Many thanks for participating, zephion! :)

And I'm enjoying running it so much, YWS Cup II will probably follow quickly after the conclusion of this one. Hopefully I can convince even more people to participate. I'm envisaging leagues and play-offs and a YWS Superb Owl.

You'll all see in a second ...

Brackets!
http://betterbracketmaker.com/#!/3320088935115

I ignored the entire right half when making that, so pretend that brackets have a pyramid instead of an hourglass shape. Also, to get the bracket to work right, the first round isn't entirely correct for everyone. It lists some people as having byes when they really didn't, and some people were left off.

Edit

The bracket is for reviewing the results of past events and exists purely for entertainment value only! It should not be used as a predictor of potential match-ups.

Haha, thanks Nate!

I hadn't done a bracket or anything because of the weird way some people have got through and a bunch of people dropped out too!

Also I didn't use them because I'm doing a new draw each round.

I wondered why we put villains in our stories when we have plenty of them in real life; then I realized that maybe we wanted stories where the good guy wins.
