New Changes!



First off, All TD's will be released on Sunday- please fanmail me or sign up below- I normally don't save spots for people so If you signup below- you know I'll see it.

Unless otherwise noted- the second person listed will pick the topic and place below the blog- then the first person will challenge- You will have until FRIDAY to START them

If the Throwdown is NOT started on Friday, Person listed first is ELIMINATED

The TD must be finished by SUNDAY- otherwise I will chose a winner- or may under certain circumstances allow an extension

Now how I arrange the Brackets

I never pick my own topic so I'm always the lower seed - I randomly sort them - some times I do it to avoid rematches- or to pair up people

For example I'm not going to pair up Nomar Fan and Dennis 24 in round 1- those are 2 heavy hitters going at it and should meet later in the brackets.



At other times I may match people up with their level of person- I have an okay record but I am not about to go up on level footing with dyhardbaseball fan- I know next to nothing on Baseball- So I would match dyhard up with Nomar and myself with someone such as BigBen68- who also admits to not knowing nothing about baseball. Now this would be a RARE case- only in 2 tourneys have I changed people for this reason



Finally, I am still going to put out the topic and hope to get 8 good people in this thing- there are over 100 of you and most people whine there are no good topics out there

And yet I never see your names on the signup sheet.



Q? Mail me
