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.

This.

It's more fun, and more fair to see the first round dedicated largely to toys that share simular niches.
In this case TMNT vs MotU makes perfect since. They shared virtually identical niches.

Same with Super Powers vs Secret Wars. There were some oddball matches (Battle Beasts vs Madballs, where Battle Beasts vs MUSCLE may have made more sense). But all in all, everything has been laid out great, and makes absolute sense.
Treating it so seriously like those idiotic sports games is what's asinine.

Please get over your passive aggressive BS. You've made several pot shots at me in this thread, and I am asking you nicely to please stop. Back off.
