Previous (Unplayed) Tournaments
The 2020 tournament was the first official Ultimate Crypto tournament. However, for fun, I went back and thanks to the Wayback Machine, imagined what the brackets for previous tournaments would have looked like, going back all the way to 2014!
It was very enjoyable to look back and see the progress of coins through the years, see the quirks in different tournaments, and reminisce about coins that were once here, but are no longer.
For example, Dogecoin would have been a 2 seed in 2014. Stellar a 3 seed in 2015. Just a bit of trivia for you. Enjoy the past crypto tournaments, had they existed.
