Our random bracket challenge started Wednesday and continues this evening.
Voting wrapped up this morning in first-round matchups in the Dean Walters Region.
The higher seed won three of the fourth contests. The lone exception was No. 6 seed Packing Peanuts winning handily 72.7-27.3 percent over the No. 3 seed, Medical Cables.
In the other first-round pairings, No. 2 Angie Dickinson won 60.9-39.1 over No. 7 Venetian Blinds, No. 1 Sporks was a 57.7-42.3 winner over Refried Beans and No. 4 Ice-T won 63.6-36.4 over No. 5 Iced Tea.
Semifinal pairings in that region have Sporks vs. Ice-T and Angie Dickinson vs. Packing Peanuts.
But first we need to get through the other regions, starting with the Pat Frank Region.
