Polling in net54 question

[BicycleSpokes]

Gotta love a trash talkin' Walter Johnson!

So... it seems that the polling facilities here are not set up for a tournamnent style thread, as I suspected. But, I expect the polls could be handled externally, via a link. I will do some checking on this, and probably start an offcial thread tomorrow to open up nominations for a smaller tournament, to avoid generating ennui (had to... I hope I used this right!)...

(I will also count those nominated here, so more nominations are welcome!)

We are on Vbulletin 3.8.1 and should really be on 3.8.7 ....but the functionality is similar. There are later versions (4 and 5 I think) but 3.8.x is a good solid platform for forums. Just letting you know so you have that info when rooting around......

I think it sounds like a fun idea David. If there's an easy (not entirely manual) way to receive/record ranked votes on maybe a top 32 or 16 (whatever is manageable), then actual seeding could take place. Per an earlier post, the odds on favorites for 1 and 2 seed would be Wags and Plank, in which case they'd only be able to face off at the end... but upsets could happen and would be cool.

128 would be awesome if do-able--- imagine the 128 seed knocking off Wags!

I think this is a great idea, too!

You could place the whole group and seed them like the NCAA tourney and then break out 4 or 8 groups into separate threads... then have the quarter finals, semi finals and finals in separate threads, as well...

I don't know how you sort out the voting process... but just listing the names of winners by posting in thread could work... in any case, once again... nice idea!
