It's Tournament Time - NowParenting March Madness

Mark · 03-26-2009, 12:54 AM

It is time to see who the real serious members are of this community and who are just all talk. Welcome to the NowParenting March Madness Tournament. This is a winner take all event that is sure to go down in the record books. Early favorites may be in but anyone can be crowned champion and anything can happen along the way.

Starting on Monday, March 30th the most active members from the past 30 days will begin a tournament to see who is the top poster by the end of the tournament. The champion will be crowned on April 17th.

Round 1 (Sweet 16) is from March 30th - April 1st (3 days)
Round 2 (Top 8) is from April 2nd - April 6th (3 days - weekend excluded)
Round 3 (Final 4) is from April 7th - April 10th (4 days)
Round 4 (Championship Week) is from April 13th - April 17th (5 days)

All you need to do is post like you always do. You can increase your posts during the tournament to increase your chances that you might win. After each round the person with the most posts per bracket will advance. The next day following the end of each round, the next round will begin. The only time that we will not include posts toward the tournament are during the weekend as those days seem to bring the least amount of activity to begin with.

The winner will receive bragging rights among all other members that they squash along the way. That alone is worth a great deal in this community. This tournament is meant to be fun so no actual prize (except those awesome bragging rights) will be awarded. The rankings were based on the amount of posts each person made during the last month. Just like any other tournament, the first place person will go head-to-head against the sixteenth place person. Second place battles fifteenth place. And so on. The full rankings are listed below.
