The first round of games in the Indie Travel Takedown is over, and just like the NCAA tournament, upsets made the big headlines.
#1 seed Italy is out as is the #2 seed in Europe, Spain. Powerhouses Brazil and the US have been eliminated in the Americas region, while India and Australia barely held on in the Asia/Oceania region. Things went mostly as planned in the Africa/Middle East region, with only a minor upset of #6 seed Tunisia.
