First of all, thank you to bigfan, I mean the three wisemen for once again green lighting this. There is a section created for it. This will be the only thread for this posted anywhere but the CFMB March Madness section but I may bump it from time to time.

This will be the eighth annual March Madness tournament.
2009 winner: Dr. Kenneth Noisewater
2010 winner: rogers park bryan
2011 winner: Terry's Peeps
2012 winner: Douchebag
2013 winner: OKC
2014 winner: Darkside
2015 winner: ????????????? Don Tiny? Bigfan deleted the champions and March Madness thread for that year. Can anyone confirm?
2016 winner: JORR
2017 winner: You?

68 players will be chosen by the selection committee(me).
The general criteria for this will be:
Board history
Performance since last April
Increased importance for these:
Performance since the new year
Performance from now until selection day.

This will be scheduled to start this week, and all rounds will be done by PM/posting your vote instead of voting on the poll I'll be spreading it out a little more for the first rounds. Since I will be in charge of counting the votes, I am also now ineligible to be in it, so congratulations 69th best poster on the board, you made it!

The first four matchups will start early next week.

If you feel you may be on the bubble for this then post your way into the tournament. I will be watching. Every year there are people who post in this thread who make it but otherwise wouldn't.

Please, no PMs.

Seeding will be based not only on where they would rank but also to make interesting matchups in the first round.

Good luck to all participants and if you didn't make the tournament this year then post better.

There are quite a few 'new' active posters...interesting to see what 12-16 seeds are out there.

Good luck to all, except Elmhurst Steve.

I should automatically win this. My Media Narrative thread galvanized the board and helped the Cubs win the World Series.

Vote counting should be easier this year.

Rick should be in the tournament. If the votes are public we can all count.

CLH should be excluded ... very unfair, very nasty. No respect for a former champion. He has brought shame to his family, his board, and his people.

Too easy.

Something like One-T vs. Elmhurst Shreve.

Rick should definitely have a spot in the tourney and be pitted against Not Boilermaker Rick in the first round.

When a rookie doesn't know what kind of bar to open, what does he do? Opens a sports bar. Sports are really only good for 70 days a year. I've got to come up with a concept at CFMB that's going to drive customers in the other days of the year. We've got a lot of work to do. Let's head to the hotel, I'll get the coffee- it's going to be a long night.

Julie DiCaro should win. Without physically posting here herself, she managed to provide 95% of the board content over the last year. Without her, this site would be dead.

Big LIAR! I still don't understand that thread and that's probably because I don't know much about her.

For whatever reason she is gaining traction among female golf bloggers, too. I imagine it has to do with how poorly female reporters and journalists are treated in golf, or they all shop at the same grocery store or whatever.
