Now that the play-in games and the thirty-two opening round matches have been revealed (and some concluded), here is the official bracket, in excel.

There are no official seeds in the brackets, as first round matchups were selected to best fit logical competitors - i.e. two NFL players, two NBA coaches, or in the case of Steamboat vs Flair, two wrestlers who had a direct feud (it could have been argued that splitting this and the Martel/Rude pairing would have been fairer). The bracket will be updated after the completion of each round.

The Round of 32 will be posted over four days, with four matchups each day, starting Thursday. The Round of 16 is scheduled to begin 11/13.

I'm pretty sure you may be the biggest dork in spreadsheet history.

Drake, thought I'd chime in to tell you I have read two paragraphs of your first chapter and have considered reading all of it when I poop.

Hey, Shorty! Thanks for reading.

If you get hooked and want a Word doc of the "finished" novel as it currently stands, shoot me a PM with your e-mail address.

Of course, then you'd stop reading my blog. So maybe I shouldn't offer that. :)

Slick Rick gets a brutal 2nd round matchup.

Actually, Slick Rick lost to Ricky Bell (http://www.operationsports.com/fofc/showthread.php?t=61791) (BBD version), in the matchup with the second lowest turnout - 6 to 4* (even *I* forgot to vote in that one). Travesty, I say.


* lowest was Byrdsong vs the other Ricky Bell

Do we have to send a fruit basket or something to the winner?

And that bracket is now updated to reflect Round 1 results!
