noehlp Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 I want to participate in this. BUT, every year, I don't fully understand how/what it is and how it works. So, would someone please break it down for me (and anyone else), please? Thank you! :)
tinkrbel Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 there's a whole bracket of movies up against each other, I think it starts with 32. What I do is just quote message or copy/paste movies portion and delete the movies I do not want to win for each bracket. Then post reply

riven3d Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 its like the NCAA basketball tourney, your given a choice of 2 movies, you post who you want to win, but you do it for each bracket, ie 64 movies, you pick 32 winnners and. then the next time those 32 you pick 16, until there is only 1 movie left.

eve Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 been waiting on this !!!! So, we are picking which of two (or more) we think is the best movie?yes 32 movies will be put in 16 pairs, then 16 winners emerge to be put in 8 pair and so on............ not sure on numbers, that was just a guess... but you get the idea.
tinkrbel Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 thanks all for clarifying, I was rushing out the door VERY LATE for CVS and Walgreens and brain wasn't up to scratch thanks to BB debacle til 4:30. Still I prefer that to dealing with real people in line outside a store:P
