I've finally finished listening to this episode. Good stuff, everyone, especially the guests!

A few more specific things I wanted to mention:

First, and just a minor detail, but one I've personally really grown to appreciate for its irony, is that Cloud prevailed against Mario thanks to rallies. And I can't help but think that Yo was the only B8er who was both around for both Cloud/Mario matches and got the winner he wanted out of each of them.

Second, it was pretty funny having all three of you choose the same star and turd of the past week. Samus and Mario are very good choices, too, even if I might not have chosen them as my number 1 star and turd, respectively.

Finally, my overall contest grade is B+, and like TPLink, I would rank CBX first out of the four contests I was around for (2013 to the present). The plus there is for generally excellent bracket design (excepting Allen's decision not to flip the losers' bracket positioning). There were definitely things Allen could have done better (match pictures, for one), but what's truly keeping CBX out of the A range for me is the lack of matches/results that were more than momentarily exciting for me personally. The only true F5-type match for me was Garrus vs. Ramza during the night, and that was a meaningless one-pointer. As close as Mario vs. Samus II was, I just wasn't very excited by it because of the lack of trends.
