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. :)

Sleuthgirl Ciara FTW!!!

Except in March Madness... Sean King is a valuable member of the Sleuth community, and certainly deserves to prevail in this particular match. VOTE SEAN KING!!

Also, for those of you who are unaware, Pilsner is the author of several well-written Mystery Intros. I love Mak, but my campaign is for Pilsner. GO BEER!! I mean... erm... yeah.

In addition, please vote for Kalis Khrom, who is both Smart AND Charming! He is also well-connected and fairly regarded by the Order of Socrates, and we all owe him a debt of gratitude for his successful pursuit and capture of the hideous Baroness Cleopatra Hruby! VOTE KALIS!!

And I'm going to add in a rule here, just because I'm running this and I can. ;) *liking the feel of power over everyone*

No PMing people to ask for them to vote for you. You can tell people to look here and see what is up, but any swaying of votes needs to be done here on the boards. If you have already PMed people, that is ok, but after this, any PMing I hear of will result in the contestant being disqualified. This isn't a contest of who can PM the most people. ;)
