On a scale of 1-10, how much (or little) did you enjoy this contest?










California, by a 7-5 margin over Washington! The overall 1-seed managed to shake off its early-round troubles quite nicely to take the title. Check out California's full path, alongside the rest of the bracket, right here: https://challonge.com/B8FNAS

Congrats are also in order to @hylianknight3 , who has the right to fill my signature's second line as a consequence of their bracket scoring more points than MZero's. As I stated before, my own host bias bracket does not count for this particular competition.

Thank you to everyone who entertained my little lark by voting, especially those of you who showed up day in and day out despite my failure to keep up a consistent schedule and who commented in the discussion topic or on Discord. Don't expect another contest from yours truly for a while; in the meantime, if you're looking for something else to vote in, check these two out:

If anyone has anything more to say about B8FNAS, post it below. Otherwise, that's it from me.

California winning isn't very unexpected but I was mildly impressed at how well the Canadian provinces and territories did.

Once a couple started winning I was hoping they were gonna go further.

@MetalmindStats

Sadly, I have failed to think of anything remotely funny or clever or charming!

So I will have to settle for shameless self-promotion:

"Hylian hits dizzying heights others daren't aim for. He's the Celeste of Board 8 users."

As somebody who has only been there once when he was a young lad going to Disney World, can anyone offer me the reasoning that makes California so great?

I'm a big fan of northern california.

It's warm and dry, but not as scorching as arizona and new mexico.

People are pretty chill, and i guess i just have positive associations. It has some of those northwest (washington, oregon) attitudes but it's not overwhelming

It's been a while, might be different now that the state gets set on fire every summer

I think overall it just has a lot of stuff in it. LA is different from SF is different from sacramento is different from the more rural areas. Rural californians are a different type

And it's just really big and has a lot of nature.

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.
