Q-Seattle Events: Tacky Tourist Clubs

Sure, the voting process for our gay bars tourney in the regular season started out confusing. But that's the nature of regular seasons in any sport isn't it?

Now comes the time for the tournament. The first round has started. (Because they slow down loading of these pages, we won't try to copy the voting controls to this page this time around. Just click over to cast your votes.)

Here's a roundup of the exciting matchups that we see in this must-see first round. (Insert sound of martial music of some sort here.)

In Bracket #1 Dancing at The Cuff faces off against the winner of our ringer conference, Seagulls. Don't become complacent about this one. Hyperactive critters have shown themselves to be remakably strong players in other Seattle polls.

Bracket #2 features two strong nightlife contenders, Games at Madison Pub vs. Karaoke at The Crescent. Both have shown themselves to be tough teams during the regular season and conference playoffs.

A fascinating matchup is offered by Bracket #3 where Drag at Rebar squares off with Leather/Levi at The Eagle. The refs will have to be on their toes for this one. Expect some claws.

The Cuff makes the second of its three appearances in Bracket #4 where its After hours faces another double winner, Madison Pub, this time for its Wi-fi.

Bracket #5 should offer perhaps the quietest (but certainly the smokiest) of the first-round matchups. Two playoff winners will compete when Patio at CC Attle's tips off against Dining at Broadway Grill.

The Cuff makes its final appearance in Bracket #6 where After hours at The Cuff meets Coffee at Metropolitain.

Good luck to all. Let the games begin. This round will continue through the end of February. Bracket winners face off against each other in March. Warning: There will be a special wild-card contestant thrown in for the third round.
