Fandom's Favorite Fursuit Fracas 2010

The fourth annual Fandom's Favorite Fursuit Fracas was organized by Rhett Foxcoon, Sarge Abernathy, Seddel Cougar and Stevie Maxwell. The 2010 tournament was a multi-stage tournament including 384 nominated fursuits. The fursuits entered a double elimination first stage to trim the field to 192 remaining competitors that filled the familiar single elimination bracket. Groups in the double-elimination portion were simply referred to by letter, while regions in the single-elimination bracket were named after the 16 teams of the current National League. Qualifiers from the Double-Elimination Portion were seeded into the Bracket of 193, and the winners of the 16 regions advanced into the Championship Bracket.

Much like prior editions, the tournament had its share of trials and tribulations. Photo updates and server glitches caused a couple of matches to be extended or even re-run. During the Quarterfinals of the Reds Region, an account hacker withdrew Dakkota Wolf from the tournament ; Shay bowed out as well to keep things fair while Taren agreed to fill in their vacated spot for the Semifinals.

Fan-favorite Takala was entered this year but failed to make the Final 16. Frisbee reached the finals for the second year in a row, but was denied the championship again by the eventual winner Flux. Greifer and Clementine rounded out the top four, with the latter winning the third place poll and earning the privilege of pieing the former at the next Doo Dah Parade.
