The North American City Flags Tournament starts now!
Today our first match has Group Cleat of the West Division: Salt Lake City UT, Golden CO, St. George UT, and Salem OR
The #CityFlagsTourney22 is here to promote creating great city flags. I'm calling for San Francisco to adopt a great flag, like the @SFfogGoldFlag
Every vote counts. The more votes each flag gets, the higher the seeding in Round 2
Half way through the vote... it's looking neck and neck between St. George's sun cog, and Salem's cherry blossom, but don't ignore Salt Lake! #CityFlagsTourney22

The #CityFlagsTourney22 is here to promote creating great city flags, much like Columbia, Durham, Gettysburgh and Kingston have done arleady.
We're calling for San Francisco to adopt a great flag, like the @SFfogGoldFlag which is inspired by the original 1900 version city flag
The line ups for the North American City Flags Tournament are ready. Flags are from USA and Canada, and are all adopted to the best of my knowledge from 2000 to present. There's one from 1999 in one division, but I make the rules, so I can allow exceptions.
I've selected 80 of the best and pretty good flags since 2000 (with the one from 1999). An 80 flag full elimination setup means a lot of good flags may get eliminated too early, so I'm using a bit of the World Cup process with round-robins and elimination rounds.
City flags are placed in four geographic divisions:
In case folks didn't realize, many African countries are REALLY big. 1. Nigeria over USA 2. California in Africa
Also, India is huge. It would stretch from the tip of Florida up to Nova Scotia, and almost to Newfoundland! 😮
And as always, DO NOT underestimate the amount of ice in Antarctica and Greenland. Combined, they are bigger than USA, Mexico and the rest of Central America combined.
