And just like that, a #1 seed has fallen already. “What Lies Below” was cooler than the other side of the pillow (long live Stuart Scott), wiping out Mount Kelud in the data section. There was another upset in the photograph section, where
Venice swamped the Grand Canyon. In the other brackets, nearly all of the higher seeds crushed their lower-ranked opponents, making the TE organizers appear wise for a day. #4 seed Bermuda, in the event section, was the highest scorer in round 1, picking up
the mantle of small North Atlantic islands handed off by the 2013-14 champions, the Canary Islands.
Voting is now open for the second round of Tournament: Earth. The second round will close at 4pm EDT on Friday the 13th.
