In the Spirit of March Madness Basketball tournament that includes 64 teams from all over the nation participating in the NCAA Tournament, I decided to make a Congressional Tournament hosting our newly elected 68 Congressmen in a bracket of doom, destruction and upsets!
So without further stalling I give you, American Citizens the Congressional Tournament of March 2010!
First things first is that I need to seat each Congressmen into the bracket according to popularity before YOU the citizen vote on the games to predict who will be the best overall congressman! I asked a random group of 5 people to rank the 68 congressmen by popularity and thus they were placed into divisions and seeded.
The Divisions are The Trolls Division, The Bots Division, The 2 Clickers Division, and The Fgts Division
You can view the Official Bracket HERE
"What can I do as a citizen?
Well first off! You can make a prediction bracket of who will win! Meaning, before the games begin this up and coming weekend you can predict your winners in the bracket to earn prizes. Prizes are handed out to the top 3 brackets with the most points.

I wish I understood sports brackets but it seems that, to me, the teams (or in this case Congresspersons) who are at the top will have an advantage because it is like they are walking downstairs.
That's how it works, right?
I like the division I was placed in.
/me idles like an unscripted bot.
V/S
Iasov...not how it works at all xD
Joe Dasmoe over Ligtreb in the final.
More Tournaments, and more brackets, well if I wasn't in the 99.2% on ESPN i wouldn't but lets get it on!
So how did you come up with seeds?
trackbacked
I asked 5 random people to rank the 68 congressmen by popularity, 1 through 68.. I then averaged everyones ranking and the top 4 were 1 seeds, the next 4 were 2 seeds.. etc etc..
I is sad, I is not a troll 🙁

Oh man...I better do alright.
This is sweet. I'll email it to you EC, I did it in an Excel Spreadsheet.
You put the two JCS against each other off the bat?
