This year's tournament winner will get a PPP appropriate prize....

 

First round Madness kicks off Friday

RULES:

* Each "game" will have one topic to debate assigned before tip-off. These topics will have a clear pro or con side to argue.

* Higher seeds get to choose which side they will represent, pro or con.

* Lower seeds get to choose who goes first (and thus, who goes last).

* Each game will consist of FOUR QUARTERS, a quarter being defined as one post from each team (an opener followed by a rebuttal etc).

* At the end of each quarter, ONE POINT will be awarded to the winner as determined by the "refs"; a total of FOUR POINTS per game are possible.

* The refs consist of the first THREE posters to respond after any given quarter - majority rules.

* Any tied games will go into a sudden death overtime with one more post from each team.

* Each post within a game MUST STAY ON TOPIC... or be blisteringly funny/PPP-worthy-insulting enough that the refs overlook it.

* The topics will be picked by me -- which is a YUGE conflict of interest, I mean it's bigly, but it's the age we live in.

If I missed anyone... well, I was going to apologize but this is PPP so screw that. There's always next year for any bubble teams who didn't get to go dancing in '17.

Good thing I have a bot to handle this...

[meazza]

I've been snubbed yet again.

[FireChan]

If boyst is anything higher than a 16 seed, I have lost all faith in the committee.

That shouldn't make anyone nervous.

1 year subscription to your very own DC Tom bot.

[Nanker]

I've been snubbed yet again.

 

Me too!

 

We've got to have gatorberius in MY MOM'S BASEMENT REGION as the 16th seed.

 

And Rhino has to be the #2 seed in the DEEP STATE REGION

 

I think JohnBenAdamsFranklin should be a high seed in the MAINSTREAM MEDIA REGION

Hell, I can call myself an idiot without help from Tom's script.

[Nanker]

Oh, and B-Large at least a 3 or 4 seed in the SHAH'S SPLEEN REGION.

[Deranged Rhino]

 

Good thing I have a bot to handle this...

Your bot has had such a smashing success this season that it just may have its own seed.

 

#2 and # 3 seeds about to be posted... Just headed back to the war room.

Updated... 4,5, and 6 seeds coming by 1:30 PST

A glimpse inside the selection committee's thought process:

Dick.

 

[FireChan]

OC and DC in the same division ensures that only one poster will die before they finish reading a post.

 

DR putting himself as a #2 seed. I see you.
