Hemo, for your topics, I don't think they're going to work. With the first one, do you realize that you only have 3600 characters to explain that? Impossible is something with that one. With the second one, what makes you think Jesus can help them? They're way past any kind of help in this universe, be it religious or other.

That's his profile. I'm giving him a no and I'm pretty sure it's obvious as to why.

9 and 5/12 yes votes for Cincy. I'd say he's in.

You didn't read this entire thread, I see, Cheez.

Do NOT start your throwdowns now though. I'll give you more rules and they will be started sometime within the next few days.

Posted Monday August 25, 2008, About: Our First Tournament

Here are the current win percentages:

0x- 78%
Hemo- 77%
David- 75%
Denis- 70%
Lakers- 66%
Danbash- 60%
Cheezhead- 58%
Dyhard- 57%
SS- 51%
Squints- 49%
Dudeman- 41%

And here are the seedings. Some were moved around based on whether or not someone guessed the medals correctly in the Olympics.

1) 0x
2) Hemo
3) David
4) Denis
5) Danbash
6) Cheezhead
7) Dyhard
8) Lakers
9) SS
10) Squints
11) Dudeman

Tough luck for Lakers, who dropped 3 places because the first three people behind him all predicted the medals correctly. haha.

Here's how the opening round of throwdowns should look for the tournament:

Lakers vs. SS -- winner gets 0x
Dyhard vs. Squints -- winner gets Hemo
Cheezhead vs. Dudeman -- winner gets David

Denis and Danbash will face off in the next round, not this one.

Their defense was pretty weak compared to their past games. I thought they would be better and I definitely didn't think Spain would give them that much of a game.

However, my final decision is this. The Dream Team would definitely beat the Redeem Team and for only one reason: big guys.

Posted Monday August 25, 2008, About: 16th Application

Yes.

Posted Sunday August 24, 2008, About: Our First Tournament

No, I'll make room for you, Squints. I just didn't expect this many people to sign up.

We have 10 people as of right now. I'll leave the sign ups open until tomorrow afternoon.

The winner gets to choose the court that will become our next group picture. He will also face off in a basketball-related throwdown against me. If he beats me, he will be the #1 seed in the next tournament and will become one of the admins in the group. However, if he loses, he will have to be the #4 seed in the next tournament and his privileges will NOT be changed.
