar (i didnt say ALL cause i think 5 and 6 got a bit more energy, or maybe it was just me waking up), comon mix thing up a bit :P All songs are nice on their own but all these in same mix are kinda boring. You've got the techincal, now time to work on the creative part of putting toghether a 'mix'.
Score:
---------------------------------
Beat-matching: 23/25
Track selection and play order: 22/25 (lost makrs mostly for play order)
Transition harmonics: 24/25
TOTAL: 69/75.... 92%
WINNER: Opponent2 [I am guessing but this sounds like Sphere's mix ]
