For owls that are superb.

founded 1 year ago

Welcome to the Superbowl²!

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.

For the San Franciscowl Bay Owls:

  • Pel's Fishing Owl
  • Rusty Barred Owl
  • Eastern Screech Owl
  • Flammulated Owl
  • African Wood Owl
  • Ural Owl
  • Buffy Fish Owl
  • Sooty Owl
  • Pharaoh Eagle Owl
  • Magellanic Horned Owl
  • Snowy Owl
  • White Faced Scops

And the lineup for the Kansas City Screech is:

  • Christmas Boobook
  • Chestnut Backed Owl
  • Spotted Wood Owl
  • Buff Fronted Owl
  • Cloud Forest Pygmy Owl
  • Blakiston's Fish Owl
  • Whiskered Screech Owl
  • Barn Owl
  • Boreal Owl
  • Northern Hawk Owl
  • White Browed Owl
  • Galapagos Shirt Eared Owl

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.

They both stare right into my soul, and I love it
