Cryptotaxonomy Tournament: Results of Round 1

The two biggest landslides were Homo sapiens cognatus (bigfoot) beating Gigantes (giants) (60.35%, 137 to 90 votes) and Plesiosauria (lake monsters) beating Sauropoda (Mokele-mbembe) (76.84%, 302 to 91 votes).

The two closest matches were Lepus antilocapra (jackalopes) beating Tetrao lepus pseudo-hybridus rarissimus L (skvader) (57.51%, 333 to 246 votes), and Unicornis beating Pegasus (53.6%, 290 to 335 votes).

Had those two close matches tied, I would have advanced the Wolpertinger and the Alicorn respectively.

Round 2 starts today!
