WDW March Madness 2008 - SEEDING ROUND

[DarkImage4]

Many years has this silly little tradition taken up residence in the Chit Chat forum here on WDWMagic, and yes, it is time once again for...

Thw WDW March Madness 2008

YAY

That time of year where your votes will settle totally un-sports-related matchup between your favorite WDW attractions in a knock down drag out tournament to crown the champion of 2008!

WDW March Madness dates back to 2002 and has been held every year since, sometimes accompanied by a WDW NIT (if someone wants to run that one, PM me so perhaps we can co-ordinate).

Past Champions -

2002 - Splash Mountain
2003 - Haunted Mansion
2004 - Tower of Terror
2005 - Splash Mountain
2006 - Splash Mountain
2007 - Splash Mountain

Will the on-going dynasty that is Splash Mountain do it again? Can the Tower of Terror or Haunted Mansion re-claim past glory? Will a new comer shock all with a new face in the winner's circle? Only time will tell.

I'm taking the wheel again this year and will be running this much like I did a few years ago. Full attraction lists for all of the parks are included in this thread. Your job is to list your personal top 16 for each of the 4 brackets (i.e. park). Each #1 vote will be worth 16 points, #2 worth 15 points and so on until a #16 vote is worth one lowly point .

Once the totals are all, well, totalled, I'll seed the attractions according to the standard 64 "team" bracket system and the games will begin. Each round of voting will be open for a few days and when closed I will re post the mext set of match-ups to keep thios thing going.

In the past, all ties were decided by MY vote, however, in the interest of creating interest, all ties will automatically favor the upset and the win given to the underdog .

Remember, I'm looking for 4 lists of 16 attractions in your order (1 list per park)....

So get ready, the 2008 WDW March Madness is set to be underway.....

WOW, no responses so far.....c'mon folks! If there isn't enough interest we just won't go on with this.

 

[SpongeScott]

You're the gamemaster....go ahead and make the seedings yourself. Maybe everyone just likes to mess with the vote. :shrug:

Yeah, I'll give it another day or so and if there isn't much response I will make the brackets. Just trying to get all involved...that's all!

Thanks for your interest!

 

[Wilt Dasney]

Who came up with this ridiculous idea anyway? :lookaroun

I'll throw out a seeding chart sometime later today. One suggestion...if you don't get a big response here, it might be fun to just pick 64, jumble them together in a big pot with no rhyme or reason, and see what shakes out. I think that was Zac's approach the year he did it.

 

[Laura]

Here ya go. Though I think everything except Magic Kingdom should be easy to do even without input. You only have to eliminate 2-4 "attractions" from each park, and some aren't even really attractions (like Dino-Sue).

Who came up with this ridiculous idea anyway? .

Hmmmm...I can't imagine who...:shrug:

Here ya go. Though I think everything except Magic Kingdom should be easy to do even without input. You only have to eliminate 2-4 "attractions" from each park, and some aren't even really attractions (like Dino-Sue).

I know, just putting it all out there. With even a couple responses it's sort things differently than I would. I'm almost positive I'd rank some of other people's top 3 lower, just because I'm weird like that.

Anyways, I'll go a few days on this, and I'll take whateverresponses I have, add my seedings to it and set the brackets. From there on out I won't have anything to do with the voting.

Thanks for playing!
