Bracketology 2007 edition
Bracketology is a simple concept. However I'm too lazy to explain it so here's Drakes explanation:

Anyways, people vote which person is the best in each of three categories: intelligence, sociability, and hilarity. Those should be self-explanatory. Whoever accumulates the most votes moves on to the next round. Ml

And the rules are equally simple:

1. Voting is done through five different categories, (this may be subject to change before the voting starts). You vote on the person who you feel is superior in the categories of: Hilarity, Intelligence, Sociability, Creativity, and Spelling&Grammar. Each vote in each category counts as one vote, and you are only able to vote once per match, per category. Votes will be tallied at the end of the round and the person with the most votes advances onward to the next round.
2. You cannot vote in your own battle.
3. You must have over 25 posts to vote (Just in case someone goes out and gets a friend to sign up solely to vote for them. There may be exceptions to this rule, decided upon by me.)
4. You must vote in all the categories. If you do not vote in one of the categories your votes will not count. There is no exception to this.
5. No talking in the voting threads. If you desire to leave a short reason for why you're voting for such and such person after you vote you may do so, but try not to clutter up the voting. If you feel like trash-talking or moaning about the next battle or what-have-you, I can start a thread just for that purpose, but I will close it if it gets out of hand. Do NOT trash talk in the voting. If you do so you will be warned once; if it happens again you will be punished.
6. You may not edit your votes. When your vote is made it is final so think before you vote. Take your time, this is not a race. If your post is edited the votes will be discarded.
7. Each battle will be open for approximately 2 days time. That is, when I have gone to sleep and woken up twice after opening a voting thread, I will tally the votes, announce the victor, and close the thread. If you do not vote during this time, you do not get a chance to vote in that battle. This is all assuming I remember to close the voting. I sometimes have stuff to do outside of the forums, as I actually have a life.
8. In case of a tie in the voting, we go to a tie breaker which is decided by the person who received the most "Sweep Votes" (takes all five votes in each category by one person). If that were to be a tie, both competitors advance into the next round in a Triple Threat match with the advancing member of the other match. In case of a tie in the finals, and a tie in the tie breaker, an additional two categories will be added that will be decided upon if the issue were to come up. Voting will continue as it had, with the people that had voted before getting an oppurtunity to vote on those two categories, as well as anyone who did not vote still having the opportunity to vote in all categories.

Re: Bracketology 2007 edition
Let's see how this plays out.
Last round in region IV doesn't seem fair.

We have 37 active members (that we could think of) and so it's got to have 1 three person match.

Re: Bracketology 2007 edition
I'm going to be slightly changing the rules and leave matches open for 3-4 days rather than the 2 days stated.

Re: Bracketology 2007 edition
I did have one question that I hope you guys don't mind answering.
In region 2, I know I can't vote on my battle, but can I vote for the other battles in region 2?
