    Okay, some of you might remember Puedlfor's "Best Poster Tournament" that was done back this past winter around February or so.

    Here is the original thread that lists the entrants (128) in that tournament:



    Well, we have had a lot of people join and make an impact here since this tournament plus there were some posters that were left out of the original.

    At first, I thought I would do 64, but I was able to come up with 32 more for a total of 96. If your name is not on this list, it is either because you were in the tournament from February or you didn't do something memorable (to me) that warranted me putting your name on the list.:p

    Here is your field of 96:

    Puedlfor, Trader_Jorge, Rocket Fan, devestata
    TheReasonSF3, The Real Shady, The Summitt, NC STATE FAN
    TBar, Another Brother, drapg, Deckard
    Refman, michechon, Rockets2K, Zac D
    Batman Jones, NYKRule, getsmartnow, Htownhero
    RC Cola, windandsea, Stevie Francis, VesceySux
    Stupid Moniker (Hydra), vj23k, x34, rimrocker
    timm, DrewP, AstroRocket, Sonny
    Falcons Talon, deepellumrocket, Special Patrol Group, DavidS
    nWo34life, DCKid, Phi Slamma Jamma, BullRider
    Dave2000, Surfguy, Mr. Spur, mav3434
    ESource, Free Agent, Buck Turgidson, IVFL
    ricerocket, thumbs, Oski2005, 3814
    Relativist, NJRocket, B-Bob, B-ball freak
    FranchiseBlade, Invisible Fan, lpbman, Master Baiter
    Mr. Scary, Cohen, Gutter Snipe, VooDoo Pope
    DearRock, axeman, Kayman, Deuce
    Severe Rockets Fan, ron413, Yetti, ROXTXIA
    Roc Paint, Samurai Jack, Nolen, ROCKSS
    ROCKET!, rockbox, boomboom, SonicsGM(Frylock)
    Azadre, pasox2, codell, Dallas Thomas
    Rockets R' Us, dimsie, Elvis Costello, subtomic
    Summer Song Giver, Drexlerfan22, dc rock, TMo
    Lil Francis, No Worries, Chance, Live

    Since there are 96 entrants, I have given the top 8 seeds (1 through 8) in the 4 brackets a bye to the first round. That leaves 64 posters left. These 64 will battle each other to "earn" the right to get to the first round. This round will be known as the Preliminary round. It was the only way to get the thing to work out with 96 because I didn't want to subtract 32 nor add 32 more people.

    I will post the bracket to the preliminary round in 2 sections: the first one will be posted sometime around 9:00 central time tomorrow night. You will have 48 hours to vote. You can only vote once and I would rather not have anyone abstain. You can also vote via email which I will post tomorrow night where to send those votes.

    Finally, let's remember that this is for fun. It is not meant to be taken seriously. If we all remember that, then I think we will have some fun with this "updated" tournament.

    Good luck to everyone in the tourney!

    Damn, Manny, I'm not even on your radar :eek: ... and TroyBaros is. How low can I go?

    Wasn't he banned? I will not accept the nomination to take his spot.

    Looks like he's doing guys who weren't in the original tournament.

    You were in the original tourney.

    giddy,

    You were in the tournament in February. Click on the link that I provided in the initial post and you will see your name. Therefore you are ineligible just like anyone else that was in that tournament.

    I nominate PhiSlammaJamma. He somehow missed the cut the first time around.

    Yup, you're right. He was listed in Pued's entrants, but somehow never got placed in a bracket.

    Consider him added. He'll take the place of Festeral Otto (who I doubt hardly anyone outside of me has ever heard of).

    ****, vj...I forgot about you, too.

    :mad:

    You are on the list over Special Patrol Group (another one that nobody other than me has heard of).

    EDIT:
    Er...change that...replaced Troy Baros with you since his name was already removed:confused:

    I only wanted him so I could see him get drilled...oh well.

    Special Patrol Group is back in.

    You were in Pued's tournament in February because I voted for you. You just wasn't in his field of entrants for some reason.

    Trust me on this, f4p, I would have included you if it wasn't for that fact.

    So we're supposed to vote for someone to advance?

    If that's the case, I'll go mav3434... tough one, though. There are about ten posters on the list I'd vote for.

    I would just to tell you why I am the best candidate and why I deserve your vote.

    Let's say I go into some guys office, let's say he's even remotely interested in voting for me, well then I get all excited and I'm like Jo Jo, the Indian circus boy with a pretty new pet. The pet, is my possible vote. Oh my pretty little pet. I love you. So I stroke it, and I pet it, and I massage it. Yeah I love it, I love my little naughty pet, your NAUGHTY then I take my naughty pet and I go *schustch*! Oh! I killed it! I killed my sale!!! And that's when I blow it.

    :D

    OK...sonny's election speach was good...but i'm gonna be serious with you guys.

    Think about it for a while:

    -who brought you the 2 minute highlight reel of Yao Ming's first game on North American soil?
    -who conducted the "hottest music chick" competition?
    -who taught RC Cola how to use chat?

    A vote for me is a vote for humanity -- a vote for opposition, is simply insanity.
