SteVo+ 3,702 Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Yep, I try every offseason and never get enough interest. All we need is eight names. See the spoiler tags for rules/procedures. Raise your hand if you're down... Eight-person, double-elimination bracket. Winners bracket is composed of entirely football topics, whereas the losers bracket is baseball, basketball, hockey, etc. Participants will not be asked to debate a sport they do not follow. Each matchup, the topic is assigned by me, and one person (random/coin flip) gets to choose: they can either pick which side of the argument to defend, or get last say in the argument. Winner is voted on by any non-participants. 1. Vin 2. DMac 3. Chernobyl426 4. JetsFan4Life 5. Bay 6. blotsfan 7. seanbrock 8.

Cherry 1,302 Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) I'll get knocked out with ease, but I'll take a spot if you don't get enough. I'll take NBA in the loserville bracket. Edited July 13, 2014 by Chernobyl426 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bay 2,003 Posted July 12, 2014 That counts as participating! Which sports would you be down for? I know NFL and NHL... Baseball too. Probably not Basketball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted July 12, 2014 Baseball too. Probably not Basketball. Good enough. Nobody in this tourney will be asked to debate any sport they're uncomfortable with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blotsfan 2,112 Posted July 13, 2014 I'll give it a go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteVo+ 3,702 Posted July 13, 2014 Only need two more!!! For those of you already participating, could you say which sports (outside of NFL) you'd be comfortable debating? I'm mainly talking about NHL, NBA, or MLB, but we can go beyond that if necessary. You can just edit your original post. Also, if anything has some debate topics they think would be interesting, please send them to me by PM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
