What lol
Pictured is a popular bracket amongst American sports fans, where they fill out predictions for winning teams, each time the matchup winnowing down the remaining teams by removing the loser.
This isn't really much different than ranked-choice voting, except that 'preference' rather than 'prediction' is used.
Despite this, some people insist that ranked choice voting couldn't work in the US because it's 'too complex' for American voters, many of whom yearly do this similar and much more expansive process for the sheer fun of it.
