Building a DCI Bracket Tourney

[Jeffe77]

So I'm going to construct a tourney of a 64 Corps bracket to determine favorite show of all time via polls. Similar to Grantland's SNL 64 Bracket to determine fav SNL cast member

I'm thinking of either figuring out the seeding by a series of polls or forming an online committee to figure out the 4 #1 seeds and so on. Perhaps we can divide the brackets by eras. 16 Corps from 72-82 The Early Years, 16 from 83-93 From Z pull to Star Era, 16 from 94-03 (No clever name for that Era) and finally 16 from 04-14 The Blue Era (j/k).

We can have the DCI Champs automatically in the tournament and the non champs as at large berths in to it. I count 46 in the tournament automatically. With 18 slots to be filled.

Let me know what you think. I have a bracket generator ready to go.

Wasn't this done in March this year during March Madness?

Yep- I did two versions last season and I plan on doing another version next March:

Ok, nevermind. MODS go ahead and close. I will say this generator made it easy to create. Thought I suggest this for your tourney next year - http://www.betterbracketmaker.com/

Also its possible to do 64 corps not 32. Really make it fun.

Thanks for the suggestion, Jeff.

Martin Short over Jane Curtin? Hmm.

And I'd have a very hard time choosing between Mike Myers and Phil Hartman in that pairing.
