4merper4mer Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) I would like to run a tournament of sorts here on PPP. Here is how it will work: 1. A bracket tournament of 16 players. To participate, reply to this note saying you would like to play. First 16 acceptable candidates will be selected by the judge. Me. 2. Each match up will have a unique topic defined by the judge. Me. There will be two participants in a head to head match up for that topic. Each match will have its own thread. Once the match is decided, the thread will be taken down by the judge. Me. This will be done so as not to clutter the board. The results and follow on brackets will be posted on a master standing thread.....maybe this thread. There will be re-seeding each round so you will not necessarily know who your next opponent will be. Comments and critiques will be freely allowed in this thread but not by Beerboy. Please refrain from commenting in the individual match up threads. 3. Most, but not all of the topics will be political in nature. If the players agree on which side of the argument each will take that will be fine. If both players want to take the same side, the sides will be assigned by the judge. Me. Feel free to take the side of a political argument that would be the opposite of what everyone would expect. 4. I'm thinking one topic per day, excluding weekends, but may take a day off here and there or even run a few matches in parallel. 5. A match will be decided when either: a. Significant pwnage has been administered as determined by the judge. Me. Or b. The thread has gone on to a stalemate and the winner will be decided by the judge. Me. If I cannot decide I will do a GvG to find the winner. 6. Players should feel free to use logic, insults, emotional pleas, cheating, torture or any other device to pwn the other player. 7. Links to Youtube videos are allowed but only one per player per thread. Links to factual information are also allowed but often found to be boring to the judge. Me. Links to editorials are cheating, but then again cheating is allowed. 8. Thread titles of the match ups will have the tag Sweet 16 and start with the word Tournament. 9. If you have any questions feel free to ask them but be aware that they may annoy the judge. Me. 10. There really isn't anything else but it seemed weird to have 9 rules. Players: 1. Gary M On to Round 2. 2. Chef Jim On to round 2 3. JBoyst62 4. TGreg99 5. KD in CT On to Round 2 6. Rob's House 7. GG 8. gatorman 9. keepthefaith 10. LeviF91 On to Round 2 11. OC in Buffalo 12. DC Tom 13. Take You to Tasker 14. Jim in Anchoarage 15. Azalin 16. 4merper4mer - to be fair, since I am the judge all of my matches will go directly to GvG to be decided. Winner of TGreg99 v Rob's House thread but spot turned over to mystery contestant. Round 2: 1. LeviF91 2. KD in CT 3. Chef Jim 4. Gary M 5. Mystery Contestant 6. 7. 8. Semis: 1. 2. 3. 4. Finals: 1. 2. Edited January 20, 2014 by 4merper4mer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 This sounds complex. Too complex. What's the point, too? Just insult each other and make PPP look even worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Oh ****. Welcome aboard. If these were live debates I'd have you bring the food. I'm in. You'll be in when the judge says you're in. Me. You're in. This sounds complex. Too complex. What's the point, too? Just insult each other and make PPP look even worse? You're in but if you're not going to insult anybody I'm smelling a first round departure. :lol: I didn't expect you but feel free to use movie scripts to back up your arguments. Wait...that makes us look worse? How could that be? Have you read the main wall after a loss lately? You're the morning line favorite until DC Tom gets here. Or maybe Mr. Limbaw.

4merper4mer Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 or after a win Don't take that for granted but I think you have a shot of getting to round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepthefaith Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I'm in but only if there are at least 4 liberal players. Without at least a few willing to defend and support the liberal agenda, this just won't be an interesting play. Are Liberals allowed to participate? Sign your ass up.

boyst Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Though I am doubtful I will even care to participate I hope crayonz matches me against gatorman. It'd be funny watching him argue me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
