Fursuit Fracas founder foresees format fix

Furry fandom's foremost fursuit competition - the Fandom's Favorite Fursuit Fracas - may add a pool round prior to the knockout stage, according to organizer and co-founder Rhett Foxcoon.

The fursuit tourney, now entering its fourth year, has grown to become a popular feature among many fursuiters - though some maintain the event is little but a popularity contest.

Those who do enter are often disappointed; the initial knockout round eliminates almost half the competitors, leaving them little chance for consideration, especially if matched against a particularly well-known fursuiter.

The suggested change will guarantee a certain number of face-offs within each initial pool before a winner proceeds to the knockout stage. Reaction from group members has been positive, with the majority opting for at least two face-offs.
