A while back we asked you to cast a ballot to select some new players to join this year's Cubs of Yore Battle Royale.  We thank all of you that took part in the selection process and now I would like to show you the result of your time and effort.  Presenting the official COYBR 2010 bracket.  Click on it to see a larger, more readable version.

Half of this year's bracket features returning competitors from last year (all the odd number seeds) and the other half are newcomers to the Battle Royale this year (even numbers).  This year looks to be even more competitive than last year.  Rounding out the top seeds are last year's Final Four, Glenallen Hill, Keith Moreland, Steve Trout, and Dwight Smith.  They'll have a tough fight against the #2 seeds and leading vote-getters in last month's poll, Mark Grudzielanek, Bill Mueller, Matt Clement, and Rod Beck.  All in all this should be interesting to see how it plays out.

The Battle Royale will kick off tomorrow with the first round of matches in the Jose Cardenal Region.
