In honor of that lousy waste of a month February being over, I have decided to hold the first-ever Sleuth March Madness Tournament!

The premise is pretty simple. We compile a list of 64 of the game's most recognizable players, seed them into a tournament bracket, and allow Sleuthville to vote for the "best" in each matchup.

Rules for eligibility:
You must be subscribed and over 30 days old
You must PM me with your intent to enter the tournament or to nominate an eligible member for the tournament. If you are nominating someone, you must also be subscribed and older than 30 days.
Entries and nominations should be messaged ASAP. As soon as we get 64, the seeding process will begin and the matchups will be posted.

After the initial bracket is filled, I will post a few matchups here every day. Then, the people involved in those matchups will have an opportunity to say "anything" on this thread that they feel will allow them to advance to the next round of competition. Sleuthville votes will be what decides the winners, and voting information will be coming soon.

The overall winner of this tournament will receive $100,000 sleuth cash.

Please begin sending your nominations and entries to me ASAP, and good luck!

On the Northern Edge of New York City

The Pfeiffer Estate

Breit and Dave's Cottage, the former Carriage House of the Manor

Maggie, the Pfeiffer family cook, opened the front door to find a man pressing repeatedly on the doorbell. It was the smarmy reporter that had been interviewing various people all over Sleuthville. She looked at him frostily as he continued banging away on the doorbell, "May Ay 'elp zu?" she asked him in heavily accented English.

The reporter looked up at her and smiled insolently at her, "I need to speak with Mrs. Adams, if you'd be good enough to let me see her, please."

"Ze Miss is not 'vailable right now. Ay am afraid..." she started to reply but was cut off by him as he shoved his way in the door.

"That's okay," he replied, "I only wanted to ask her a couple of questions anyway." He pushed his way past her and began poking his head into the various rooms, "Mrs. Adams? Just a couple quick questions for you?"

Suddenly, Dave appeared at an entranceway, napkin in hand. The pleasant smile on his was belied by the steel in his eyes, "Maggie? You okay?" he asked the older woman kindly.

Maggie smiled slightly, "Oui, Mon Capitan. Zis man is 'ere to see ze Miss. Ay zink 'e is 'ere about ze Tournament she is in."

Dave's smile turned a shade colder, "Ah yes. You must be a long way from home, Sir. She's in here, if you'd like to ask her one or two short questions. Then I'm afraid you'll have to excuse us. We have some other business to attend to."

The reporter stepped into the room to find Breit in the middle of lunch. Ignoring her startled look of surprise, he plopped down in a chair and fired questions at her.

"What do you think your chances are of winning the Tournament, Mrs. Adams?"

Breit stared at him for a moment, puzzled, "I s'ppose just as good as anyone else's, Sir."

"Do you think you'll lose?"

Breit blinked at him, "I really have no idea one way or the other, Sir."

"You're up against some heavy hitters in Sleuthville. Who have you picked to win?”

Breit shook her head, “I think all of the nominees deserve to win, regardless of their placement or standing.”

Dave came over from the doorway entrance and laid his hand gently on his wife’s shoulder, “My wife’s not much of a gambler. She’d like to see everyone win in this competition.”

The reporter frowned at Breit sulkily, “You’re not giving me much to take back to my editor for an interview, Ma’am.”

Dave suddenly grinned broadly at him, “Well why didn’t you say so?! If it’s an interview you want, you really should be talking to the Rajini! She’s much more interesting than my wife is.”

The reporter’s ears perked up at that, “Rajini? Who’s this rajini?”

Dave clapped him on the shoulder as he led him out in the hall, “Why, she’s the Rajini of Bengal! She’s been visiting here with Breit for a little while now. I’m sure she’d be happy to speak with you.” Dave looked over at Jasper, the Butler, “Jasper, where’s the Rajini?”

Jasper blinked for a moment, then replied calmly, “I believe the Queen is sunning herself in the Library, Sir.”

Dave beamed at him, “Thanks, Jasper.” He led the reporter down the hall to the Library, “The Rajini’s full name is Rajini Maalikaalishashanta Parvati of Bengal. Just so you can have it for your records.” The reporter scribbled furiously in his notebook. “I’ll just let you in the Library, and you two can talk in peace.” Dave smiled amiably at the reporter.

“Why, thank you, Sir!” The reporter shook Dave’s hand furiously, then went in the Library and shut the door behind him.

Dave turned around to find Breit standing there, arms akimbo, and one eyebrow cocked, “Since when would the Rajini look forward to talking with THAT creep?”

Dave chuckled as he came over and hugged her tenderly, “Missy will be absolutely DELIGHTED to talk with him. He just may not like what she has to say, that’s all.”

They listened for several moments, then there came a skittering noise, a shriek, and a frantic scream, followed by furious pounding at the door. A loud feline roar followed. They then heard more frenzied pounding, followed by a CRASH. They watched as the reporter streaked by the front door, running as fast as he could, a playful Bengal tiger hot on his heels.

Dave looked down at his love, wrapped safely in his arms, “Huh. Guess the Rajini didn’t want to talk to him after all. Oh well. My mistake.” He winked at her cheerfully, then tucked her under his shoulder as they went back to their lunch....
