[Guest OlerudOwned]

Am I too late to join? If it's still at 16, don't bother squeezing me in, it'd ruin the nice round number.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Screw round numbers. A play-in round is a good thing.

[seawolf17]

OO is in. Anyone have the overall records so I can set up seedings?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I did this based on last year's results plus my memory. Look OK? Am I missing any?

(never mind)

[Guest themetfairy]

I'm in.

[Guest sharpie]

I never liked the lifetime record seeding thing. Base it all on last year I say. It could be something like this (I tried to rank similar places based on margin on victory but sometimes results weren't there. With the people who weren't in it last year I kind of winged it):

1. Lunchbucket
2. TransMonk
3. sharpie
4. Seawolf
5. Kid Carsay
6. Gwreck
7. Olerud Owned
8. Edgy DC
9. MetsMarathon
10. Holy Chicken
11. Steve J. Rogers
12. Soupcan
13. Nymr
14. Valadius
15. A Boy Named Seo
16. G-Fafif (play-in)
17. Fman99 (play-in)

[seawolf17]

Impressive work, sharpie. I'll start putting together the brackets -- adding in metfairy -- and start a new official parody thread tonight or tomorrow.

[Guest themetfairy]

Wolf - since I got off the fence late, if the brackets include play-ins then I should be in one of those slots. Those who made up their minds earlier should have priority.

[seawolf17]

Sounds fair. Brackets are ready; I'll start the contest tomorrow.

[Guest sharpie]

metfairy should be higher up (#7, actually with everyone else moved down a notch with Seo and Valadius playing in).

(on edit): If metfairy wants to play in against seo I guess there's nothing wrong with that. New identity, new rankings.

[G-Fafif]

Instructions will be posted/included, yes? As a newcomer (and spiritual equivalent to North Carolina A&T) to this, I'm still a little dim on process.

[Guest themetfairy]

I fear Seo, but I don't think I should get a bye round under the circumstances.

[seawolf17]

Nah, brackets are already set, and metfairy's getting a play-in.

I'm on a plane tomorrow -- I'll type out all the rules and get the list of topics together and ready to be randomized, and post tomorrow night from Syracuse.

Seawolf flying around the Country recruiting students.

[Guest sharpie]

Maybe Seawolf is flying around doing parody research.

You missed me.

[Guest sharpie]

I missed you 'cause Lunchbucket musta missed you. I guess you should play Valadius in the play-in.

Aw, a play-in? I feel like Jackson State :S

[seawolf17]

Nuts. Let me re-do the brackets.

[Guest sharpie]

is this gonna happen or not?

[seawolf17]

I knew I was forgetting something. Where's the updated Top 500 list? Kase, can you e-mail it to me? I'll put brackets up once I get the list randomized, including all the extra things we wanted to add.

[Guest KC]

I ain't be gottin' no list. Mr. Knot does the list, I just post an Adobeefied one
for easy printing, etc. I don't think we finished anyways, and on quick look I
can't find the thread. I hope it didn't fall off the side or something.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Never fear:

[seawolf17]

Uh oh. Where's the old list? I can just add the '07 roster to the current list.

[Guest AG/DC]

If he don't merge it by tonight, I'll try to.

C'mon, Knottie.

[Frayed Knot]

I'll email youse tonight ... I was going to do so anyway.

[Guest themetfairy]

FYI, I'm going to be fairly busy three out of the next five weekends, so I'm going to need to schedule matchups around that
