Hard to get 16 with 4 people per team. Confused

4 is the max.

your team can consist of 1 person if necessary.

I know. It's supposed to be "Up to 4". I didn't know that everyone would see that as "We all need 4 fucking people!"

Follow Beachbum's example.

He's a Maverick! He'll be getting votes simply for going at it alone. Smile

I'm doing my best to get GenesisDoes to join up:

Well, Take the good old axe to some teams, split up some crowds :O
I suggest creating 3 new teams and putting 1/4 of Beach bum on each of them Razz

Why hasn't Syd signed up? We're not going to have a crack at the reigning champion? I think he and GenesisDoes should partner up.

Then we'd only need two more teams to fill out a 16-team bracket.

Ooooh, like "The Alpha and Omega of the forums"! I like it! Razz

Seriously though, you could just make the teams have a maximum of three. It goes against the opening post, but it doesn't rely on people suddenly growing a pair over the next 5 days, when they failed to do so for 2-3 weeks.
Also, the first Forum Battle was solo, the second had teams of 2. If this one has teams of 4, mathematical projections predict Forum Battle 2012 will have teams of 8 people. :O If we have teams of three, FB 2012 will have teams of 4 people, much more manageable Razz

So we would have to boot someone off teams?

My prediction.

"sorry, your off the team." "Nuh uh! you're off the team!" "I said you were first though!"

I remember when I had to kick someone out of my band in high school. We drew a picture of Pac Man with a dick pointing towards his mouth and wrote the guy's name over it and then it said something underneath like, "You're out of the band for sucking dicks, you yellow bastard."

Or the team leader can hold a secret vote through PMs.

Our team name is "The Four Skin Cancers".

Do not resist us. If you do....well, you'll get cancer.

Posted: May 18 2011 08:12 pm

Foreskin cancer, even. You know, if you still have one.

Does that mean I'm free to harass you as much as I like?

Yes, women are immune to our powers. As are Jews.

You need some more specifics. Namely, a team name, and are you entering or looking for someone to pick you up into a team?

It doesn't matter. Whichever will help the brackets the most.

I would, but apparently I don't QUALIFY.

You're fine, I think I've even got a team name that fits us all.

UsaSatsui's Youtube Channel · Posted: May 21 2011 12:50 am

Okay, signups end Sunday, at 8 PM. Eastern time. Please make sure you read the first post to sign up (just saying "I'm in" doesn't cut it. You need a team name at least, and if you're solo, please say that you're flying solo).

Don't worry about evening the brackets up. If it comes to it, I can make it work.

I haven't updated the front page yet but I will tomorrow.

We may have a name decided, I have to run it by the others.
