Last year, I put together a fantasy snowball tournament with the top 16 pitchers in the league. For four days, the 16 pitchers battled in a single elimination tournament until one pitcher came out victorious. Dennis Pearson ended up taking the crown. This year, we will once again have 16 pitchers facing off, but it won’t be a single elimination format. It won’t be double elimination either, it will be a triple elimination bracket.
Just like last year I seeded the top 16 pitchers in the league, with each team having to have at least one representative. Sorry to guys like Crozier, Castle, and Hewlett. You obviously deserve to be on here more than Jason Matt, but Belgian needed a representative. Enjoy the craziness!

With four participants left, Austin Bischoff proved why he is the #1 seed. Austin sent Hatt to the 2nd Loser’s Bracket and then beat Skinner twice to also send him there as well. Hatt then eliminated Constanti, but was then quickly eliminated by Skinner. In the Championship, Austin will face off against Skinner for the 4th and maybe 5th time in the tournament. Skinner will need to beat Austin twice since he only has one loss.

Just when you thought Skinner was out of it, he defeats Austin twice to take down the 2nd Annual Fantasy Snowball Tournament. Skinner went 7-2, and defeated some of the best pitchers throughout the tournament in upset fashion. Congrats to the El Diablos ace on a very fun and exciting tournament victory!
