Next Show: Jan 7th @ 9pm
The debate shall begin: the 16-bit tournament seeding will be determined.
We will take the games listed here and break them down into a tournament bracket of 64 games.
Rules:
Games move on by live vote either by callers into the show or votes collected in the chatroom.
DopeRule:
If a caller makes a decision which is viewed as an obvious error then the host has the right to reverse this decision in a DopeRule. Host gets 1 per show.
Example: Caller says MLB Baseball def Mario 3 then the host uses the doperule to reverse the decision.
Executive Challenge:
The caller can contest the last vote given, then the next caller OR the chatroom will determine the contest in the event of no caller.
Example: Marble Madness def Zelda, then the next caller orders the Executive Challenge and the caller after that gets to determerine the winner.
