First of all, thank you to bigfan, I mean the three wisemen, I mean the two wisemen for once again green lighting this. There will be a section created for it. This will be the only thread for this posted anywhere but the CFMB March Madness section but I may bump it from time to time.

This will be the eleventh annual March Madness tournament.
2009 winner: Dr. Kenneth Noisewater
2010 winner: rogers park bryan
2011 winner: Terry's Peeps
2012 winner: Douchebag
2013 winner: OKC
2014 winner: Darkside
2015 winner: Don Tiny
2016 winner: JORR
2017 winner: Furious Styles
2018 winner: Regular Reader
2019 winner: You?

68 players will be chosen by the selection committee(me).
The general criteria for this will be:
Board history
Performance since last April
Increased importance for these:
Performance since the new year
Performance from now until selection day.

This will be scheduled to start this week(first four games), and all rounds will be done by PM/posting your vote instead of voting on the poll I'll be spreading it out a little more for the first rounds. Since I will be in charge of counting the votes, I am also now ineligible to be in it, actually no I'm in it, so congratulations 69th best poster on the board, you made it!

The first four matchups will start today, or tomorrow, the day after, or Monday, or next Tuesday, or next Wednesday, or next Thursday, or next Friday but definitely by then.

If you feel you may be on the bubble for this then post your way into the tournament. I will be watching. Every year there are people who post in this thread who make it but otherwise wouldn't.

Please, no PMs.

Seeding will be based not only on where they would rank but also to make interesting matchups in the first round.

Good luck to all participants and if you didn't make the tournament this year then post better.

What is sad is how many of those winners who are no longer posting here.

Either this year or next year we are going to the CFMB Grand Championship which will be all the winners with the criteria being you should take their entire board history into account rather than recent posting so you'll get to vote for OKC again one day.

Hey fuck you pal.

But to answer that jerk Tall Midget's question, my pal Panther was very helpful.
