It's time! The 2013 C'ville Bar Madness tournament has officially kicked off! Over the next four weeks, you all will vote for all of your favorite Charlottesville bars to narrow down the field of 32 down to just one bar, which will be dubbed the King of the 'Ville.
Voting in Round One will close at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 28.
Vote early, but not often, in each of the following 16 matchups. Hey, this is UVA, right? Let's maintain our honor and integrity and keep it to just one vote for person. Any suspicious voting trends may cause immediate disqualification without due process, because the Committee is the sole dictator and seriously, get it together.
Here is your printable bracket featuring the Round One teams (PDF).
Without further ado, here are your Round One matchups! Get your votes in and leave your comments!
BLUE REGION

No. 8 Baja Bean vs. No. 9 Commonwealth Skybar |

No. 5 Michael's Bistro vs. No. 12 El Jaripeo |

No. 13 Fellini's #9 The original matchup was No. 4 Coupe's vs. No. 13 Fellini's, but Coupe's has withdrawn for undisclosed reasons. Rumors of steroid usage and recruiting violations have run rampant, but until the NCAA opens a formal investigation, the truth may never be known. Actually, the exact words were as follows: "We would prefer to be off altogether and would ask you do so. As a business owner it is frustrating when people use your name without asking prior permission. This is a promotional/marketing gig for your business. So, we're obliging and removing them from this feature. After all, we wouldn't want a bar to be connected in any manner whatsoever to anything related to fun. |

No. 14 Buffalo Wild Wings Trinity and Coupe's are owned by the same individual, which means that Trinity has withdrawn from this feature as well. We run this feature on this sports site because we believe in camaraderie among the University and Charlottesville residents. Trinity's demand not to participate is beyond our control. Again, the exact words were as follows: "We would prefer to be off altogether and would ask you do so. As a business owner it is frustrating when people use your name without asking prior permission. This is a promotional/marketing gig for your business. Congratulations to BW3s for advancing to the next round! Yeah we're just as surprised as you are. |
