    Quoted from JakeFAttie:

    In the end, not that many upsets. Somehow I'm not sure this is the best way to do the matchups, but I'm not sure what would be better. (maybe completely random for the first round? Or maybe, since we're starting with a ranked system already, 1vs2, 2vs3, etc for the first round?) This way seems to be designed to keep the hard decisions to the last round, and the first round pretty easy choices, but why? Wouldn't GZ vs MM be a great first round match up? And JP vs AFM, and Deadpool Vs Iron Maiden, etc? Would definitely make the first round more interesting, and maybe more fair to the lower ranked titles; give them a better chance to make it to second round, and make the big boys work harder from the beginning. Something to thinks about for next time....
    Anyways, I can't believe folks are choosing Rush over Star Wars??? Really????

    Because rush rules!!! . Love our game, but it will not advance far I'm sure

    Would also be nice to use the full top 100 next time, if it can be done.

    #53 1 year ago

    GOT and LOV should be easily beating their matchups.

    Can't use 100, someone will get a bye. 64 seems like the right, ncaa style rules . You'd have to go to 128 to get it back to heads-up all the way thru

    A little over two hours until voting closes. Make sure you get your votes in.

    In any tournament setting, the highest rated team, individual, or pin in this matter, gets the advantage of playing the worst rated pin of the 64. Having GZ or MM in the first round wouldn’t make sense. There wouldn’t be much excitement at the end of the tournament. However, the cream will rise to the top, and we will have matches like GZ versus MM or AFM versus JP.

    I don’t disagree with you, some of these pins don’t belong in the Top 64. This is why the Top 100 doesn’t get too much respect.

    I love the way you do this. Lots of fun. Keep it going!

    Just found this and one of my favorite threads. Huge props to the Op as usual.

    Couple of heartbreakers for me....

    Definitely some die hard DI fans to take down WOZ like this!

    Anxious to see who wins it all this year.

    TZ edging MM was an epic battle!!!

    One hour to go…

    FunHouse and Pirates (JJP) are only separated by two votes!

    #61 1 year ago

    Poll is closed. I will be working on getting Round 2 up and running before 12pm EST tomorrow. Updated matches coming soon.

    The Godzilla bracket is brutal. EHOH vs BM66 in the second round? Twilight Zone…. Lots of top games in that one.

    #63 1 year ago

    JJP Pirates came back and beat Funhouse by 1! Wow what a match!!

    #64 1 year ago

    This is going to be good!!!

    Total fucking bullshit match

    #66 1 year ago

    Haven't really looked at the brackets yet...

    Gotta believe 1 of the big 3 take it again this year, but 2 of the top 4 are Sterns this time....who knows?

    Annoyed I missed this!! The other trial-run threads threw me off!

    Those were annoying! Good news though, Round 2 starts tomorrow.
