We all know woody. If we all nerds, then woody is the kid that the nerds can call a nerd and get away with. He's put together some huge projects over the years. One of my favorites was his historical normalized dynasty which put every player in the context that they were playing during present day times. Fantastic read.
This is similar to his Colossal Tourney, where he took the greatest teams ever and matched them up in a NCAA-style tournament, winner take all. Sadly, the Colossal Tourney doesn't make this countdown. woody then opened it up for everyone, to pick their favorite teams from all time (minus the WS winners) and have them face off in a similar bracket. It took tons of planning, lots of detailing, and an enormous amount of stat tracking, and it's going on as scheduled, currently in it's second iteration (thank you crash!). It has a huge following though. Many board members through their favorite teams in to see how they stack up. It's a crazy tournament, let me tell you. woody groups and seeds them by record and has the two teams duel in a best of 20 format. 11 wins nets you a chance to move on.
Thanks woody. Your ideas get bigger and bigger.

Thanks for the votes guys, I am honored just to be a part of the top 10. And just so you know I don't wear a pocket protector while simming out the tourneys, but my glasses do have tape in the middle
