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 SECOND THOUGHT...

Let's revise the nomination process. You can NOT nominate yourself. Should be more fun that way.

First 8 nominations are ALREADY in (wow!), so there are only 56 spots left.

The following detectives are in the tournament, listed after which are their nominators:

Ms Helen Corning (Adam Carter)
Cfm (Jojo)
AraLives (Biggie528)
AndreaX (Biggie528)
Adam Carter (Biggie528)
Breitkat (Annika)
Crunchpatty (Annika)
Serges (Annika)

as you can see, at the moment I am allowing up to 3 nominations per person, until we see how the field fills out. Keep sending those PMs!

Another 6 nominations in:

Biggie528 (AndreaX)
Longwater (AndreaX)
Kagome_70 (AndreaX)
Lady Ruby Caplan (AraLives)
Arabella Parker (Adam Carter)
Fiddler's Green (Adam Carter)

14 down, 50 to go folks. Also, a quick point... please don't nominate people's "doubles" or use your own "double" to get extra nominees in. It just gums up the works.

The sooner we fill the field, the sooner we can start off these shenanigans!

What Ho all!

Not quite sure what I am doing on the list, or indeed what is going on. But there again that is normal for me - all down to my Nanny cooking the rhubarb in aluminium pans when I was a nipper, don't you know.

(wanders off muttering....shame what happened to dear old Nanny. Went off to work for a chappie at the American Embassy called Thorn, nasty business.....)
