Waaaay before my time here, Serges hosted Sleuth March Madness in 2007. I thought it looked like a lot of fun, so... without further ado, The copy pasted rules from then with minor modifications! ;)

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 are not allowed to nominate yourself.
You may nominate up to 3 persons.
The nominated must be over 30 days old by March 1, 2010, and active.

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.

We will start the voting on March 1st, so get your nominations in as quickly as possible! Please PM me the nominations, and I will be posting a list of who has been nominated, the brackets, and all that fun stuff as we go. :)

Oh wow! I didnt even notice this until just now. Thanks for the nomination, how fun! *wriggles into red sequin dress and pouts like Jessica Rabbit* I'll do my best to impress! ;D

You deserve the nomination, dear, my only surprise was that no one did that before.

Are the contestants for this year's March Madness! The actual organizer, Anais Nin, seems to be late for the 1st of March so I thought I'd compile this list for you all. I hope to speak for all the contestants when I say we hope to receive your votes for each one when the organizers work out how we're supposed to vote (in what batches). Good luck to all contestants and have a nice time voting for me!

(Sorry, that should read "and have a nice time voting!" but feel free to vote for me anyway)

Sorry everyone, real life intrudes.

The way this is working is I am putting everyone in seeds and everyday, there are multiple face offs. In each pairing, you vote for the one you would like to see continue. The pairs will be up for 24 hours in which they can brag about themselves and people can endorse those up for votes. At the end of 24 hours, there will be a 24 hour voting period and the next pairings will be put up.

I'm going to go finish that because, as I just said previously, real life unfortunately comes first.

The seeds and first pairings will be up shortly!

The seeds were put together in terms of experience.

As I didn't post last night, I will have eight pairs today and four on the following days. You vote for one person in each pair. The pairs will be up for 24 hours in which you can endorse who you would like to move on. You MAY vote for yourself, but you do not have to. Votes will be sent to me, and you have 24 hours to vote after the first 24 hours of endorsing.

Any questions, please PM me.

The first pairings you are voting for are as follows:

Ddog (Seed #1) Vs. Shady (#16)
Harry Jones (#8) Vs. Thomas Veil (#9)
Poirot's Protege' (#4) Vs. Elizabeth March (#13)
Vellozo (#5) Vs. Leola Luiza (#12)
Riza Hawkeye (#2) Vs. Kyle XY Rocks (#15)
Joseph Zeo (#7) Vs. Sleuth Admin (#10)
Treschaude (#3) Vs. Sir William Weine (#14)
Lady Zeugirdor (#6) Vs. Elizabeth Christie (#11)

No fair Riza is better then me :(

Keep your head up Kyle, you never know!

You should vote for me because I once saved the world from a huge, vicious, purple monster who planned to blow up the earth with its laser eyes by striking it with a slingshot while riding a camel. Ok, maybe that's not entirely true, but you should vote for me anyway. ;)

Wow so many tough choices for the first round hehe

I have to give a shout out to Elizabeth March. She doesn't post often on the boards but is such a genuinely nice person, who is a pleasure to talk to and would fully deserve to go further in this contest.

Also a shout out to Riza, a good friend who certainly knows how to turn a frown upside down. She has a great sense of humour and is a fantastic team player and writer.

How on earth can you piock between Jospeh Zeo and the Sleuth God? On the one hand JZ; a fantastic contributer to Sleuth providing great SMs to play, funny, friendly and a great team player. On the other hand Sleuth Admin who can refuse to ever provide us with new content again if he doesn't win ;) hehe

Oh and Elizabeth love you capign :D

Good Luck everyone!!
