SAMUS wins the first ever B8 Blind Brackteering!

I had a lot of fun running this. Super low stress, a good time, and fairly easy to run means I definitely want to run it more. So what do you guys suggest for continuing this?

• Do you like the 32-entrant bracket? Or would you prefer 16 or 64?
• Do you have suggestions for future initial subjects, or individual rounds, or both? I might take some suggestions, I might mix them in with my own or other people's, might just let a RNG decide what goes with what (assuming it makes sense). Feel free to PM me with suggestions for future rounds to avoid spoiling anything.
• Any other suggestions for running this? Comments, concerns, etc.?

I was generally happy with it. I could see going to 64 and/or doing 1v1's to start, if you wanted to extend the games, but I can also understand favoring the quick format. I'm scared to know how we'll button mash if there's ever a tie.

bump for more thoughts

64 would be better I think because it was fun seeing the prompts and felt like it ended so suddenly.

This is a great series idea that I'd like to see go on longer next time. I was away for a few days and missed basically all of it. Switching to 1v1s might help with the rounds flying by but I wouldn't be upset about a bigger bracket either.

Something else I'd like to see is some kind of second chance deal for characters that lost early. There were some great characters nominated that didn't get to do much because they didn't fit the prompt.

I agree with this

Definitely something I might try next time. I think I might still keep the first round the 4-way match since that's such a staple of Bracketeering (and also I do like the quick pace of the contest; it makes it feel simple and easy)
