There are 3 brackets:
- Freedom,
- Independence,
- Liberty
We have eliminated two states - not because we don't want to go there, not because we don't love them but because we had to eliminate two to make the brackets work. And, being realistic, it would be tough for us to go to Hawaii or Alaska. (sigh. Okay, I'm over it. Let's move on.) The winner will be decided when each bracket has one state standing. Those three states will battle it out for the title of Taste of USA 2009 Champion! The final vote is scheduled for May 29th.
The states have been seeded so that states that visit Highlowaha the most are not competing until later rounds... if another state doesn't knock them out first. There will be 3 polls on the side bar Monday through Friday, one for each bracket.
