lol, must rethink showcase showdown rules. it's like last voter has final call. maybe 24 hour extension next time?


What about setting up a separate temporary tournament forum. All first round match-ups get launched simultaneously and polls are open for 1 week. At week's end begin the second round, where all match-ups are again launched at once and open for 1 week, etc.

The current setup with two match-ups at a time, each lasting 2-4 days, is boring, limiting and tedious. But useful, I guess, if you're trying to drag this thing out until the season opener.

yeah, mostly just didn't want to overwhelm Knicks forum. Not that there is anything Knicks to talk about really.

i think some people just do it to be annoying... just set a time limit & stick to it... the threads should probably be locked afterwards.

Man. This match shows you why we need instant replay next year.

i think the easiest thing to do is take a screenshot of the poll the match is decided
