Hello,
I'm a gigantic hypocrite. Here's a game idea I've done a few times before with The Simpsons episodes and was quite fun. Basically, each participant picks 3 TV shows. The tournament starts with a group stage (hopefully groups of 4 but depends on interest), in which, each player plays everyone in their group once. The matches involve each player nominating an episode from one of their 3 TV shows. We then open it up for everyone to vote which episode they prefer (will probably keep it contained within this thread this time as opposed to the separate threads in Downs from the previous iteration). The one with the most votes wins. In the group stage: a win is 3 points, a draw is 1 and a loss is 0. 2 players (might be different depending on how group size turns out) with the most points in the groups go through. After the groups, it is a knockout stage with the remaining players and a loss knocks you out. A draw will take us to a tiebreaker of some kind which will be determined when/if it comes up. To keep it varied (so, for example, whoever gets the Simpsons doesn't spam us with Simpsons episodes), you can only pick a maximum of 2 episodes from each tv show that you choose in the course of the tournament. A few restrictions to try and make it fairer: maximum 1 animated show and at-least 1 show that doesn't originate from the USA.
Hopefully that makes some sort of sense. It probably doesn't. Feel free to ask for clarification. I swear it's fun! To sign up just make your 3 TV show selections below (first come first serve, you can't take a show someone else has, no moaning but you might be able to organise a trade if both participants agree and it doesn't mean the restrictions are broken)...
