Knockout post popularity comp.

[Clangus]

Now I know that this was done with the awards but I thoight it would be fun to do it in a knockout form.How it works. Put two posters names up and people vote for them -again popularity contest

- first to 5 goes through to the next round. Post you name if you interested. I pit random opponents against eachother. Who wants in? Also I might need a helper to moderate this as I Have two days off a week, so PM me if you want to be that helper (cant enter comp tho)

 

[nba dogmatist]

I'll join, what the hey!

 

[Rok]

Sounds like fun really, I love knockout.(basketball wise) But I think we should just gather like the top 30 or 40 posters. And go from there instead of asking who wants in.

 

[ASUFan22]

Me

But Rok is going to win because he's the most popular.

[BALLAHOLLIC]

I will allow it and I will get you guys a list, Maybe like survivor?Just dont have me on it...

 

[CelticBalla32]

Whoa, why am I on the list? I never said I wanted to be in this.

 

[Rok]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Whoa, why am I on the list? I never said I wanted to be in this.</div> Doesn't make sense to have you off it, your one of the top posters.

 

[CelticBalla32]

Fine I'll stay in I guess, but I don't want this to end up getting out of hand like it has in the past. I'm not saying we have ever done this exactly, but I remember old fights and stuff because "how the hell can you pick him over me?" etc. I don't want that crap happening again, I thought that died when JustBlaze left.

So I'll stay in if you guys promise not to take this out of hand, if not I don't even want to be a part of it.

 

[Pistonfan11]

Put me in the mix too please.

 

[King.23]

me too

 

[ElMaster]

I'm going to get beat in the 1st round but put me anyways.

There will be very strict rules when the voting starts. It'll be vote and shutup

As far as "why him not me" the stardard answer will be too bad and shut up

If anyone gets carried away I will be asking Balla to step in and repremand the offending parties. OK BALLA? On the whole I think the posters here can accept that its just some fun and nothing serious or personal.an updated list......1.Rok, 2.Asufan, 3.clangus, 4.nbadogmatist, 5.BCB, 6.celticballa, 7.dsoung, 8.wolverine, 9.s2s, 10.justice, 11.lazy, 12.pjcolpitts, 13.bigmo, 14.nitro, 15.iversonfan, 16.mavsfan1000, 17.pinoy balla, 18.koopa, 19.cb4 , 20.renton. 21.lakaboy42 , 22.Lakersfan247, 23.melo061,24. Pistonfan11 , 25.King.23, 26.ElMaster26 all up 6 more should do it. Anyone got an obiously active poster that was missed?EDIT> Eliite, S_guard28....

[nba dogmatist]

let's stop it when it gets to 32, so it'll be an even and continuous bracket.

 

[BigMo763]

Wait, so how exactly is this going to work? We're just going to put two random members (from the list, of course) in a "match-up" together, and then let people vote for who they like better or what?

 

[CB4allstar]

I dont think it's a good idea. People feelings will be hurt, and it could cause some flaming here.

 

[coyn3burglar]

I'll join, if it's ok.

 

[dsounG]

I wouldn't mind.

I know for a fact that people's favorite teams will have the majority to do with this. I don't know about you, but I come here to talk about basketball, not to worry about how much people like me. I joined bc bbw is a little dead right now and a contest isn't a bad idea.

 

[CB4allstar]

Im just saying. This definately has potential for flaming.Im in it too, but if anything happens it should be shut down.Im prepared to go out in the 1st round...
