Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round Lower Bracket!

Each game in the lower bracket is still seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools! Every game in the lower bracket has already been defeated by another game in a 1-on-1 poll to get to this point. This is their chance to claw their way back into the main event... but the stakes are high. The games that lose in these polls are out of the tournament for good! The games that survive will face the next crop of upper bracket losers in the next round.

Polls are updated weekly, typically on Saturday... or Sunday or Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!

HOW TO VOTE

This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances, so don't get complacent!

While I'd love to vote for Harvest Moon here, as a progenitor of the genre, it certainly could be better as a standalone game (I'm not sure how long I could bear to play it now). I've heard good things about SPF2, so I'll plan to abstain here.

I like the Farm Life genre, but every game in it is annoying to me in some way. Original HM incentivizes mass busy-work, has some arbitrary tool-gates and could use more crop variety. Days are nice and snappy, though. Rune Factory 4 gets close to perfect.. but these games really need some kind of speed-up (or "wait until") option. In a typical RF day, I go to bed at 11 AM at the latest.
