It's a perfect compliment to your Holiday Meal or Shopping Purchase!!!!! IT'S THE 20111 GOTTADEAL HOLIDAY MOVIE TOURNAMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2010 was filled with surprises!!!

The Santa Clause burled past The Original Miracle on 34th Street, Christmas in Connetcuit and Home Alone 2, before putting an immediate halt to Elf and cruising to the final 4!! 2009 Champion Christmas Vacation was looking to repeat and was on a proverbial tear, going through Last Holiday, 1984's A Christmas Carol, White Christmas and Christmas with The Kranks to enter the Final 4 Showdown!!! They were joined by 2 Newcomers, The First, Polar Express!! Yes! It hit the Express lane and flew past Santa Clause 2 and Holiday Inn, had a close showdown with The Grinch and beat It's a Wonderful Life to earn it's spot in the Final Four! And lastly, Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas!!! This reative dark horse, proved that it belonged among the elite, first beating Home Alone 3 and Jingle All The Way!! Then in an unprecidented first ever 3-way dance, Mickey emerged on top beating both Diehard and Fred Claus and to top it's Magical run, beating 2008 Champ, A Christmas Story and entering it's first trip to the Final 4!!!! The sparks didn't end there as the voting took off in their respective matches!! Polar Express faced Christmas Vacation and Mickey squared off with Santa!!! Fighting for four days, til we had two Titans of Holiday Movies left!! 2009 Champ Christmas Vacation and The Santa Clause!!!

noehlp Posted November 24, 2011 Share 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! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkrbel Posted November 24, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riven3d Posted November 24, 2011 Share 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 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
