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:

Kenny is great in concert. And saying Chris Stapleton sucks balls is blasphemy!!!ThomasFremont said: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?

I’m surprised Tom McGraw missed the cut, over the likes of lady, little big town, and the chicks.
-
I missed him on the list actually. 1/8...I stand by my original statement.greenblood said:

I cracked the code -
It was Teq tl;dr and he assumed we wouldnt get all the way to the lower right hand bracket.
-
Neko was robbed
-
No Free Pub!!!!!

Was trying to also respect the balance between solo and group acts ... Tim McGraw was a difficult omission for me as I’m a big fan of his workgreenblood said:I’m surprised Tom McGraw missed the cut, over the likes of lady, little big town, and the chicks.
-
Very much deserving of pub - thank you for compiling the bracket ... was focused on getting it posted after a soccer double headerUW_Doog_Bot said:No Free Pub!!!!!

Good morning everyone. I am sitting at the airport and my plane is broken. Fuck you United Express. Anyway, none of this bitching matters because if Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings or John Cash don't win, you are all fags anyway.

I just don't see how anyone on the right side of the bracket could take down the winner of the left side.Swaye said:Good morning everyone. I am sitting at the airport and my plane is broken.

On another note, here's my list of the old country legends we fucked over, gloves off addition...
Buck Owens
Jerry Jeff Walker
Doug Sahm / Sir Douglas Quintet
Roger Miller
Kris Kristofferson
Conway Twitty

Shit, yeah add him too.PurpleThrobber said:Are we being *whooshed* on the lower right bracket? That's the only explanation.

All depends on taste … but there are people on the right side that should be very competitive in this … but then again to each their own.YellowSnow said:

Waylon Jennings is the ONLY correct answer.

Sure, of course. My gut is just telling me our demographic here is more old vs new country. We shall see.Tequilla said:

The lower right bracket is top heavy. Tittays rule.
Sugarland should be there (LR)
Top Left is tuff - Patsy Cline only a 4 seed - Crazy -
Lower left bracket is a buzzsaw.
