You're hoping I'll reveal something, aren't you?

Stand

Don't pick up your dribble until you know what you're going to do with the ball.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

With my legs? Are you kidding?

Mainly because it's four more matches I'd have to set up for the first round. If there is sufficient outcry, I'll think about 32. Maybe.

All right, after a refreshing (?) break, it's time to get back to the Tournaments! Today we begin Qualification and Seeding for the Open Class Tournament. There are 49 heroes; 28 of them will qualify for the tournament. The nominees are broken down into three lists. Select as many or as few as you please from each list. The top 28 vote recipients will be seeded based on a top-secret formula of my devising. Voting will remain available until Thursday, April 6th at 5:00 p.m. EDT. That will give me some time to organize and set up the brackets. The opening rounds of the tournament will be posted Sunday or Monday. Let's get it started!

I'll post the Open Class Qualifying / Seeding Poll sometime in the next 48 hours. There are quite a few more nominated characters in this group, IIRC, so we may start with 28 characters, with only the Top Four getting an opening round bye.

Isn't it already tomorrow in Australia?

Sometimes you're better off dead There's a gun in your hand it's pointing at your head You think you're mad too unstable Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables In a restaurant in a West end town Call the police there's a mad man around Running down underground To a dive bar in a West end town In a West end town a dead end world The East end boys and West end girls In a West end town in a dead end world The East end boys and West end girls West end girls Too many shadows whispering voices Faces on posters too many choices If when why what how much have you got Have you got it do you get it If so how often Which do you choose A hard or soft option (How much do you need) In a West end town a dead end world The East end boys and West end girls In a West end town in a dead end world The East end boys and West end girls West end girls West end girls In a West end town a dead end world The East end boys and West end girls Ooh a West end town in a dead end world The East end boys and West end girls West end girls You got a heart of glass or a heart of stone Just you wait till I get you home We've got no future We've got no past Here today built to last In every city and every nation From Lake Geneva to the Finland station (How far have you been) In a West end town a dead end world The East end boys and West end girls In a West end town in a dead end world The East end boys and West end girls West end girls West end girls West end girls (How far have you been) Girls
