If you eek your way into the playoffs, why do you deserve an easier route to the championship? At the same time, when your team has been head & shoulders above 98% percent of the competition, why should their road to the championship be harder? This is such a close battle, it should have been for the title of the best line. Whichever line wins this round, will crush every other line they go up against. Making the rest of the tournament boring.

Asinine & unfair to you. Common practice and makes perfect sense to millions & millions of sports fans around the world...
The difference being that this isn't sports. There is no "seeding" in play here. There was no season to determine placement on the grid, there's no trophy being sent to the company whose toy line comes out on top and no off season where these picks have to try and regroup and hope to make it next year.

It's nothing more than a series of polls to determine who you all vote to come out on top of this particular bracket. I hand picked who faces off because those are the match ups I felt like pairing and would yield some excitement in the early polls along with a bit of uncertainty. Personally I didn't feel like spending the first 12 weeks being able to write up the weekly winners without even having to check the voting.

This was really meant to be a fairly meaningless set of polls to have some fun and win someone $50 to BBTS.
