Tournament of Death - Round 2 Matchups

Round 1 of the Super Xtreme Asskickin Monster Truck Firestorm Tournament of Death is in the books. Our panel of 17 judges had a difficult time deciding on some of the first round matches, and their job only gets harder from here on out (that's what she said). To give this tournament even more credibility, we added Will Leitch of Deadspin as our celebrity voter.

For those of you keeping track at home, here is what round two looks like:

Hazelwood Regional
#1 WIFFLEBALL vs. #9 SPRING WEATHER
#4 YOUTUBE vs. #12 500-FT HOMERUNS
#3 TAUNTING vs. #11 OFFENSIVE T-SHIRTS
#7 MINIATURE GOLF vs. #15 PUNK ROCK

Alton Regional
#1 POOP vs. #9 MAKING IT RAIN
#4 NINTENDO vs. #5 BRICKED DUNK AFTER THE WHISTLE
#3 BEEF JERKY vs. #6 GRAND THEFT AUTO
#2 COLLEGE LIFE vs. #10 HOME RUN DERBY

Woodson Terrace Regional
#1 BACON ON ANYTHING vs. #9 MALT LIQUOR
#4 TOURNAMENTS vs. #5 RECLINING CHAIRS
#6 TURNING HEEL vs. #14 BIG-ASS TV'S
#2 R.B.I. BASEBALL vs. #7 FANTASY LEAGUES

Natural Bridge Regional
#1 FANTASY DRAFTS vs. #8 BEING WHITE
#4 WINNING SOMEONE'S MONEY IN POKER vs. #5 ANCHORMAN QUOTES
#3 FARTING vs. #6 BUFFETS
#2 BARBEQUE vs. #7 PRESS CONFERENCE BLOWUPS


As you can tell, not a lot of upsets so far. The Natural Bridge Region was all chalk. Woodson Terrace's only slip-up was #3 White Castle losing to #14 Big Ass TV's. If the voters would have been voting while drunk at 3 am, White Castle probably would have won in a rout. The only bracket-busting Region so far has been in Hazelwood, with their #11, 12, and 15 seeds moving on, in hopes of making a charge into the Sweet 16.

For the second round, in the Alton Region, #9 Making it Rain will be a tough early matchup for #1 Poop. It would seem impossible for poop to falter this early (especially since it is round #2...get it...haha poop), but because of the huge performance that Making it Rain put up vs. Photoshop, it has a legitimate shot to pull off the upset. Another matchup I like is #3 Taunting vs. #11 Offensive T-Shirts in the Hazelwood Region. Despite their difference in seeding, I think both sides are pretty even on paper. That's why they play the games in your computer box.

Our judges will go back to work over the next few days doing some careful analysis on each matchup. We'll let you know the results later this week!

Peace.
