How do the brackets work?
-
Lady Antebellum?!?!
What about Jason Aldean? Rascal Flatts? Florida Georgia Line? Luke Bryan? Dierks Bentley? Toby Keith? Keith Urban? Eric Church?
Seedings a little weird other than LADY FUCKING ANTEBELLUM, not a bad field.
A THREE SEED?!?! C'mon! Play-in game. Maybe.
Sugarland, way hotter than Lady Antebellum, too,
-
The bottom right quadrant.... umm WTF?
Chesney, Dixie Chicks and maybe C-Wood and Paisley can make an argument. The rest of that is some fucking shit. Like ATBSJBS level of shit. Toby Keith! Clint Black! Travis Tritt! If you're going to include pop singers with a touch of cuntry just call Taylor Swift #1 and be done.
Zac Brown Band also blows except for like 3 songs and when they cover Enter Sandman. They can GTFO.
The rest is fine. -
Are we being *whooshed* on the lower right bracket? That's the only explanation.
No sign of Tim McGraw?

Teq will go over the names of the brackets but as you can see the left side is mostly 50s to 80s (with a few exceptions) and the right side is 90s to present. Teq was the new country expert and @swaye and I were there to make sure old country got the appropriate seedings.

So it it basically two 16 entry brackets rather than 4 8 entry brackets?YellowSnow said:Teq will go over the names of the brackets but as you can see the left side is mostly 50s to 80s (with a few exceptions) and the right side is 90s to present.

The bottom right should all be disqualified for sucking balls. Also, Carrie Underwood is a trash human. How is she a 1 seed for anything that’s not shitting on kids with terminal cancer?

Lady A is a 4 seed and not a 3 seed ... their awards mantle is pretty vast which was a heavy factor in the criteria for inclusion. Having them vs Little Big Town as a 1st round matchup is consistent with the debates that many have of who is better -
I think new/modern country is garbage, but that’s my personal preference - that being said, you seeded that particular bracket perfectly. I respect your decision to include that era.YellowSnow said:dnc said:
