Six Flags- 13 Parks - 1 Champion

Inspired by the NCAA tournament, here is a new game involving all 13 Six Flags parks (not individual waterparks)

Alright guys so heres how it works:
The game will use a bracket similar to the one used in the NCAA tournament and in any competitive sports playoffs. I have attached a bracket that I had made for this game. The 13 parks are split into 2 divisions. The "West Division" of the bracket is made up of 7 parks from the "Western" part of the US (basically everything to the left of the curvy line on my paper and not on the East coast) and the "East Division" is made up of 6 teams located along the East coast.

Ok, so heres how advancing to the next round will work. To start, SFMM, SFGADV, and SFNE have received 1st round "byes" because they are the highest seeds and because of the uneven number of parks. The opening round will consist of 10 parks. Of those 10 parks, 5 will advance. The next round will have 8 parks. Of those 8 parks, 4 will advance. The next round will have 4 parks, of which 2 will advance to the final where 1 park will be crowned champion. (If you are confused, please see the bracket posted below) An updated bracket will be posted every week on Monday. The game is anticipated to last approximately 4 weeks.

To decide which team moves on to the next round you guys will vote. Whichever park has more votes will advance. To cast your vote, just comment your selection. If there happens to be a tie, I will do a 3 vote tiebreaker. Basically the first 3 people who responds votes will be used and which ever park has 2/3 or 3/3 votes will advance.

Timeline for Voting:
Round 1- 1 week from time of post
Round 2- 1 week from time of post
Round 3- 1 week from time of post
Round 4- 1 week from time of post

The Seeding are as follows:
WEST
1. SFMM
2. SFOT
3. SFGAm
4. SFFT
5. SFStL
6. SFDK
7. SFM

EAST
1. GADV
2. SFNE
3. SFOG
4. SFA
5. TGE
6. La Ronde

THIS IS IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT BIAS! Do not vote for SFNE just because its your home park..or GADV because you love El Toro! Seriously take into account multiple aspects so the ultimate park becomes champion. Remember-take into consideration cleanliness, operations, etc...Not just if the park has thrill rides or not. Feel free to ask any questions. Happy playing!

Let the game begin!

EDIT: At the moment it won't let me attach the bracket to this post because the quota for attachment has been reached apparently.. so here it is on my photobucket:
<a class="postlink" href="http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/greatescapelover/media/img002_zps8b47e100.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/great ... sort=3&o=0</a>

EDIT 2: I've decided that when we get down to the final 2 parks, the voting will be completely anonymous to crown the champion. You votes will be privately messaged to me on here so that way we avoid being bias.

Until Next Sunday you are now voting on:
SFM vs. SFDK
SFGAM vs. SFFT
SFOT vs. SFStL
TGE vs. La Ronde
SFOG vs. SFA

Voting for Round 1 ends at 5:45 on Sunday April 14th!!

Anyone feel free to post explanations!

SFGAm - this one was hard but GAm is the best in the chain.
SFOT - one of the best in the chain
TGE - La Ronde is a dump.
SFOG

Ill take your votes for TGE and SFA but if you want to vote for the other matchups youll have to repost.
