That was a fun ride BYU - thanks for doing the legwork

Very interesting. My number one was the number one seed. Such a great library of work. Was interesting to hear the discussions in those early rounds.

Enjoyed doing it, just wish we had seen a few more upsets along the way

I wonder how it plays out if you hadn't made the seeding public.

I thought about that, drawing the matchups similar to the FA Cup so it was random each time. Might have made it more interesting.

Vince, Pt. II · 09-09-2017, 02:05 AM

I would have advocated for using the seeds exactly as you did to determine matchup, but just don't list the seeds when you made the poll.

britrock88 · 09-09-2017, 05:48 PM

Or maybe use them the way tennis does, where there's only a certain amount of protection for more favored seeds.

AlexB · 09-09-2017, 06:43 PM

Or maybe we should just appreciate the fact that someone took the time to arrange a little distraction that was just a bit of fun

Vince, Pt. II · 09-09-2017, 07:46 PM

Oh, not a complaint in the least - I know how much work that must have been

Just idle musing.

Maybe we should do an NIT-style also-rans tournament featuring only American bands?

BYU 14 · 09-10-2017, 12:28 AM

A swiss style tournament might have been fun too, might have made it a little more unpredictable.

I am going to do something with lead singers down the road and may use that format for that.

I would have voted for Zep if I knew when the poll was up. Seemed like a really short voting window.
