The bracketology begins!

 

First thing, I've altered the nomenclature of the tournament to be in-line with last year's tournament (last year's tournament was called "2011 Most IDM Tournament"). I apologize to all the fans for departing from tradition. This tournament is just one of a great annual tradition.

 

There are some interesting line-ups this year. Right off the bat, we start with a match-up between past favourite Ulillillia and this year's top seed Abandoned cities. Experience versus rookie momentum: who will win? I'm also very curious to see who will win in the match-up between Not being able to explain yourself verbally and Social anxiety.

 

I should also mention, for the sake of full disclosure, that there was a six-way tie for the final 2 places in the tournament. I used my own judgement to remove:

 

Getting a tattoo of your face on your face

A watch that only you know how to read

Urinating in space

Skrillex

 

Sorry to see them not make it (well, I'm not sorry about Skrillex, actually).

 

You can review the full brackets at: http://www.bracketma....cfm?tid=424823

 

The current schedule is as follows (all times are Vancouver time):

 

March 26th, 11 pm: Deadline for qualifying rounds

 

March 28th, 11 pm: Deadline for voting on the initial 64

 

March 30th, 11 pm: Deadline for voting on the 32

 

April 1st, 11 pm: Deadline for voting on 16

 

April 3rd, 11 pm: Deadline for voting on the quarterfinals

 

April 5th, 11 pm: Deadline for voting on the semifinals

 

April 8th 11 pm: Deadline for voting on the final match

Night vs. The WATMM thread about Skrillex was the hardest one for me. Went with Night in the end.

After this I listened to geogaddi and I didn't like it, I was quite vomitting at some tracks, I realized they were too crazy for my ears, they took too much acid to play music I stupidly thought (cliché of psyché music) But I knew this album was a kind of big forest where I just wasn't able to go inside.

- lost cloud

 

I was in US tjis summer, and eat in KFC. FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work!

 

So i hope this woman is not like kfc chicken, otherwise she'll be pulled to pieces.

-organized confused project
