We started with 64 metros... the people have voted... and now we're down to our final two!
Objective
Identify CD's most popular American metropolitan area of 2019 through a knockout-tournament-style voting system.
Methods- Identify the 64 most populous metro areas in the USA
- Subjectively assign each metro area to one of four geographic regions (East, South, Midwest, and West)
- Seed each metro area within each region from 1 to 16 (based on current population) and create a tournament bracket similar to what the NCAA uses for its annual men's and women's basketball tournaments
