Two teams of owls are ready to battle it out over the next day and a half to see which reigns supreme!
Rules are simple.
Team play is the name of the game. Each round, a new group of owls will compete for your upvotes. Sometimes you'll see 1v1, while other times it will be up to 6v6. Just click the up arrow for which team you feel put on the better show.
Every 2-3 hours or so another round will start. As long as the post title shows "ACTIVE" voting is still open. Once a round is over, I'll change the title to update the score.
If the match was close and fierce, 7 points will be awarded for a touchdown.
If it's a pretty easy win (difference of 10 percent-ish), 3 points will be given as a field goal.
Highest score wins!
Now meet the teams.

That's a whole bunch of classics, fan favorites from Owl of the Year, and also a bunch of newcomers ready to become your next favorite owl! There's some really good ones that I can't believe we haven't covered yet!
Time to begin!
The KC Screech have won the coin toss and will be receiving the kickoff!
We're starting off hot, with a big 6v6 match! Upvote the best team now, and check back soon for the next match!
Yes! Let's gooooooooo! Omg where did you get those team mascot stickers? Those are great.
Nice to see that both teams are fielding a complete psychopath in addition to the classics. Yes, I'm looking at you, Pel's Fishing Owl and Boreal Owl 🤨
They are the Facebook Messenger AI generated stickers! It doesn't get every type of owl, but more than I'd imagined it would.
Football is a bit tricky as it flips back and forth between egg shaped football and round. These prompts are along the lines of "snowy owl in white American football jersey with red trim holding American football.". Then I just screenshot them so I can post them in here.
Gotta have a few wild ones on each side! I liked that Boreal Owl. They normally look so chill, so this one was funny. Thought it was a good way to start off.
It's here! And immediately a BFO showoff! KC Screech immediately comes in with an all-star lineup (Buffy, Snowy, Flammy, WFS), but SF Bay Owl has such cute ones, as well as the OG BFO. This will be an interesting first match!
Yes, this round ended up very nice. I randomized the teams on a grid, and for each round I rolled a 6 sided die to get number of players, and then a 12 sided die to choose the participants.
I think you get to see each owl at least 3 times, I may have ensured that was the case, but otherwise I tried to keep my own influence out of it. So some will be up 2 matches in a row, but everyone gets about equal play.
Fixed! Hope that doesn't screw up anyone. All my sticker colors are backwards now though, it only lets you make a few a day, so I may be screwed there.
My power went out right before I started this today, so I've been thrown off on my plans!
It's always fun to see when you guys rally behind one of the newcomers instead of the old standbys. Things like Barn Owl getting knocked out of Owl of the Year early on and Flammy and Buffy coming out of nowhere.
