FFFF 2014 Regional Openers Round 1

[ffffadmin]

Hopefully everyone had fun in the previous month of voting for those various titles and requested matchups. Now it's down to business, and it is up to you voters in the community to determine who should advance further in the Tournament and who will have to wait for the next Fracas. Once again, please consider the following when casting your votes:

• Appearance. This goes well beyond which fursuit is cuter or sexier than the other. Was it well-constructed? Can you see the performer inside? Is there a unique physical attribute associated with the fursuit? Does it look good or out-of-place?
• Individuality. With so many fursuits becoming more and more visible and widespread, it gets harder and harder to stand out from the crowd! Does this fursuit stand out? Is he or she unique? Can you forget the character's name, but everyone knows who you are talking about anyway? Or better yet, are you unable to forget the character's name?
• Performance and Character. There are many wonderful fursuits out there that just get lost in the crowd because the performer has the personality of a pet rock. There are some fursuits that aren't eye-catching in photos but just jump to life when active and moving. Consider the pose of the picture, some of the action in the alternate pictures, or the activities in the video submissions, and think about the effort the wearer takes to bring the character of the fursuit to life.

As a reminder, all polls will have radio-button questions, meaning you may not choose more than one fursuit in the match-up. The only exceptions will be check-box questions for any three-way (or four-way) face-offs generated by ties in the previous round.

All right, here are the first 13 matchups to kick off the Elimination Bracket. Good luck to all, and have fun everyone!
