Where is everybody? What happened to all the voters from the previous tournaments? I feel like we're missing quite a few regulars.

We have got 19 voters so far, which is great! These are the number of voters that we had for just Round 1 in the past tournaments.

2016: 16 voters
2018: 22 voters
2020: 21 voters
2022: 19 voters (as of now)

So, I am hoping that we can get 4 more voters before deadline so we can break the record! I'd say we're in a good place because we still have three more days until deadline! Let's hope we can get at least 4 more, and possibly even more!

1. Sharon 9-9 East Haven
2. Berlin 8-8 Ledyard
3. Hampton 7-7 Montville
4. East Hartford 8-8 Lisbon

Whoops, I'm so sorry for not responding until now! I also love seeing my name on here, the one forum where I'm truly C-D famous...


Group A : I predict Ridgefield wins.

Note: Ridgefield, Ellington, Windsor, Waterford, Cromwell, and Trumbull, will start in Round 2.

Sharon vs East Haven - I love the shoreline, but don't like East Haven. Sharon gets my vote!

Harwinton vs Derby - not this enthusiastic bout this matchup.


Group B : I predict Westport wins.

Note: Westport, Eats Hampton, Rocky Hill, Darien, and Old Lyme, will start in Round 2.

Andover vs Prospect - I barely know anything about these two admiddetly.

Winchester vs Morris - Morris is nicer

Bristol vs Brooklyn - Lake Compounce!


Group C : I predict WeHa wins

Note: West Hartford, Watertown, Hartford, Brookfield, Seymour, and Canton, will start in Round 2.

North Canaan vs Franklin - This is a town I've actually gotten to drive through recently. Very pretty and farm rural, which is unique in CT (more towns are woods-like)

Thompson vs Haddam - Another town I've gotten to know recently; I have to give it to the NE corner!


Group D : I predict Essex wins. Maybe Farmington - this one is tough.

Note: Farmington, Suffield, Woodstock, Orange, and Essex, will start in Round 2.

Sterling vs Bethany - closer to more

Meriden vs Bethlehem - hands down

Berlin vs Ledyard - I have southern CT bias


Group E : Should be pretty easy for Litchfield

Note: Litchfield, Easton, Danbury, Southington, and Southbury, will start in Round 2.

Bolton vs New Hartford - summer camps and ski sundown

Preston vs Clinton - Shoreline

Salisbury vs Plainfield - BY FAR the most mountainous town in CT


Group F : Tough to predict who wins between Glastonbury and Washington (not Chesire). People are sleeping on Washington.

Note: Glastonbury, Colchester, Cheshire, Bethel, South Windsor, and Washington, will start in Round 2.

Colebrook vs East Haddam - I'll give Litchfield County a good showing this run

Bridgeport vs Vernon - When Steelpointe is done this will really begin to solidify BPT's rise (not saying it isn't already). Just wait. BPT will regain status as a critically important city in CT


Group G : Guilford. Probably going to win it all.

Note: Guilford, Thomaston, New Canaan, Middlebury, East Granby, and Avon, will start in Round 2.

New Britain vs Willington - A tough one, but I don't know much about each.

Deep River vs Bozrah - Sorry, but Bozrah isn't too interesting.


Group H : Norwalk wins.

Note: Greenwich, Chester, New Milford, Norwalk, and Redding, will start in Round 2.

Canterbury vs Cornwall - Mohawk

Salem vs Pomfret - Rte 169 is gorgeous

Plainville vs Naugatuck - very apathetic about this one, although route 8 through southern naugatuck is nice. Also the only town in CT that kept its native american name.


Group I

Note: Stonington, West Haven, Newington, Monroe, Marlborough, and Woodbury, will start in Round 2.

Lebanon vs Wolcott

Canaan vs Voluntown


Group J : Branford wins. Honestly it's underrated, even though it's already popular. Like it should be a favorite to win.

Note: Branford, Goshen, Sherman, Woodbridge, and Simsbury, will start in Round 2.

Hampton vs Montville - mohegan sun

Waterbury vs Killingworth - Well, that was easy.

Tolland vs Stafford - these two are nearly identical. I've spent more time in Stafford.


Group K : New Haven wins (possibly the whole thing). I'm surprised NL got a bye!

Note: New Haven, New London, Hebron, Shelton, and Kent, will start in Round 2.

Norfolk vs East Windsor - Prettier

Eastford vs Ashford - These two are so similar I went to random.org and did a coin flip. Just note that atomic decay had an impact on voting this year.

North Stonington vs Hamden - Another slam dunk


Group L : Madison wins, quite possibly the whole thing.

Note: Madison, Wethersfield, Mansfield, Oxford, Westbrook, and Newtown, will start in Round 2.

Hartland vs Norwich - very pretty

Lyme vs Torrington - Sorry Torrington


Group M : Very tough between East Lyme and Weston to tell who wins. Middletown could show up.

Note: East Lyme, Groton, Roxbury, Weston, and Middletown, will start in Round 2.

Durham vs Beacon Falls - I love the Rte 8 stretch through here

Chaplin vs Burlington - I've seen a lot more of the quiet corner recently. Very underrated.

Columbia vs Somers - I've actually been here, so there's that.


Group N :

Note: Fairfield, North Haven, Coventry, Wilton, Warren, and Stamford, will start in Round 2.

Middlefield vs Enfield - Sorry Enfield. I don't like it.

East Hartford vs Lisbon - Sorry East Hartford. Kinda like Enfield.


Group O : Old Saybrook, my arch-enemy in the town tourney, wins the day here.

Note: Old Saybrook, Griswold, Stratford, Portland, and Wallingford, will start in Round 2.

Union vs Killingly - this is actually really tough. Both northeast corner towns with beautiful lake state parks, but Mashapaug is just something else.

Plymouth vs Manchester - Nice stopover on I-84 and Wickham Park.

Granby vs Windsor Locks - Prettier


Group P : I agree. Milford gets a cakewalk.

Note: Milford, Windham, Bridgewater, Barkhamsted, and New Fairfield, will start in Round 2.

Bloomfield vs Scotland - I know almost nothing about either, but that's a great name.

Sprague vs Putnam - Fun fact: this is the least famous town in CT (although with me saying that it might change).

North Branford vs Ansonia - Oh gee, a tough one. BGM town? I'm in.

Honestly, I feel that most people find this fixture pretty apathetic, but it was tough for me as well. I do love the quiet corner around Tolland and Windham Counties. Killingly is pretty interesting, but Union really struck me because it is very Forest oriented, and only just over 800 people living there (smallest town in the whole state). I feel Union is just a very special town and gem that most people really overlook and don't know much about.

I'll never forget when one user on here told me that he couldn't take my opinions seriously at all, after I chose Union over Roxbury in the 2018 tournament. It made me laugh so hard.

.
Foxwoods and a rehab vs Sleeping Giant, Quinnipiac College, and Proximity to New Haven. Hamden blocks your dunk attempt and starts a fast break in the other direction

Hamden and Beacon Falls will not even progress this round unless a spectacular amount of voters come in and vote between now and deadline which is Saturday. Those two towns are far behind and on the verge of getting eliminated this round.
