Fandom's Favorite Fursuit Fracas 2008

The second annual Fandom's Favorite Fursuit Fracas was held in 2008 and was again organized by Exile Huscoon and Rhett Foxcoon, along with newcomer Sarge Abernathy. The 2008 tournament included 295 nominated fursuits, spread out among 16 different regions. The regions were named after the 16 National Hockey League teams that participated in the 1973-74 NHL season.

For the first time, preliminary rounds were held to narrow down the 295 participants into a bracket of 256. These were held because the previous competition had simply filled the bracket with all of 176 of its contestants, leaving many blank spaces and several automatic advances to the second round. The preliminary rounds, like the main bracket, were randomly assigned.

The tournament had its first ever tie between Greifer and Junip Hyena during the final round of 16, leading them into a three-way fight with Beetlecat's RedXIII; this faceoff ended with Greifer taking the lead by 13 votes. Ultimately, Jäger would go on to defeat Greifer in the final round with a strong lead of over 100 votes to claim the title. Fan favourites Neo PanTyger and Takala rounded out the top four, with Takala remaining in the final four for the second year in a row.
