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. :)

Ani took an unfair advantage of time difference to post when she knew I wouldn't be able to respond, and now the voting is over. See how ruthless she is in getting her way? :)

If I saw her post in time, I would have said this:

Who needs fluffy bunnies and rainbows? (I'll have to reconsider the matter of toothless smiles). Not we! Aren't we the hard-boiled gumshoes, armed with Derringer pistols and tommy guns, with fedoras pulled down over our cold steel grey eyes? Vote for Anikka or you'll leave me with no other choice than to break your kneecaps (this is only one of the many things I learned from her :D)).

However, I'm not worried about the outcome of voting, I have a complete trust in our sleuths' judgment.

Drum roll please!

The winner of the 2010 Sleuth March Madness is...

The wonderful, talented, modest, extremely amusing ballot writer...

Anikka!!!

Congratulations! A well deserved win.

Everyone who was a part of the contest is a wonderful sleuth and I'm glad I got a chance to meet so many new people. Old faces and new were present, and I heard a lot of people say that they were glad to see so many different sleuths and got chances to meet them as well.

Thank you to all who voted and endorsed. This couldn't of happened without EVERYONE!

Anikka, I'll PM you shortly about the prize. :)

If the psychology had worked properly, we'd be congratulating Rosa. Be that as it may...

I'd like to thank everyone who participated in any way, Anais for organising this, Squirrel for being his usual snarky self, and all of my fellow sleuths who voted for someone... anyone.

Congratulations to all the brave sleuths who allowed their names to be put forward, even if they only lasted one round.

To Rosamund, I'd really have liked to see your name in the winner's spot; to me, you are and will always be Noir's most gracious lady.

Thank you, all!

This last vote was a very tough one. You are both great ladies and you both deserved to win. I'll admit to not voting on this one because I really couldn't choose.

Congrats Anikka. I'm anxious to see what your prize is!

Great job Anais! Now you can rest and take time to smell the roses :-D

I ALWAYS miss the final round. Damn.

Congratulations to Annika! Is your title Miss March or Miss Madness or The March or what? Just so I know what to address you, as in "Dear Ms. March, My mystery is not likely to be ready soon. Expect it to arrive in 2020." for mystery writers.

William, I have to admit that I genuinely lol'd. Loudly.

Personally, I would rather go with the choice of people know me IRL, but Psycho wasn't one of your choices, so let's just go with Miss Madness, eh? :-D
