This is something I got the idea to do months ago, but it had to wait until March. Well that time is just about here! For any of you non-Americans who don't know, there's a big thing here called March Madness. It's a basketball tournament with 64 college basketball teams. People predict who will win every match, even though the chances of getting everything right are astronomically low. It's a big month long thing. Well I had the idea, what if we had our own MFGG version of that? Only instead of basketball it's Mario characters? Well here's the tournament chart! [img]https://s8.postimg.org/i85klnx39/mmtournament.png[/img] This is going to be a long popularity voting tournament. Whichever character is your favorite/want to win the round, make a post in the corresponding thread for your vote! Matches were decided based on a randomnumber generator, as wel as an effort to equally space characters around. Every round has two days to vote on. Whoever wins moves to the next round. If there's a tie, I'll wait for someone else to make a post. The schedule of events includes: March 17-18 The Red Zone March 19-20 The Geen Zone March 21-22 The Yellow Zone March 23-24 The Blue Zone March 25-26 Quarterfinal Left March 27-28 Quarterfinal Right March 29-30 Both Semifinal March 30-April 1 Final Match! Additionally, since in March Madness everyone picks who they think will win every round, I thought we could do something like that too! ...Although, guessing 63 rounds would be pretty daunting, plus I want people to vote for their favorites, not neccesarily who they predict will win. So instead, we're going to have a simplified version of that. Predict who you think will win every colored zone to make the top four. A winner from the Red Zone, Yellow Zone, Green Zone, and Blue Zone. From there, pick who will be the two finalists. And finally, pick the overall winner. Here's a form you can fill out. --------------------------- Red Zone winner: _________ Yellow Zone winner: ________ Green Zone winner: _______ Blue Zone winner: ______ Left finalist: ______ Right finalist: ______ Winner: ________ ---------------------------- You have until Friday to send in your bracket. Send the PM to Vinnyvideo. (I want to predict too, and that way if I send it to him, it won't seem like I'm doing anything dubious, I don't want to know anyone's predictions since I'm going to be running this.) Once the tournament ends, he'll give me everyone's predictions and I'll figure out who wins! The winner (or winners, if there's a tie!) will get an Event badge. Priority will be given to those who guess the winner, and from there, if more than one person guesses right, the finalists and top four. If no one guesses the winner, the finalists will be checked, and so on. Anyway, talk here, post your thoughts, strategies, discuss the bracket, and so on.

Sent my form to Vinny, good luck everyone!

This should be fun! I encourage y'all to send in your predictions, and when the tournament starts, be sure to vote early and vote often!

Eh, why not? Sent a form.

Hey guys, today's the last day to get your guesses in! I'm surpised there hasn't been too much posting... Discussion time though. Who would you pick as your favorites?

Part of me thinks that the winner will be a familiar Nintendo hero like Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, or Peach. Another part of me thinks that the winner will be Waluigi (or possibly Wario) just because of the meme-y votes. [s]Never underestimate the power of memes.[/s] And there's always the possibility that a more off-the-wall character could pull off the ol' upset special. Maybe MFGG is full of fans of Mouser, Tatanga, or Sushie!

Many of my favorites are Koopalings or Paper Mario characters.

Hey Parakarry, I think you meant Poochy instead of Poochie, unless you are referring to that one [url=https://www.mariowiki.com/Poochie]dog from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show[/url].

[quote="Q-Nova"]Hey Parakarry, I think you meant Poochy instead of Poochie, unless you are referring to that one [url=https://www.mariowiki.com/Poochie]dog from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show[/url].[/quote] Oh crap. You might be right.

Disclosure time. I didn't want to say anything on the thread cause I'm running this, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't rooting for my bud Parakarry to do well. Even if I don't think he might even get in the top 16 or so... D: That said, don't let me make you vote certain ways.
