Who'd You Rather: Second Round Changes

AnonymousJim

Scanning the room from the back

I thought I'd make this separate from the very, very, very long Babermetrics post to make this clear.

A few changes for the second round of the bracket:

1. You've said you like these ladies, so we're going to give you more of them. Each woman will get an additional picture and clip for the second round. As we get deeper in the bracket, we need more research material to make better comparisons.

2. NEITHER is no longer a choice in the second round. The tribe has spoken and NEITHER never won in 32 chances in the first round. If you don't like either candidate in a matchup, just don't vote.

3. Allow me to reiterate: BOTH is not, and will not ever, be a choice. Don't waste your & my time.

4. I won't reveal third-round matchups in any region until all second-round matchups in that region are done. I have a reason for this, but I'm not going to explain it.

5. Allow me to once again recommend that, once a thread is closed, you don't comment on it anymore.

Someone suggested we number the matchups so we know which one is the most-recent. I like the idea, but I don't feel the need to confuse folks by adding numbers (which runs completely counter to my Babermetrics post, but whatever).

We'll probably start the second round tomorrow night.

It makes it confusing for folks when you're unearthing old threads and bumping them to the top of the board, so my simple answer is: Please don't do that. If you do, I'll probably just bump the current one, anyway.
