Pawtucket Bracket

The final bracket is highlighted by 5 teams with multiple entries, features 2 Kansas City vs Rochester matchups, and has only 2 first round matchups not featuring an LCS winner.

In the #1 seed of the bracket, and the #1 overall seed of the entire tournament, are the season 5 KC Shuffle, who won a record 122 games, as well as the World Series. They face a season 7 Rochester team that caught a hot streak into the NLCS.

The 8th seeded San Francisco Sourdoughs of season 1 were the first ever NL Champions, and come from the only division in SW history to have 3 teams compete for a World Series Championship. They go up against the 9th seeded Charlotte knights of season 8, a good team in their own right, but a team that didn't become mighty until a few seasons later.

The 4th seeded Durham Savages of season 1 were the highest winning team in the inaugural SW season, only to be ousted in the ALDS, and then move to Little Rock immediately following the season. They go up against the first NL team to win the World Series, the season 2 Texas Tittyballs, one of only 2 NL franchises to have a WS title.

In the 5/12 matchup, division rivals Cheyenne of season 9 and Fresno of season 10 do battle. The Chillipeppers of season 9 were the first AL West team to dethrone the KC Shuffle, while the Fresno Fire Dragons are the only other AL West team to win the WS - albeit 2 seasons & 1000 miles later.

Colorado Springs NL Championship team of season 11 takes the #3 seed, and goes up against one of two Charleston Rebel teams in this bracket - this one the season 6 team that lost to Kansas City in the ALCS.

The season 5 Charleston Rebels, the 11th seed in this bracket, also lost to the KC Shuffle in the ALCS. Their road to a championship is off to a difficult start in this tournament, as well, as their first opponent is the World Champion Polythene of season 4.

Two underachievers face off in the 7/10 matchup. The Texas Tittyballs of season 5, who were unable to make the NLCS, go up against the Colorado Springs AltiDUDES of season 6, also unable to make the NLCS.

And in the final matchup of the tournament, the Kansas City Shuffle get their 4th #1 or #2 seed in the tournament, this time the #2 seed goes to the season 8 version of their franchise; a team which tried, and failed, to reach a record 8th straight LCS. They go up against the worst team in the tournament, record-wise, the season 9 Raging Rhinos of Rochester, whose 81-81 record was mocked as undeserving by many when their playoff run began.

If everyone goes to the link above & clicks the "predict it!" link above the bracket, and fills out how they think the bracket should unfold, I'll use those suggestions in helping me determine the winners of all 63 games to be played.

The first two games will be played on Monday, March 1st.

Both will be from the Kansas City bracket. The first game will be the 5/12 matchup, pitting Kansas City against Colorado Springs. The second game will be the 4/13 matchup, which is Pawtucket vs Rochester. Who should win these games?
