Dragonwagon Regional, First Round:

1 Yourhighness Morgan vs. 16 Cynammon Burns: Yourhighness, and not for illegal affiliations, but more the obvious that's what we all at some time or other call the little ones (see 7 Princess Perdue below). I like cinnamon, but not really Cynnamon.

8 Destinee Hooker vs. 9 U Nu: you've got to be kidding me! This is basically a slam dunk in the end for me, but I will still admit that U Nu would have won just about every other face off. A damn shame to see this have to happen in the 8-9 matchup rather than further down the road.

5 Alibaba Odd vs. 12 Jazzmen Guy: neither one really excites me, so Jazzmen Guy becomes the next victim of the winner below.

4 Phyre Quickly Burns vs. 13 Ottilia Eycleshimer: this was another toughie, as I like the practicality of a parental admonition for a name, but they lose points for the misspelling. Ottilia Eycleshimer? I'm still not sure how that's spelled, so Ms. (?) Eyclewhatever moves on.

3 Adrienne Cumbus vs. 14 Nature Johnson: no one fools with Nature, not even for a semi-funny/sick double entendre.

6 Pinckney Pinchback vs. 11 Joe Favorito: Favorito, sounds like a used car dealer already.

7 Princess Perdue vs. 10 Co-Eric Riley: already got one member of royalty, so Co-Eric, you're the next contestant on....

2 Outerbridge Horsey vs. 15 Leftonred Atanycorner: this is an example of the selection committee doing a poor job of seeding. Unless Outerbridge had to fight his/her way through a power conference, it's basically a pedestrian, albeit kind of odd, double-take name, but Leftonred Atanycorner is the easy upset winner here. I'll admit I've had a partiality to signs as names ever since my High School Mythology teacher, Mr. Ron Adams, told my class of an acquaintance (possibly apocryhpal) named Nosmo King.


Second Round:

1 Yourhighness Morgan vs. 8 Destinee Hooker: it must be Destinee.

12 Jazzmen Guy vs. 13 Ottilia Eycleshimer: hello again, Ottilia.

14 Nature Johnson vs. 11 Joe Favorito: Joe seems alright, though generally I prefer to see upsets.

10 Co-Eric Riley vs. 15 Leftonred Atanycorner: the 15 seed may be the Cinderella of the tourney so far as he/she/it dances on.


Sweet Sixteen:

8 Destinee Hooker vs. 13 Ottilia Eycleshimer: another easy win for the Hooker.

11 Joe Favorito vs. 15 Leftonred Atanycorner: ya gotta be better than alright to make it to the elite 8, and I'm giving it to Leftonred.

Elite Eight:

8 Destinee Hooker vs. 15 Leftonred Atanycorner: in the end Leftonred is a bit of a gimmick, not that they all aren't to some degree or other, but Destinee is clearly the thoroughbred of the region and moves on to the Final Four.
