Oh My Word!!! This is seriously turning out to be such an interesting round. A few surprising results, and some matches are extremely tight.

This Deep River vs Avon fixture is so tight and it is going back and fourth. Avon is ahed by one, but it could easily go either way.

Barkhamsted vs Putnam, North Branford vs New Fairfield, Portland vs Manchester, Lyme vs Newtown, Oxford vs Westbrook, New London vs Hebron, Monroe vs Marlborough, Easton vs Danbury, Haddam vs Canton, East Hampton vs Rocky Hill, Ellington vs Windsor, and Brookfield vs Seymour, are all extremely tight. Some were expected to be tight, but honestly I did not expect all those to really be so close.

Lyme vs Newtown still surprises me, and once again, I bet that most people think of Old Lyme or East Lyme when they see Lyme and forget that Lyme is actually just a complete rural inland town with not much there other than forests. It does make things really interesting though, and it makes Lyme always overachieve!

So here are mine. Now the tourney's getting fun.


Group A

Ridgefield vs Sharon - This is actually really tough. Both are upscale mountain NY border towns. This vote is if you want (much) better mountains or (much) better NYC access.

Ellington vs Windsor - tough, but also relatively apathetic about this one.

Waterford vs Cromwell - Coastal. Harkness is stunning.

Harwinton vs Trumbull - This one's for you CTArtist


Group B

Westport vs Prospect - Sorry prospect

East Hampton vs Rocky Hill - both are kinda meh inland towns, but at least East Hampton is cute. Rocky Hill is I-91 suburbia.

Darien vs Morris - Sorry Steve, can't vote for the snobbiest town in the state.

Brooklyn vs Old Lyme - Coastline always wins


Group C

West Hartford vs North Canaan - probably the best inland town

Watertown vs Hartford - Watertown is kinda run down itself, so at least Hartford has larger city amenities and the CT Capitol

Brookfield vs Seymour - Lake Candlewood

Haddam vs Canton - Lower CT River is almost coastal


Group D

Farmington vs Bethany - Tough, but Farmington eeks out in my mind

Suffield vs Woodstock - I needed a minute to think about this one. Two absolutely beautiful MA border towns. I'll give the vote to Suffield simply because, while Woodstock's rural beauty is similar to many NW/NE corner towns, Suffield has a very "farm-like" feel that's unique in CT.

Orange vs Bethlehem - Orange's days of trying to blame the ugliest stretch of Route 1 in the state on Milford are over.

Ledyard vs Essex - The ultimate inland town, but calling it that feels like cheating


Group E

Litchfield vs New Hartford - I know this is unpopular, but a lot of towns have cute greens.

Easton vs Danbury - Sorry Hat City. I just don't see the appeal.

Southington vs Clinton - Coastline. That's it.

Salisbury vs Southbury - reminds me of the Ridgefield vs Sharon fixture above.


Group F

Glastonbury vs East Haddam - Both river towns, better access to other things

Colchester vs Cheshire - better proximity

Bethel vs South Windsor - pretty apathetic about this one

Bridgeport vs Washington - gotta have some neighborly love.


Group G

Guilford vs New Britain - Gee, what a tough one

Thomaston vs New Canaan - Normally I wouldn't vote for a town like this, but this time I gotta give it to em.

Middlebury vs East Granby - This may be the most apathetic mixture for me this whole tourney.

Deep River vs Avon - southern CT for the win!


Group H

Greenwich vs Cornwall - Skiing

Chester vs New Milford - This one's tough.

Norwalk vs Salem - this one's not

Plainville vs Redding - if you're going to be inland, be pretty


Group I

Stonington vs Wolcott - Extremely difficult, had to think about all that Stonington has to offer.

West Haven vs Newington - WH's beaches are actually gorgeous. VERY slept on.

Monroe vs Marlborough - tough, but I'll give it to the underdog

Canaan vs Woodbury - changed my mind on this one


Group J

Branford vs Montville - I know others have said this, but Branford (despite doing well compared to the rest of the state) is one of the most underperforming towns. Its natural beauty is STUNNING. Due to it being so wide (7 miles) it's by far the closest BGM town to New Haven. Really nice balance of urban, suburban, and rural. It's got my vote unless it faces Fairfield or maybe New Haven itself.

Goshen vs Sherman - Smallest town in FFC deserves a shot

Woodbridge vs Killingworth - which leafy NH suburb do you like more?

Tolland vs Simsbury - See above, but for Hartford instead


Group K

New Haven vs Norfolk - Best city vs average Litchfield County town.

New London vs Hebron - Coastal, plus it's actually getting much nicer as of recent (primarily because it's coastal).

Shelton vs Ashford - Quiet corner represent

North Stonington vs Kent - my love for NS ends here


Group L

Madison vs Hartland - EZ

Wethersfield vs Mansfield - another candidate for best inland town

Oxford vs Westbrook - coastal, even though this is probably the most boring coastline in the whole state. If you couldn't tell... I love the beach!

Lyme vs Newtown - I'm not guilty of the name swap... I've actually been to Lyme proper. I like it.


Group M

East Lyme vs Durham - Even better than Lyme. Rocky Neck is STUNNING. Niantic reminds me of Southport/Stonington. What's not to love? Millstone's on the Waterford side, so that can't detract from EL.

Groton vs Roxbury - People sleep on Groton. Go to any one of its 5 coastal points (Avery, Bluff, Groton Long, Noank, and West Mystic) and you'll see what I mean.

Weston vs Burlington - Proximity to Fairfield

Columbia vs Middletown - A little hesitant for this one, but yea.


Group N

Fairfield vs Middlefield - HAHAHA. Did I fool you? My vote's obviously for my hometown. Gotta keep people on their toes though!

North Haven vs Coventry - Beautiful

Wilton vs Warren - Wilton is surprisingly nice.

Lisbon vs Stamford - I gotta give it to "The city that works." Because it does. It's an example for the rest of the CT majors to follow.


Group O

Old Saybrook vs Killingly - Killingly is SO PRETTY, and I have beef with OS, but I have to vote for the coastline. It's just too nice.

Griswold vs Stratford - Short Beach/ Audubon Coastal Center is nice

Portland vs Manchester - Just an overall nicer town

Granby vs Wallingford - Wallingford is practical, which makes me want to vote for it, but it could be prettier.


Group P

Milford vs Scotland - Milford deserved the shutout.

Windham vs Bridgewater - I changed my mind on this one. The green is surprisingly nice.

Barkhamsted vs Putnam - I've been here. That's about it.

North Branford vs New Fairfield - Might be the runt of BGM, but that's still 99 times better than Litchfield County IMO.

Hey Guys,

I know we all love to joke and have fun and that is a great thing. However, as the tournament organizer, and the person who has to record and count all the votes, I just would like to ask you all to: PLEASE make sure you are CLEAR when you vote.

Please don’t post joke votes, or bold the other town to fool me and then say that your vote is actually for the other town. Also, I won’t always understand what you mean if you say other names for towns that they might be known by. For example, Greenwich is known as Beverly Hills East. It’s ok to add flare, have fun, and say these things, but just please make sure you’re clear.

Like let’s say you’re voting for Greenwich. You can say Beverly Hills East, but also make sure you either bold Greenwich or say Greenwich as well.

I’m so sorry if I’m getting a little picky, and I am all for having fun! That’s the whole point of the tournament! However, as the organizer that has to count all the votes, it can just really be confusing to me if you go too far and aren’t clear.

Have Fun, but Please just make sure you’re as clear as possible with your votes!
