How close is this!? Love it.
I gotta wonder if it would slide in Skinner's favour if he hadn't had these concussion issues....
The method was simple. Each of the writers and forum vets were asked to provide a ranking of their top 36 players. The votes were tabulated and each player was given a seeding based on where they ranked in the polls. So four #1 seeds were established. Four #2's and so on.
From there I had some fun pairing off players that I felt would make for compelling matches.
To address Dyz's question more directly, the reason you feel one bracket is more challenging than another may simply be a result of your own subjective opinion or the simple fact that not all players of a certain seed are created equally.
This is the case in the March Madness bracket every year and yet every year there are still upsets. Transative properties will not necessarily apply to this tournament. Not every seed is going to be assigned the way the global community sees it so there will be upsets. We won't be able to say one player made it to round four so he is definitely better than the player who made it to round three unless they faced off directly. So the only true answers will come from the direct match ups and the ultimate winner of the tournament but fun is going to be engaging in the exercise.
Cool, was just wondering, not complaining.
Anyone else but me thinking some of the luster is starting to wear off with regard to Duchene realizing his potential?
I'm not known as the most patient man in the world, mind you.

Definitely, but just remember that young players are like shirts - awesome when you first get 'em but eventually the novelty wears off. It just so happens that you spilt some wine on this particular shirt and it has been at the dry cleaners for the past week. Seriously bro, pick up the shirt. It's a keeper.
Duchene, just simply more skilled and a better supporting cast around him to grow with.

grammar Nazi
Noun
(slang, idiomatic) 1. A person who habitually corrects or criticizes the language usage of others, especially in situations where it is unnecessary, e.g. an informal conversation.
Notes: This behavior is almost always found in people with very low I.Q's, whom have a very low sense of self worth. Impotence is also commonly linked to Grammar Nazi's.
The best part is, that the match-ups and results can be analyzed, referenced and debated in future years!
" You said you don't give a f*ck about hockey. I've never heard anyone say that before."
This will most definitely be a factor.
Hey, MD, how long is each poll open? I may have overlooked that tidbit, so apologies if this has been already stated.
Thanks, bud.
@SmittysRant
I think it's open until Wednesday morning though I will be tabulating votes Tuesday evening.

Agreed on the fun of future analysis, will be great to come back and look at these results 1 year, 3 years etc down the road.
Overall an excellent idea Metal and well executed, love it!
ill go with Duchene
