Re: Eyebrow Bracket - Round 1!

[(Anonymous)]

Round one voting is up here on google forms:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1UXFfOXEBMdSQP_iP8uGjedywF2_Ayks25uXYytW0bpE/viewform

Each matchup is on its own page. You'll need to click through each page and hit submit at the end, but you don't have to vote on every matchup. I used the team headshots for each candidate--for Hilary Knight, I had to use one of her Team USA headshots, and for Erica Kromm I used one of her photos for the Inferno (It's a bit smaller than some of the others, so sorry about that).

I was thinking of having voting for each round open for 3-4 days, with this round ending at 12pm EST on Monday, May 23rd. If you think more/less time would work better, let me know! Also, feel free to campaign for your chosen candidates (i.e. link all the pictures/videos/gifs that you can find) in the comments!

Wilson vs Pirri was so hard. So hard! Most of the others had a clear cut winner for me, but that one was a struggle. Though the universe is also unfair in taking either Monahan or Price down in the first round.

Wow - that's a really easy way for me to compare the eyebrows. Thanks for putting it together.

OP You're welcome! Glad to hear the format works!

Choosing between Saad and Fabbri was so much harder than I expected it to be.

Re: Eyebrow Bracket - Round 1!

[(Anonymous)]

Same here. I had to go search some other pics to get to a decision.

RNH vs Tuuka?? Nooooo! That's like asking which one of my children I love most.

Thank you for taking the time to organize all of this!

Re: Eyebrow Bracket - Round 1!

This is awesome, deker. Thank you so much for putting it together and organizing it. And someone asked me about a stat about arch quality, so we should probably come up with a brow-zone-qual or something.

Re: Eyebrow Bracket - Round 1!

[(Anonymous)]

OP I actually considered including stats like BDO and Brow-REL (I think that was one that someone came up with in one of those threads), but then I got lazy, haha. If someone feels like doing the eyebrow equivalent of HERO charts or making wacky graphs, that could be fun...

Re: Eyebrow Bracket - Round 1!

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, that was me. Maybe like a hextally chart or a BAR (brows above replacement) stat? I'm not sure I have to chops to mock up stats, but maybe the nonnie who put together the random pairings generator could put something together that would, IDK, compare brows based on silly metrics? (I mean, the serious version would be something involving Matlab to do image recognition for arch quality, but like, wow, do I not have time for that, lol.)

The results from Round 1 are officially in! There were a few close races, with Fabbri, TVR, and Josi edging out Saad, Tanev, and Barrie, and a few blow outs (sorry Chris Wideman and Drew Miller. I'm sure you'll come back stronger next year!) There were also a few players who seemed like favorites going into the first round who got knocked out by other heavy weights. Alas, poor Rask, Monahan, and Sceviour. Your brows will be missed!

Thanks to everyone who voted and commented! I'll have the next round of voting up either today or tomorrow.

Voting results are up here:

Aww, poor Neuvy. :( Also, much as I love him, Adam Henrique's BDO combined with Dylan Strome's AWFUL roster photo must have won Rico that matchup.

Re: Eyebrow Bracket - Round 1! - Results

[(Anonymous)]

Still laughing when I think about his photo. It did his usually good eyebrows no favours, that weird smile was too distracting, lol.

Re: Eyebrow Bracket - Round 1! - Results

[(Anonymous)]

Part of me wonders if whoever was taking the photos didn't see his serial killer stare in his combine photo and was like, "Okay, why don't we try smiling?" The results of which were obviously horrible.

Oh my god lol! This is indeed very serial killer-y. Although I feel him because I look like a convict in my ID photo.

Sceviour :(( HE IS THE CHAMPION IN MY HEART

Re: Eyebrow Bracket - Round 1! - Results

[(Anonymous)]

MINE TOO!

Something this poll already did, is make me aware of his excellent eyebrows, so thank you for that alone, OP!

Re: Eyebrow Bracket - Round 1! - Results

I'm surprised so many of these were blowouts. I thought some of the races would be much closer than they ended up being.
